A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Cameron Park can continue in nearby communities such as Shingle Springs, El Dorado Hills, Diamond Springs, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
