‘Like going on a scavenger hunt when you don’t know what you’re looking for’
Jeff Means spends 10-hour days staring at a TV screen, editing surveillance videotape shot by his investigators.
The Hazel Green private investigator and founder of Sound Mind Investigations has a marker board in his office filled with a long list of ready-to-be-edited surveillance tapes.
Means and his six-person staff are often hired by individuals in the North Alabama area hoping to win child custody or find out if their spouse is cheating.
