ABOUT PALLORIUM

Pallorium, Inc. is a licensed Investigative Agency, with offices and affiliates worldwide. Since 1980, Pallorium's investigators have successfully closed more than ten thousand (10,000) cases, ranging from homicide investigations to missing persons cases to various types of sophisticated financial frauds.

Pallorium was one of the first agencies to successfully investigate and make a recovery of lost assets in connection with "prime bank note" and"prime bank guarantee" frauds, and we have investigated dozens of similar scams, including "roll program" and "trading program" frauds.

Since 1981, our investigators have conducted more than one thousand (1,000) missing person investigations, with a better than 90% successful closure rate.

Pallorium's investigators have conducted investigations in fifty-three (53) countries and territories, and in nearly every U.S. State and Canadian province. Our investigators have conducted homicide and/or death claim investigations in more than forty countries.

Approximately one thousand (1,000) newspaper and magazine articles have reported on our investigations and on our staff. (For reprints of some of those articles, please see below.)

Pallorium's investigations have also been covered by more than four hundred (400) local television broadcasts, and by national news broadcasts such as "Sixty Minutes", "IBA News", "Dateline", "The National", "ARD Report Mainz", "48 Hours" and "America's Most Wanted".

Pallorium's Senior Director, Steven Rambam, is a well known lecturer, who speaks on topics ranging from "the location of missing persons", to "international and multi-jurisdictional investigation", to "the criminal use of false identification",  to "war crimes and the pursuit of war criminals".

Mr. Rambam is a "technical advisor" for the Kinky Friedman series of murder mystery novels, and he appears as the fictional character "Rambam" in those books.

"Meanwhile Back At The Ranch", the new Kinky Friedman murder mystery novel featuring "Rambam", a New York City Private Investigator, is now in bookstores everywhere. (Published by Simon and Schuster.)

... Many aspects of this investigative trinity were so daunting that I'd taken to referring to each case with a code name. Rambam, my P.I. pal, had provided the three investigations with their cryptic monikers. I was not wild about the three names that he'd chosen, but at least they provided a handy way to converse clandestinely about these matters, thereby keeping the other Village Irregulars in total innocence. "I'm just not sure", I said to the cat, "that Moe, Larry and Curly are quite the correct nomenclature for matters of this import." ...

- Page 1, "Meanwhile Back At The Ranch", (c) Kinky Friedman
