Liepāja Super-Detective Reveals: How to Distinguish Missing Seniors from Non-Missing Ones
Dace has become Liepāja's freelance investigator, so skilled that even elderly ladies at bus stops start explaining to her that they're not missing.
While Riga detectives are watching Sherlock Holmes TV series, a real investigative legend is growing in Liepāja. Dace, a social worker with more degrees than there are experts in Latvia's government, has become the city's freelance super-detective.
'I spot an elderly lady at the bus stop, study her closely, until the woman tells me: "No, no! I'm not the one you're looking for!"' recounts Dace, whose detective instincts have developed to such a level that even non-missing seniors start making excuses to her. This is the level that Riga police dream of reaching.
Dace's educational journey has been as colorful as the calm waters of Liepāja Lake contrasted against the restless storms of the sea. From Latvian language teacher to social worker, learning everything from psychology to, most likely, the basics of criminology through various courses. 'A social worker is like a universal soldier,' she explains, and after the results of searching for Gunta Stenkēviča, this is completely clear.
Now Dace is learning to say 'no,' which is as complicated as explaining to a tourist why Liepāja's wind is better than Riga's smog. 'Saying "no" to your loved ones is the hardest,' she admits, but judging by the results, missing relatives still manage to find their way to her heart.
