I have never knowingly met OW or her H. They live in WS hometown and I don't really have anyone to help much there as his family has firmly decided to "stay out of it". OW has lost her job and is probably erasing my messages for her H. She has a cell phone and I am guessing that her H probably does as well but I don't have his number (I have hers). They have something or other that identifies a blocked call so that doesn't go through. The machine is sometimes on and sometimes off but I have left 4 messages and her H has not returned the call. My guess is that she is home, unemployed and erasing the messages and turning the machine off. I know their address but they live 5 hours away so I can't really drive over. I have no idea where he works.

Does anyone know how I can get a cell phone number for him? assuming that he has one? Or where he might work? I am considering calling a PI but they could be more than I can afford right now.

I am losing a lot of time and really want to contact him. Any ideas?

Thank you

Do you know his name? Have you done a good search for him in google? Local phone book to get the home number? I think it's reverse white pages that links you to a site that shows you the neighbors names and phone numbers also. You could maybe call a neighbor and somehow find out through some "creative" conversation. Just an idea or two.

There is a fee, but I got some useful onfo from them about an unlisted number once.
HTH.

Thank you intexas. I have his name, address and unlisted phone number. I have spent quite a bit of time on google and he has had some failed businesses that have reported to the BBB but no info on where he works now. I tried calling her cell number adding and subtracting a digit hoping they had consequetive numbers like we do but that didn't pan out either. I am trying to find a cell number, work number or email address so I can get to him without her interfering.

Are you willing to try the neighbor route? You can use that unlisted number you have to get a list on neighbors. You never know--you might not get where he works, but might at least be able to get his cell number from them--for some kind of "emergency."
Please don't take the above as a sign that I'm an advocate of lying--at this stage, you're running out of options.
Or instead of a PI, maybe just make the drive up there. 5 hours in the car is MUCH cheaper than a PI.

Try calling a number of private investigative agencies. Since you have the individual's name and address, it might not be too great a chore for an agency specializing in electronic surveillance to find a cell phone number. If he’s employed anywhere, the agency might be able to tap into IRS records or something. There are many records that are technically public but are hard to get to for the uninitiated. Who knows, it might be so easy the agency might give you a good deal. It won’t hurt to call them.

The simplest resolution is, of course, just to suck it up and drive there. Get a friend to go with you and just do it. However, if the OW is staying at home now, you’d probably have to run a gauntlet getting past her to the OWH.

What would happen if you sent him a certified/receipt required letter?
I'm not sure if only the person it's addressed to has to sign it or not..It could save you a 5 hr. drive..

You may want to see if any other MB posters live in or near that city maybe they would be willing to drive by and see if the husband even lives there anymore..
