Our Story
FactFinders Investigations was founded on a single principle: the truth matters. Based in Southern Utah, we built a firm that combines licensed investigative expertise with modern research methodology to deliver findings you can actually rely on — in a landscape crowded with data aggregators and automated reports.
Our investigators bring backgrounds in law enforcement, legal research, and corporate compliance. Every case is handled by a licensed professional — not an algorithm — ensuring the accuracy, context, and chain of custody that attorneys and HR professionals require.
From employment background checks to complex asset investigations, we serve clients across St. George, Cedar City, Washington County, Iron County, and throughout Utah — approaching every engagement with the same discipline: thorough, documented, and defensible.

Leadership
Scott Heinecke
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Scott Heinecke brings more than four decades of investigative experience to FactFinders Investigations, having begun his career in law enforcement in 1978. A graduate of Weber State University with a Bachelor of Science in Police Science, Scott built his professional foundation in the field before transitioning his expertise to the private sector.
Scott is a founding member of the Private Investigators Association of Utah (PIAU), where he served as both President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. In those roles, he was a driving force behind the establishment of Utah's state licensing framework for private investigators — a landmark achievement that raised professional standards and accountability across the industry.
His career spans surveillance, background investigations, skip tracing, asset searches, and complex litigation support. Scott founded FactFinders on the conviction that clients deserve investigators who combine real-world experience with rigorous legal compliance — and he remains actively involved in every case the firm undertakes.
