Think Only Politicians Cheat On Their Spouses? Think Again, Says Top San Francisco Bay Area Private Investigator
Claire Ellison* later admitted that her fingers trembled as she dialed the telephone number for Butler & Associates, a private investigations firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She’d found the agency through its Web site, http://uncover-truth.com/. The Chicago woman’s husband was flying into San Francisco for a conference that night, and she had a feeling the trip wasn’t going to be strictly business. Her instinct was right: the next day Butler’s team of investigators FedExed Ms. Ellison a DVD containing footage captured with a hidden camera. In it, her husband undressed a busty blond in his hotel room.
“I never would have known,” the mother of four told Chris Butler, the former law enforcement officer who heads the agency. “For so long he lied to me and told me I was just paranoid, that I was crazy. And you know, I’d started to believe it!”
After more than a decade as a P.I. specializing in infidelity, Butler can say with confidence that very few of his clients are wrong. Or crazy.
“That’s simply what their spouses would like them to believe,” he says. “Men and women who cheat tend to become experts at manipulating the people closest to them, and at convincing them to believe whatever story they spin. Do I think that Spitzer’s wife knew her husband had spent $80,000 on prostitutes? Probably not. But I bet she had her suspicions over the years–and I’ll bet he talked his way out of them.”
The ex-governor’s wife may have been wise to turn to Butler. Using creative tactics employed by few other private investigations firms, his company uncovers information for clients about their spouses’ behavior that helps enable clients to make important decisions about the future. Whether working on a case in San Francisco or further afield in New York City, Canada or the United Kingdom–all places investigators have hit the ground running in recent months–the firm consistently delivers professional results. Among the firm’s most popular services are installing undetectable GPS tracking devices in vehicles to enable clients to track their spouses’ movements online, orchestrating stings utilizing attractive female decoys to test husbands’ fidelity, and conducting undercover surveillance.
Comprehensive information about the firm’s services and personnel, along with pricing, can be found on its Web site, http://uncover-truth.com/. For additional information, or to request an interview with Butler or a member of his staff, see the contact details below. Note that the agency does not adhere to standard business hours; phones are answered day and night. And that’s just the way Butler likes it.
“We understand that the problems our clients are experiencing are real and oftentimes emotionally charged. We encourage our clients to call us as often as they desire; we do not charge for conversations like attorneys,” says Butler. “Failure to address serious problems often has traumatic, devastating consequences.”

I know that all kinds of people cheat. But what I hate is how they apologize just because they got caught! They are not sorry! If they are then, they are only sorry because they got caught!
April 5th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I think it would be so hard to make the decision to have someone you love and someone you want to trust investigated. But I guess it’s better to know the truth.
April 5th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I was wondering more along financial lines; is this kind of investigating that is only for the very rich, or are there packages for the middle class?
April 6th, 2008 at 8:09 am
I would be curious to know if it is really expensive also? Honestly I would hope that I would never have to go to these lengths to find out if my spouse was cheating. But if I really honestly deep down thought he was I would consider it.
April 6th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I don’t know if I would have him investigated or not.
I guess if I felt threatened, then I would so that I could prepare for divorce, before he figured out that I knew and started trying to hide assets.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I’d like to think that if I had that little trust in someone, I wouldn’t be in a relationship with them to start with, but I know things happen…
I can’t imagine hiring a private investigator would be cheap.
April 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
If I sensed my spouse was cheating in any kind of way, be it physical or emotional, I would just allow things to continue for a while, after I have had enough evidence, I would calmly bring them up to him.
April 9th, 2008 at 9:52 am
The only reason I can think of to use a private detectives would be to gather evidence for a divorce settlement. If you think you need to employ them then the trust is obviously gone from your relationship, which in my mind means it’s pretty much over.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:24 am
You do bring up a good point in that if you are suspecting that they are cheating then the trust is pretty much already gone.
April 15th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Trick-r-treat, LOL! You are so right about that….
Most of the time they are never really sorry that they hurt someone else. I think they are more sorry that they got caught doing the nasties and now everyone knows.
April 15th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Calypso, it’s usually those little demons in your head that makes the decision to have your partner investigated easy.
I personally would want to know if he is or he isn’t, instead of listening to all the doubts in my mind. That can really drive you mental. Always worrying where he is and who he’s with.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
mollyL, rich or not, I don’t think you can really put a price on having peace of mind.
I know people who have hired private investigators that I thought could have used the money better elsewhere (like perhaps counselling?????). Whatever it takes to make them feel more confident that nothing is happening behind their backs.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Tater03, I hope the same thing too. That I would ever be faced with this problem in my marriage. My husband is a good guy and I have no need to doubt him.
Hiring a private investigator is a good idea because you have irrefutable proof of whether it’s true or not.
April 17th, 2008 at 11:08 am
SageMother…. LOL, then you definitely going to need him investigated if you are planning to take half his assets!
April 17th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Calypso, there are just so many things that can happen and we have no control over it.
Wouldn’t it be so nice if everyone relationship is faithful to each other? I wonder what the world would be like?
April 20th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Liza, what happens if he denies that there is nothing happening? What will you do?
April 20th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Green-Moo, I had a girlfriend that actually stalked her ex to find out the truth if he was cheating.
If she just hired a private detective, she would not have lost her job (because she took a leave of absence) and she would not have a criminal record today (he charged her with stalking). Since her background is working in banks, she’s having difficulty looking for a job today because of the strict criminal check requirement.
April 20th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
After all that, I really hope it was worth it. As he charged her, I presume he didn’t take kindly to the idea & they’re no longer together.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Tater03, that’s true….
But there really are some men and women out there with double the goonies in their head.
I just found out that one of my girlfriends threatened her boyfriend with a knife because she said he was talking to the girl next door through the walls…..
I think she really needs some serious help.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I have to say that if my partner hired a private investigator to follow me around, our relationship would be OVER.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Ditto Calypso, I feel exactly the same. That’s why I’d not do it to my partner. If I felt that strongly that it was necessary, the relationship would be over anyway.
April 30th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Green-Moo, not sure what happened there. I guess it’s a true life story case study.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Calypso, I’d really feel creeped out too because I have nothing to hide.
May 6th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Green-Moo, it’s good to see that we are sticking to what we feel is right and that there are relationships out there with both partners trusting each other.
Sometimes it just all comes down to the baggage that people carry from one relationship to the next. Women who have been cheated on numerous times will always find reasons not to trust.
May 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 am
I agree Imaginary Diva, and let’s not forget men too. However, I think that if you respect your partner you can supress the urge to follow up on those feelings.
May 24th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I agree, Green. I would be well out of a relationship before it got to that stage. There has to be trust and respect, or else it’s not a viable relationship.
