I need help hunting someone down

[djsadiablo]

For several years now my family has had a stalker. This fucker sends viscous letters, emails, phone calls, the works. It mostly centers around my dad. I have only ever received two pieces of mail from this fucker. I took the letter he sent me to a friend of my that was a cop. He had it dusted for prints and found nothing. But now this dumbass sent me an email. He also recently called my grandma claiming to be me. I want to find this fucker really bad. I know that emails can be traced but I have no idea how to do this. I'm getting married and having a baby soon so I would like to resolve this (ie find him and hospitalize him) soon. If anyone could help me that would be awesome.

cant you do the call feature where it traces the phone number? if you do it three times and its the same phone number, the telephone company is notified and the authorities become involved. yea, maybe hes using a pay phone, etc.. but its worth a shot. you cant see what the number is, though.. but it does get traced.

Assuming you're using a non-web based email program, you can check the detailed header of the message (file > properties in Outlook) to see what servers it originated from. You can then notify the service provider that this person is harassing you, and ask them to send the person's account information to the fuzz.

sounds like you need to get involved in your local h/p scene.....

2600 meetings at washington state convention center at 6 pm on the first friday of every month, maybe they will help out.

or call a private detective...

but, whenever you do find out who it is, don't kick his ass, play his game, be better at it.. http://phonelosers.org/issue/pla003.html

Well im guessing your using Windows so download NMapWin.exe
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ and Netcat.exe http://packetstormsecurity.org/UNIX/netcat/nc110.tgz
These two programs working together will let you intercept and scan packets letting you find city and state and IP number.
Once you have the IP find a program called NeoTrace and run the number whice will give you location of origin for the packets (his house)
As well as tons of info on his ISP so you can report him.
If you cant find the Trace program do as said and visit a 2600 meeting and tell them your problem or PM me if you need the help and i'll try and find it.
If he is useing a library computer your burnt though.

Unless he actually purchased his OWN IP block under his own name (almost unheard of, unless he's a webmaster or net admin) then network tracing tools will only get you as far as his ISP. If he did own his own IP, you could in theory look him up on the ARIN registry. But that's unlikely.
But once you know his ISP, you could have a court subpoena his identity from the ISP, I suppose... or get on the 1337 h4x0rz at your local 2600 meeting to steal the info from the ISP. right.

Well, your RCW says:
(1) A person commits the crime of stalking if, without lawful authority and under circumstances not amounting to a felony attempt of another crime:

(a) He or she intentionally and repeatedly harasses or repeatedly follows another person; and

(b) The person being harassed or followed is placed in fear that the stalker intends to injure the person, another person, or property of the person or of another person. The feeling of fear must be one that a reasonable person in the same situation would experience under all the circumstances; and

(c) The stalker either:

(i) Intends to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person; or

(ii) Knows or reasonably should know that the person is afraid, intimidated, or harassed even if the stalker did not intend to place the person in fear or intimidate or harass the person.

(2)(a) It is not a defense to the crime of stalking under subsection (1)(c)(i) of this section that the stalker was not given actual notice that the person did not want the stalker to contact or follow the person; and

(b) It is not a defense to the crime of stalking under subsection (1)(c)(ii) of this section that the stalker did not intend to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person.

(3) It shall be a defense to the crime of stalking that the defendant is a licensed private investigator acting within the capacity of his or her license as provided by chapter 18.165 RCW.

(4) Attempts to contact or follow the person after being given actual notice that the person does not want to be contacted or followed constitutes prima facie evidence that the stalker intends to intimidate or harass the person. "Contact" includes, in addition to any other form of contact or communication, the sending of an electronic communication to the person.

(5) A person who stalks another person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor except that the person is guilty of a class C felony if any of the following applies: (a) The stalker has previously been convicted in this state or any other state of any crime of harassment, as defined in RCW 9A.46.060, of the same victim or members of the victim's family or household or any person specifically named in a protective order; (b) the stalking violates any protective order protecting the person being stalked; (c) the stalker has previously been convicted of a gross misdemeanor or felony stalking offense under this section for stalking another person; (d) the stalker was armed with a deadly weapon, as defined in *RCW 9.94A.602, while stalking the person; (e) the stalker's victim is or was a law enforcement officer, judge, juror, attorney, victim advocate, legislator, or community correction's officer, and the stalker stalked the victim to retaliate against the victim for an act the victim performed during the course of official duties or to influence the victim's performance of official duties; or (f) the stalker's victim is a current, former, or prospective witness in an adjudicative proceeding, and the stalker stalked the victim to retaliate against the victim as a result of the victim's testimony or potential testimony.

(6) As used in this section:

(a) "Follows" means deliberately maintaining visual or physical proximity to a specific person over a period of time. A finding that the alleged stalker repeatedly and deliberately appears at the person's home, school, place of employment, business, or any other location to maintain visual or physical proximity to the person is sufficient to find that the alleged stalker follows the person. It is not necessary to establish that the alleged stalker follows the person while in transit from one location to another.

(b) "Harasses" means unlawful harassment as defined in RCW 10.14.020.

(c) "Protective order" means any temporary or permanent court order prohibiting or limiting violence against, harassment of, contact or communication with, or physical proximity to another person.

(d) "Repeatedly" means on two or more separate occasions.

So, have a criminal complaint filed. Let the popos do the investigative part. You don't say whether you know who this person is. If you do, or when you find out, you can also have a court-ordered stalking protective order served on him. Violations are mandatory jail.
