Investigator thrives on protecting the innocent

Anji Fussell is a licensed private investigator who has been running She Spies Private Eye for five years in Round Rock and recently moved to a new office on Joe DiMaggio Boulevard in June.

“The general public doesn’t know we’re here and what we can do to help them,” Fussell said. “They think we’re just in the movies.”

While Fussell won’t be caught in a trench coat and fedora, she does have a degree in criminal justice and experience as a background investigator for the Austin Police Department. She also worked as a private investigator under a former FBI agent before she was encouraged to open her own firm. Fussell chose Round Rock because she saw an area in need of her profession.

She Spies specializes in infidelity and child custody cases, but offers a multitude of other services from background checks to transports.

As a mother of four and a former juvenile probation officer, Fussell takes special interest in child custody cases. In a recent case, Fussell uncovered a divorced mother exposing her child to drugs and alcohol. After turning surveillance video over to a judge, the father was awarded primary custody.

“I can’t stand to see people getting the raw end of the deal,” Fussell said. “We are able to make sure kids end up in the right home with the right parent. So many people say they wish they’d come here sooner because we could have helped them.”

Because so many people are unaware of the assistance She Spies provides, Fussell strives to inform the public about her services and remain involved in the community. She is an ambassador for the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce as well as a member of Women in Business.

She Spies’ staff consists of two full-time employees, five field agents and one part-time employee who helps with background checks.

Along with her Round Rock office, Fussell hopes to expand to Temple, a city she says has few private investigators.

Despite the growth of her business, Fussell said she continues to get very personally involved with each client because she understands what they are going through.

“We won’t call a client and say we can’t figure it out. We’ll actually end up spending way more money than we’re charging just because I keep pushing,” she said.

“All in all it’s exciting. It’s rewarding when you’re helping people and giving them answers.”
