Forget the Trenchcoat and Night Vision Goggles

You won't need any Ethan Hunt disguises here. The GDC offers a super convenient online offender search tool. That's right, from the comfort of your couch (or bathtub, we don't judge), you can track down your errant acquaintance.

Search Like a Boss (or Private Eye...ish)

Here's what you'll need to crack this case wide open (figuratively speaking of course):

  • Name of the fugitive (a.k.a. the inmate) - This seems pretty obvious, but hey, stranger things have happened!
  • GDC ID or Case Number (optional) - If you're feeling fancy and have this info, it can help narrow down the search.

Uh Oh, I Don't Have Any of That Information!
