Meet the team
My name is Terry Markham, owner and lead investigator of Gold Sar Investigations. I am a retired law enforcement officer with over 25 years of experience, dedicated to providing unbiased, professional investigative services since founding this company in 2024. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to uncovering the truth. I began as a corrections officer and concluded my service as a criminal investigator, having also served as a patrol and civil officer.
My experience includes working on a Federal Drug Task Force, where I received extensive training in digital forensics, along with a range of specialized skills. These include asset forfeiture, gang identification, drug investigations, interview and interrogation techniques, civil law (basic and advanced), crime scene photography, evidence collection, and more.
The name "Gold Sar Investigations" reflects my career journey. I aspired to be an investigator in a police department, a role traditionally marked by a distinct gold badge. Working for a Sheriff's Office, our badges were shaped as stars rather than the traditional shield—thus, "Gold Star Investigations."
It would be an honor to put my skills and experience to work on your case, bringing the same dedication to your needs as I have throughout my career. I am a fully licensed and insured Private Investigator, licensed to operate in New York State. I am licensed by the New York State Department of State.
