Just a couple of hints at who I think it could be, not names yet because there is a presumption of innocence. I guess it’s a good sign that I had to think really hard to come up with 3 people who even possibly might be this disturbed, this stupid, this hateful and this jealous.
Suspect 1 is creepy enough, he was forced to resign from the New Castle County police or face charges because he was stalking a woman and had – from what other cops tell me repeated instances of this kind of thing. Almost every woman I know thinks he’s a creeper other than one or two whom he has fooled. It’s a disgrace to the uniform how he still uses the cop thing to give himself legitimacy with people, and how he tells them he retired which is a lie.
As for motive, I always seemed to get along fine with him and we were FB friends and friendly on the rare occasions we’d see each other. The he blocked me on Facebook and I really never knew why, nothing happened. It took me months to even notice that he did it. Then I forgot about him entirely, until last year he made the mistake of telling my good friend a bunch of crazy ass lies about me – one which was that I was a “stalker” – which is a total lie and pretty ironic considering that he was fired for stalking.
My boys always called him the Village People Cop before he got fired, as do a lot of women I know too, Personally, I don’t think it’s him but I suppose it’s possible – I wouldn’t have dreamed he’d pop up and start lying about me last year out the blue for absolutely no reason either — but he did.
People are strange.
Suspect No. 2 is someone I also don’t know well or long, but gave the appearance of always being benign and a friend like No. 1. I’ve patronized his business many times, promoted it, recommended it, and never was aware of any issue.
Interestingly, at almost EXACTLY the same time that the first hate account was created, he had become irrationally angry at me because I took offense to a comment he made on a photo of my daughter and I. He doesn’t have kids and I didn’t expect him to understand why you don’t make dick-type comments on a photo of a man and his daughter, but I did expect a basic apology – not anger and defensiveness, which is what I got instead.
Someone forwarded me a PM he sent them shortly after saying ‘fuck him’ and what an ‘asshole’ I was etc, which was eye-opening. I had no idea he was still angry over that incident, I had forgotten about it already and moved on. Then, multiple people who know him began to come to me and tell me how he used to “obsess” – they ALL used that word “obsess” – about his ridiculous theory that a girl I casually dated over a few years was “fake.” They all told me he just would not let it go, and was always talking about it to them. That is really creepy, and it’s also clearly not the kind of fake person you need as a “friend.”
Not sure if it’s this guy either, but I would not be surprised given the above. Clearly, the stalker has a high level of obsession and anger with me that just isn’t rational at that level of intensity – both of which are characteristics they seem to share.
