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

Let’s say you meet someone who claims to be an author to your favorite web novel, but you have a hard time believing it, or rather you couldn’t. And what if there was a second person who also claims to be the author, what would they have to say or do to make you believe them? I mean if one was like your childhood friend then maybe you’d find it believable.

Je me suis faite arnaquer de 250€ par quelqu’un et j’ai uniquement son numéro de téléphone pouvez-vous m’aider à trouver ses informations personnelles ?

Figured I ask.

I got these images a few days ago and have been consumed by curiosity! A friend of a friend claimed her place was robbed (Instagram post to close friends). She isn't the type to commit insurance fraud, but the photos just seem off. How do you think this metal bar was cut, do you think it could have been done quietly, and does it seem real to you?

Here are my puzzles

I created a different posts some people getting pressed in the comments and others encouraging me. I do now understand an independent detective isn’t necessarily a thing. But I wanna thank the people who encouraged me to keep looking into other stuff. Like: international consulting detective. Which I realized that’s what I’ve been meaning, and now it’s completely clearer to me now. So thanks to those who still helped and encouraged me even though I’m just a high school student still learning. Also any new information or facts would be very appreciated and helpful 🙏

Someone that knows me is contacting me through iMessage, I reverse searched multiple phone numbers they contacted me through to find they came from different places in the U.S. This was about a month after the fact I realized. The only reason I didn’t do it sooner was because they were impersonating someone I knew. The chat bubbles were green so it wasn’t an apple product. And after a certain time period it seemed they made a new number to contact me through as if the last one stopped working.

How would I start? I’m in high school have been thinking about my future career for years and decided I just wanna solve crimes/help but also do it all independently unless I’m asked for help or if I need help. But how and where do I start?

I’ve decided that the only thing that matters is to pursue a career that’s active. Something with responsibility that forces me to become more. If there’s any actual detectives lurking in here, I’d really appreciate any and all reading recommendations. Maybe some tips or advice for how you all got into becoming detectives in the first place would also be appreciated.
