The term skip trace, also referred to as skip tracing, skiptracer, skiptrace, and skip tracers is defined below: “skiptracing (also skip tracing, skiptrace, or debtor and fugitive recovery) is the process of locating a person’s whereabouts for any number of purposes. A skiptracer is someone who performs this task, which may be the person’s primary occupation.” or “Skip tracing is an industry term used to describe the process of locating a fugitive that can’t be found at their place of residence or usual hangouts. ‘Skip’ refers to the person being searched for (derived from the term ‘to skip town’) and ‘tracing’ meaning the act of locating the skip.”
