I just want to know who it is Not everybody wants police intervention. I understand this. Some people just want to know who it is that is harassing them. I had a case where an elderly lady reported that someone keeps calling her at 3:00 a.m. everyday and waking her up. When she answers, all she hears is a loud squeal, she figured it was a fax machine. Her caller ID gave the number which she didn't recognize and she didn't know anybody in that area code. When she recalled the number it was answered with the same loud squeal. She didn't think anybody was intentionally harassing her, but it still bothered her to be awakened every morning. I agreed with her that it sounded like a fax machine and probably was not intentional. If I was investigating a crime, I would have to use the methods that are recognized by the court to gather evidence, namely subpoenas. Since she didn't think anybody was intentionally harassing her, I was free to use unconventional, easier, and cheaper methods to find out who was calling her. I went to the internet and typed in "reverse phone search". Many website listings came up that said they could perform this function. By typing in the phone number on one of the websites, it responded that they could tell me the the name and address of the owner as well as the phone company which provides the service. They would give me this for a small fee.  As a career government employee I don't advocate spending my own money to solve other peoples problems, but it seemed a small amount to pay to have the info immediately rather then filling out the forms necessary to use the department's credit card. I got the info, it turns out that it was an insurance company. Now that I knew the company name and address I called directory assistance and got their main number.  I called the company and learned that they send a daily report out to over a hundred offices nationwide. Someone had entered one of the office's phone number incorrectly and since it was an automated system, my lady was going to be getting those wake-up calls forever. The lady I spoke to at the insurance company was very helpful and deleted the phone number immediately. I called my lady and told her that I had taken care of it and that the insurance company apologized for waking her up everyday. I never heard from her again, so I assume the calls stopped. The point is, if you have internet access, which you obviously do since you're reading this, you have access to a world of information if you will take the time to figure out how to access it. If you don't want the police to get involved, then figure it out, for a few dollars you can find out a lot. The police do the same thing when looking for a bad guy. We start with the police databases, which you can't access, but if that fails we simply type the persons name into the "search" on the internet.  The internet gives  us more info than  we could find  in police databases. Some info is free but some websites offer to sell you additional info for a price. While your at it, type in your own name and see what info is available on yourself. If you have a stalker, he probably already has done this and knows everything about you that is available on the internet.  If you  know  what he knows, you can make changes to  throw him off. A website I found that can give you info on phone numbers, email addresses, and people searches is: search phone, email, people
