Hi-- just joined. Sorry if this isn't a usual kind of post. I need to find more information on some people who I believe are swindling my mom for thousands of dollars. They are right out in the open, with a website And a decent sized instagram following. I don't think they're necessarily a cult. But their organization possesses some abnormal qualities that I just can't tolerate. Example: calling their followers "padawans." They call their "courses" masterclasses, witch is clearly extremely far from the truth as I've seen what my mother produces as part of her assignments. Think: digital vision boards that connect you to -source-. Here's the link. Thanks in advance if anyone can find anything about them that isn't total fluff.

TLDR: (for context, we are both White Canadians in our early 20s)- My girlfriend is being stalked by a creepy (Indian) man who keeps showing up at her workplace and circling the block, even after the police talked to him and her work trespassed him. I’ve filmed his behavior and gotten his license plate, but the police say they can’t do anything unless he commits a crime. I’m picking her up and dropping her off every shift, but we’re stuck and don’t know what to do. Looking for advice.

For context I live in a major city in Canada and I have already gotten “help” from the police (they can’t do anything until something terrible happens). Long story short, over a year ago my girlfriend, who is very young and works a customer facing position right downtown, got approached by a man (Indian, roughly 30) who had been staring/waiting for her outside for 3+ hours, late at night as the store was closing. Luckily, one of her vigilant co-workers , saw what was going to happen and stuck around with her defusing the situation. She clearly told him she had a boyfriend. This was someone who she had seen before, he was a customer at her work and had used multiple different names when ordering.

This was slightly unsettling as he is a good amount older than her and it’s really creepy to do that, but at this point I tired to let it go. But he continued to consistently come and stay outside for significant amounts of time when she worked, ocanssionally coming in, almost as if he knew when she was working and was waiting for her. It got to the point where I was picking her up and dropping her off every shift, she couldn’t be comfortable at work and we were seriously worried he mad malicious intentions.

So I waiting for her outside during her shift, hoping that making my presence more known would scare him off. Sure enough he showed up, at this point I wasnt sure if I knew who he who I was or not. But he instantly acted suspicious and sketched out by me , ducking into the store next door and just getting napkins before leaving. I saw what kind of car he was driving , but not his license plate.

I hoped my presence would scare him off, but after a little while he was back again. At this point my girlfriend spoke with the local Police officers who come by her work, and they said if we have the license plate, they can talk to him. I went to the shop next door I saw him go into and showed them a picture of him my GF had taken, hoping they would know who he is. Come to find out he’s an Uber Eats driver, who used to pickup orders from this store next door (probably how he saw her in the first place).

Her next shift , I waited outside for him to film his license plate and capture his weird behaviour to show to the police. I did not want a physical altercation, I refused to speak or start one with him , as I don’t want to be held liable for anything in this situation , its purely harassment from him (but secretly I was hoping he would try something, I’m young and 6’4 I wasn’t really worried and it would’ve created an opportunity to end this finally).

I wasn’t enough to deter him, I filmed him for 2+ hours as he tired to hang outside and intimidate me, staring directly at me (I was advised by everyone not to engage or speak to him - Canadian law is beyond messed up - I was afraid of retaliation ) . We showed the police officer all of this - he talked the stalker, telling him he’s not to go near or speak to either of us ever again. The store my GF works for also got involved trespassing him from returning. At this point, we were hoping the clear message from the police would scare him.

But no, she tried changing her shift, but he still occasionally circles the block slowly outside looking in. I worry about his intentions constantly, my GF needs the job but IDK what to do at this point. I have to pick her up and drop her off everyday, the police can’t do anytime until he does. I have the photos and videos of him, but what can I even do with that?

Please any advice?, what should I do?

I have seen several posts here and in other security and law enforcement related subreddits asking how to obtain personal medical information such as disabilities and other private information. All of these requests are violations of laws in both the US and its territories, and England, UK, Scotland, and other British isles. We have a zero tolerance policy for discrimination. Please report any posts asking to hire someone to obtain personal medical information.

So in 2002 when I was 8 I was kidnapped by our downstairs neighbor and held captive for hours and unspeakable things were done to me while he contemplated leaving with me. Thankfully I escaped. I really want to know who the mf is. I’ve searched databases that are free online and can’t find anything that far back. I don’t remember his name but sort of remember his face. I know the address and year it happened. Could I still report it to police? It’s been 23 years now. The police were not called back then due to my guardians not being sober and they also had warrants. So they never called police. I really need closure in knowing who this man was. It also makes me sick because since he wasn’t reported back then I’m sure he’s kidnapped, graped or possibly murdered other children and some nights it keeps me awake.

Over the summer I was in Paris and bought this scrapbook from a bookshop. I've tried looking up the book or the artist behind it but wasn't able to find anything. The only information I have is that it dates back to 2001, the artists's name appears to be Olaf, the name of the book is "Half & Half" and the only text is in the covers saying "Toronto-Paris", "Navet Power" and "La Force du 3eme miillenaire". It also has a random bill and USPS stamps from Des Moines. Please help me locate the artist!!!

I was previously catfished and the person who did it would face criminal charges but my local PD's detective seems to lack any urgency. This person has numerous accounts on social sites and other miscellaneous sites. I also have some other information that could possibly help ID them but since they were lying about who they were I can't be certain the personal info would be true.

Is it possible to find the true identity of someone while:

1. not alerting them that they are being investigated (no direct contact or contact to their peers or the person whose images they are using)

and

2. doing so in a legal manner that could be shared with the PD and used against the catfish?

If it's possible, how easy or difficult is it? Is it something that could be done with near certainty? Or only if luck is on my side? I've done a decent bit of my own "detecting" but haven't come up with anything.

I know it might be not a good place to ask this question, but can somebody help me please? I'm going to write a crime novel about homicide but have no idea how detectives actually solve a crime. What they start at first do, and how they find a murder?

Hello, so in my campus there is currently an investigation going on where some people are graffitiing hurtful messages onto the bathroom walls. They're also using a burner number to send racist messages towards students that are people of color. Is there a way to trace them through the burner numbers in anyway? Any information is helpful, and all information will go to make sure these people get proper disciplinary action.

In the future I do want to be some type of detective and any time I search up the risk it says "dangers involving physical altercations or gun fights" but it never exactly stated what happens or causes the altercations if that makes sense.

How would I go about finding an old friend? I was best friends with a buddy when we were young in the 1990s in Canada. But then I moved to the USA with my parents and lost contact with this guy. I thought of him recently and tried searching for him on social media, but nothing. This could just mean he prefers to be totally offline, but I searched obituaries as well, just in case. Luckily, I found nothing there either, so I’m hoping he’s still with us and I can find him. How would I go about this?

Hello,

Not sure where else to post this. But I’m looking for my biological father. He left me and my brother when I was 5. I’m 22 now. I want to see him again. How should I go about finding him? Any ideas are welcome

What is this? Can't find a mystery. Here is a short description that I remember. "Police gets a call from someone, but no one is talking, just silence. They arrived and found body of woman. Landline Phone has dust on it and no finger prints, looks.like no one ised it for awhile. They found a Letter about her son, who passed away and who became alive. Apperantly woman used black magic to get him back, but he came back different and etc." I watched it long time ago, and feel like it was a real story. Anyone knows anything about it?

Two houseless people have showed up at my house the past three days with weird requests. Somehow they had my address for something specific, but have been very unclear from where, and what they want, when asked… (this is VERY out of the norm for my house btw).

It all started when a few days ago my roommate (27 M) was leaving the house late at night (around 10:30 pm). He saw a very strange person outside on our driveway. They talked briefly and the weird man asked questions like “how many people live here?” “how many people are home?” and weirdest of all “how many people are home that don’t live here?” He told us that he had been to our place before and needed to come inside. He was very adamant about it and said he could come in because “where he’s from, if you have stayed somewhere, you can come and go when you please.” Then he claimed he left something like a coin or USB in one of the rooms under the carpet. Very strange, and kept changing his story. My roommate obviously said no, but this man would not leave our porch. Even after we closed and locked the door. We called the police (who ended up being entirely useless). Eventually he left for a little bit and my same roommate drove to see if he could find him. He found this MF CRAWLING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON ALL FOURS. About 30 mins later we heard him moaning while coming closer to the house. Suddenly while looking out the window we see this man SLOWLY CRAWL OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORS YARD INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND ONTO OUR PORCH. He literally looked like the mfing grudge. Horror movie shit.

This man wouldn’t leave for about an hour. He was also yelling and knocking for a long time. He left a weird package out side our door and eventually left right before the cops came (of course two hours after we called). The package was an opened box of our neighbor from four blocks down mail. This is was terrifying obviously, but none of us in the house (there are five of us) expected ANOTHER man to show up asking weird things only three days later.

Literally last night another houseless man came knocking on our door at 11 pm. He asked my roommate, who nervously cracked the door, if this was the “computer house”. (NO IDEA what that means). And said he got our address from VENMO!?!? Wtf! He was much tamer but this doesn’t feel like a coincidence given nothing like this has happened in the three years I’ve lived at this house.

Apparently before we lived here the house used to be a bit of a trap house where people would come and do drugs all the time. However, NOTHING like this at all has happened in the past three years I’ve lived here. I have no idea why this is happening now. Could my address be leaked on the dark web? Are people coming here for drugs? Are we being harassed and someone is paying ppl on Venmo to come here? I actually genuinely need help with this, it’s making my home of three years a scary place to live. Any advice is so so appreciated because the cops have clearly proven themselves useless in this situation.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this but I’m writing a crime novel and want to include a “detective report” of sorts at the end, in which the detective would explain different clues that led him to finding the culprit, since the story is almost entirely written following the culprit who is unbeknownst to the reader until the very end.

If someone could guide me with the general structure it should follow, that would be really helpful! Thank you

does anyone has the free pdf version of "How to Write a Dick: A Guide for Writing Fictional Sleuths from a Couple of Real-Life Sleuths" ? if yes then kindly share it with me
