P.I. Brianne Joseph’s stakeout stash – Show me yours

Remember the ’80s TV Show Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd? Shepherd was a former model who opened her own private detective agency. Well, we’ve got our own model-turned-private investigator right here in Baton Rouge.

As a model, Brianne Joseph worked with artists like Mariah Carey and LL Cool J. But for the past five years she’s been known as Sly Fox, with offices here and New Orleans.

When she’s not rummaging through public records or sitting on a stakeout, Joseph is a crisis counselor and community presenter for the Battered Women’s Shelter and a volunteer with the Miss Black Louisiana USA Pageant.

Her private investigation work is going well. “We work approximately 15 cases per month, doing everything from surveillance to undercover assignments to insurance fraud,” she explains.

And what about the name, Sly Fox? “Sly is for the stealth that my business requires, and the Fox denotes femininity,” Joseph says with a smile.
