Your friend overpaid.  It normally costs less than $25 to locate an adult
in the U.S. unless they are trying not to be found.  Men tend to be very
easy to locate in the U.S., women are a bit harder for a variety of reasons.
The most expensive part of the whole process is likely the telephone bill
for long-distance calls to verify that you've located the correct person.
