What is the name of your state? Washington
Alright, this is a bit of a weird story. Before my wife and I got married some 5.5 years ago, she and I met online in a chat room. At that time there were of course many people we both spoke with, and one such person (a guy from CA) developed this obsession with my wife (then GF) and decided he wanted to meet her. My wife didn't much like that idea, and at the time he tried to convince her that he was a good person and trustworthy by voluntarily sending her all his personal information (names, address, SS#, names of parents and what not). She still didn't want to meet him but he finally ended up showing up at her work one day (and got promptly escorted away by armed security guards). Anyway, he developed some big crush on her. I finally told him off and to stay away, after which we didn't see much of him.
Now fast forward to about a year ago. I start receiving weird anonymous e-mails from some person who doesn't want to identify themselves, and it starts getting ugly pretty quick, and finally he identifies himself as being the stalker guy from years ago. I tell him once again to stay away, and if he doesn't I will do whatever is in my power to try and find any of his info in old chat logs and what not and send it to the police. Now, keep in mind, I have never laid eyes on this elusive file with personal information he once sent my wife. I wish I had - it would've been in the cops' hands a long time ago.
Now he's once again returned claiming that he's going to need some sort of notarized contract that we (I) don't have any of this information, or if we do, that it'll be destroyed, and that if we don't he's going to send my personal information to the FBI along with a note that I supposedly stole his identity.
Oh, he has also been harassing other (online) friends of ours with similar "I know you but you don't know me" and "I will always be here lurking, tracking any information I can gather about you" e-mails and messages.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? We went to the local police to file a report about a month ago. The cop laughed about this guy's intent to frame me for ID theft, since he has openly admitted (in writing) to voluntarily handing over this information to my wife in the first place. Also, there is no proof that we (I) ever did anything with this information of his.
The police also did surprisingly little about this whole ordeal. With as much as stalking is supposed to be a very punishable act, it seems they never do anything until someone gets hurt.
I have no intention of signing any document of his. I am thinking he doesn't have much of a case, since there's no proof I ever did anything with his info, or that I ever saw it in the first place. However, I still want to know if there's anything I can do to prevent some potentially bad stuff from happening if some prosecutor takes his claim seriously?
