Busted looks at the intriguing world of Investigating numerous complex cases in New Zealand and how technology has helped (and sometimes hampered) successful outcomes. All the cases contained in Busted did happen, and the reader will probably remember a number of the cases. It's an eclectic collection of stories to show you the real world of a private investigator or PI - the warm, fuzzy jobs, the ugly ones and the downright bizarre. A lot of cases required good investigative work, some needed luck. Some were sad, some vicious. None were boring!
Ron McQuilter is a career investigator, brought up in the "hard" part of Glasgow. He joined the Glasgow Police aged 19 and was posted to the Gorbals, famous for its high crime rate. He fell in love with a Kiwi girl and immigrated to New Zealand in 1983 where he became a private investigator. Now the country's most prominent PI, he features regularly on television and is the go to man for media comment. Ron is the founder of and still heads up Paragon, New Zealand's largest PI firm, with a team of agents and several national contracts. Ron has featured as one of the Missing Pieces team on TV3, specialising in tracking down lost family members. In 2008 he travelled solely to London and managed to solve a 6 year old cold case involving a missing New Zealand man.
