I
want to commend the Associated Licensed Detectives of NY State on the selection of Gil Alba for Investigator of the Year, 2003. After retiring as CEO of Prodigy Services Company, I had the pleasure of working as a volunteer with Gil on the Larry Andrews, missing person case, in 1998. Gil “drafted” me to be a part of a team that he put together to conduct a comprehensive search for the missing boy whose body was eventually found. It was clear to me then that Gil was a very organized, professional and driven investigator who went well beyond normal business borders to do what was necessary, working around the clock to help find the family’s missing son.
When the Larry Andrew case was concluded, Gil pulled together all the information associated with the development and administration of how to conduct a large-scale search for a missing person and developed a web site called Iammissing.com. The site was live for several years and was frequently accessed by numerous people around the world.
I also have some familiarity with the Kristine Kupka case and have watched Gil spend countless months and years working to assemble all the pieces to the puzzle in order to bring finality to this ongoing investigation. He, along with Kathy Kupka, has refused to let the investigation languish and he has done what was necessary, often at his own expense, to continue the search and pull together all the piece-parts that will ultimately result in the conviction of the killer.
Gil Alba is the kind of person that any family in need would want to call on for help. He exudes professionalism and is relentless to the task. The Associated Licensed Detectives of NYS has clearly bestowed their award on the right person.
Respectfully,
Ross Glatzer
CEO, OneCARE
