WHO WE ARE

UPSTATE UNDERGROUND IS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER TEAM THAT OFFERS ONLINE, OPEN-SOURCE INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, VICTIMS, AND OUR COMMUNITIES.

WE ARE AN INCLUSIVE TEAM MADE UP OF PEOPLE OF VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS, FAITHS, AND WORLDVIEWS. WE BELIEVE EVERY HUMAN DESERVES DIGNITY AND RESPECT, AND WE DO NOT MAKE INVESTIGATIVE DECISIONS BASED ON RACE, SEX, GENDER, OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

WE ARE NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT TEAM. ALL ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE IS TURNED OVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES, PER OUR GUIDING STEPS: HUNT. CONFIRM. HAND OVER.

Our Services

All of our investigations are based on passive OSINT, meaning we use only open-source information sources and do not engage in any type of contact with subjects of investigation.

We conduct primarily sex trafficking investigations, but also assist by request with missing persons and cold cases. Our members have worked with several area law enforcement agencies and some are CJIS-certified.

Please reach out with any questions or requests.

TraffickTrace25

TraffickTrace25 was held on November 13-14 this year. This live, annual, 2-day event in Greenville, SC is open to any adult 18+ and involves group training followed by the use of OSINT (open-source intelligence) tools to track down leads on trafficking victims. All leads from the event are turned over to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

TraffickTrace is a collaborative event between Upstate Underground and Upstate Crime Analysis Center (UCAC) in partnership with Switch.
