DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!! Harry Oakes is a scam artist! He wanted to charge my family $200/hour to send out his K9s when we didn't even have a starting point! He then went on social media to comment on news outlets that my family is refusing K9 searches. This then lead people to get suspicious of us, like WE were the ones who made my grandfather go missing. He then took it upon himself to trash my family on his personal Facebook page. If you don't like his service, he will gaslight you into thinking you are the issue. Just take a look at how he replies to some of the negative Yelp comments. He manipulates people by telling them law enforcement does the same stuff he does. WRONG! Sheriffs and police departments have told my family to stay FAR AWAY from this guy, because he is just in it for money, he preys on vulnerable families. STAY FAR AWAY!!!

Shame on Megan.

Obviously, she knows nothing about my credibility.

The credibility I’ve built in the courtroom and outside the courtroom through my successful missions over the last 49 years.

She never bitched or complained when I donated my services as a volunteer searcher with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s office from 1972-1974. While a member of US Army Military Police 1974-1977. While I worked in Law enforcement as a regular police officer, and reserved deputy from 1977 through 1994.

While I worked as a K9 Consultant for Clark Co SO for Sheriff’ Kanakoha.

While I donated my services and skills while an active member of Portland Mountain Rescue and Mountain Wilderness Search Dogs. 1986-1997. Nor have you mentioned my 25 years of donating my services to the American Red Cross Oregon Trail chapter disaster services.

Nor have you complained when I volunteered my skills and time on the Back Country ski patrol for Mt Hood, and Mt St Helens, Wa.

What about the hundreds of victims I’ve found alive and dead during all these years? Not one mention about that?

I didn’t become a paid private contractor in Sar until I had been in SAR for 27 years volunteering.

And if you did your homework/research you would have found it was because the Ore. Dept of Justice asked me to become a private contractor so the sheriff’s office couldn’t have any control my work as a paid professional. After I testified in the Ore. Legislature on HB 3093 against Klamath County and the OSSA. When KCSO by their lack of actions cause the deaths of two innocent children and OSSA covered it all up.

I’m still used and supported by the state police, many other govt agencies and of course private families who want their loved ones to be found by someone like me who has now 49 years experience.

Everyone of my clients gets a contract which spells out what I can and can’t do for them. There is absolutely no scamming of anyone. If I were a scam artists as you falsely claim, I would have been shut down many years ago.

This contract that I provide for my clients, protects the client as well as my business. Out of 14,335 cases, I’ve been wrong 4 times on my conclusions. What business that has helped over 14,300 clients can say that? That’s less then .0002%. That along with being hired by and being an advisor to, SAR teams such as the St Croix USVI, Sitka SAR dogs, Turkish K9 SAR, NATO, UK SAR, all have been successful due to my professional ethics and training.

Just because your paid support folks (Local law enforcement and volunteers) have all failed to find her grandfather, doesn’t give her the right to slander me or my business. She has no one to blame about her grandfather not being found but herself and her family for not bringing in a skilled experience paid professional as myself. I have thousands of references who speak highly of my skills and documentation.

 

Ask Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis’ mothers’ who found their daughters after being murdered and concealed by Ward Weaver in Ore. City in 2002. This after the police and FBI both went public after their searches for the girls and told everyone the girls “Were not on Ward’s property”. They lied and we told the truth.

Respectfully
