What is the definition of Investigate?
 

Etymology: Latin investigatus, past participle of investigare to track, investigate, from in- + vestigium footprint, track

 
1) transitive senses : to observe or study by close examination and systematic inquiry
 

2) intransitive senses : to make a systematic examination; especially : to conduct an official inquiry

For most people, private investigators are simply characters from books, movies and TV.  Those can be heroes, like Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade, Thomas Magnum, James Rockford, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Jane Marple.  They can even be portrayed as hilarious misfits, like Inspecteur Clouseau, Harry Crumb and Ace Ventura.
 
Regardless of whether the character is a hero or misfit, there is the sense that the investigator possesses special talents and experience that will get the job done. The most prevailing is persistence. Without the dogged persistence of the investigator, the case would go unsolved.

In today's world, not all cases are glamorous, nor do they lead to high intrigue.  The art of investigation requires a great deal of patience, persistence and experience.  As with most professions, the longer an investigator practices those methods, the greater the opportunity for good fortune.  By obtaining reliable facts, intelligent decisions can be made.  With enough practice, wisdom often follows.
