What should you do if all previous address and contact information for a subject is no longer valid?

  1. Use only public databases

  2. Conduct an extensive background search using multiple sources

  3. Post information on social media

  4. Use GPS tracking without consent

The correct answer is: Conduct an extensive background search using multiple sources

It is important to conduct an extensive background search using multiple sources because relying on only public databases may not yield accurate or up-to-date information. Posting information on social media could potentially violate the subject's privacy, and using GPS tracking without consent is illegal and unethical. Therefore, the best option is to gather information from various reliable sources to ensure its accuracy and relevance.
