Stalkers can cause innocent, vulnerable people so much damage and harm. For a variety of reasons, these perpetrators begin following and indeed stalking others. There are many reasons and motivations these have for doing so, and the ways in which they conduct their heinous, deleterious crimes can vary widely. When these criminals strike, our stalker private investigators are ready and willing to deploy countermeasures aimed at striking those snakes at their heads and protecting our clients.
Everyone would agree that stalkers tend to suffer from a variety of mental health disorders. Psychologists note that these tend to include, but are not limited to, the following:
As you can clearly see, there are plenty of underlying reasons why some people begin stalking others. Indeed, all human behavior is a combination of genetics, learned behavior, & trauma responses, whether good or bad. Regardless, stalking others is both illegal and immoral, and the pain, trauma, and sometimes death that results is preventable.
Psychologists and criminologists alike agree that stalkers have different motivations for criminally pursuing their stalking victims. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Some people have a very unhealthy need for power and control. These individuals will sometimes stalk individuals as their prey and will seek to instill fear and intimidate them. When these individuals begin pursuing their victims in a game of cat-and-mouse, it can quickly turn dangerous and even deadly.
Our predator private investigator has seen countless stalking victims succumb to truly terrible deaths. This is why it is crucial for victims of stalking to hire skip tracers and digital private detectives to help them uncover the identity of their stalkers, if unknown, and help protect them. Otherwise, these victims could sadly become additional murder statistics.
When relationships fail as they often seem to do, some people will seek to convince their ex-partners to stay in the relationship even when their former spouses or significant others do not want to. These people become predators, seeking to “win back” the people they claim to love and still have feelings for. The problem with this motivation for stalking – though no motivation is ever okay – is that it ignores the person’s basic boundaries and disrespects the wishes of the other party. This is never acceptable, and our sexual predator private detective can help stop these individuals from ruining the other person’s life.
Some stalkers truly feel lonely and are seeking intimacy they do not have. These perpetrators turn to stalking their victims in the hope that their intended targets will somehow “understand” and will “see the light” and will wish to pursue a relationship with their abuser. If only they can follow, pursue, and not have their victims view them as creepy, then the perpetrators will no longer feel lonely. Unfortunately, their behavior is not only immoral and illegal, but also extremely creepy and their victims never come around and “magically” want to be with them.
These delusional individuals have no real idea about how relationships work and mistakenly believe that if they are creepy and pursue their victims that they will somehow fall in love with their stalkers. They may be lonely, as we discussed above, or they may have other nefarious reasons.
Revenge stalkers are angry, vindictive, revenge-based people with an axe to grind. Their anger, hatred, and the feeling that their victims have terribly wronged them in some way drives their actions. The “offenses” the victim allegedly committed against the stalker might be real or fabricated. Our stalker private investigators note that these people can be extremely dangerous and might even seek to harm or murder their victims.
There are some definite red flags of stalking behaviors that our digital private investigators insist people must never ignore. These are some distinct, toxic, harmful red flags that some people might not even realize or understand as stalking. These types of behaviors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Our criminal private investigator notes that many stalkers engage in activities like spying, watching their victims from afar or even peeping into their windows as they undress, and placing unlawful tracking devices onto their vehicles. These are all controlling behaviors, and they are meant to dominate, intimidate, and control their victims.
Our stalking private detective notes that another red flag of stalking behaviors includes vandalism. Destruction of the victim’s property is a huge boundary violation and is yet another form of violence against the perpetrator’s victim. Our social media private investigators note that they have pulled up numerous examples of evidence they found online where stalkers had posted photos of their victims’ property they had destroyed.
Some stalkers also send their victims unwanted gifts, believing that doing so will somehow coerce or magically change the victim’s thinking into wanting a relationship with the stalker. This is yet another form of psychological abuse that our psychopath private investigator states is a clear red flag for abuse.
Some stalkers will also reach out to the friends and family members of their victims. They may ask them to relay messages or may outright harass them or do other inappropriate things. Some stalkers even start having sex with their victims’ friends and family members “because they can,” to instill jealousy or to “drive their point home.” Our sociopath private detective states this is a serious red flag and is highly manipulative and controlling.
When anyone makes threats to harm their victims, the person’s family members and/or friends, or their human victim’s cats, dogs, and birds, etc., the victim must take swift action. Victim protection orders, criminal charges, changing phone numbers and e-mail information, etc., might be steps they need to take. Victims must take these kinds of toxic, dangerous behaviors seriously, making reports to law enforcement and should even consider hiring bodyguards and countersurveillance private investigators for extra support and guidance.
Some perpetrators of stalking are incredibly determined and do not understand and/or care about boundaries. Thus, even when their victims change their phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and social media accounts or block out their stalkers from accessing them, the perpetrators may just choose to create new phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and social media accounts through which they may continue contacting their victims.
To locate their victims’ new phone numbers, residential addresses, e-mail addresses, and social media accounts, some stalkers may hire licensed private investigators to run skip trace services and do other tasks. This is why private eyes must take great caution in whom they help locate missing people, because their clients might be stalkers seeking to engage in stalking behaviors or even rape and murder! Thus, skip tracing, social media scans, and surveillance can easily become tools for harassment and destruction.
This constant harassment is very toxic and causes stalking victims to become afraid and anxious. If left unchecked, some stalkers proceed to even more terrible actions like rape and murder. Victims must always remain vigilant and should set firm boundaries, never giving into a stalker’s demands or deleterious behaviors.
Some stalkers will begin to make up heinous lies about their stalking victims, just as Rachel Lee Whalen, a.k.a. Grayson Lee Whalen, in Stillwater and Edmond, Oklahoma did when her ex, Dr. Makayla Saramosing, broke up with her because she was mean and hateful. Rachel made all kinds of insane claims against her ex-girlfriend, falsely telling others on social media that she had, “. . . slashed her bicycle tires” and even made false reports of heinous assaults to the Edmond Police Department in Oklahoma. The trauma caused Dr. Makayla so much stress and heartache.
Insane sociopaths like this do exist in society, and they live right among us. Knowing who they are and recognizing the signs early are key to staying safe. Seeking help from courts and hiring victim protection attorneys to help keep these stalking psychos at safer distances is key. Fortunately, Rachel finally moved on and found someone else she married and terrorized.
Our private investigation agency in OKC has multiple legal tactics like skip tracing and social media scans that our stalking private detectives use on a regular basis to help combat stalkers and their behaviors. A listing of the best and most effective legal strategies we use include, but are not limited to, the following:
It is vital for stalking victims to change their phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and to block out access to their social media from outside viewers. Even when doing this, a skilled predator can still use spoofing apps and hire a private eye to do a skip trace to find a victim’s personal contact information. Thus, stalking victims should seek unregistered phone numbers and e-mail addresses that public databases cannot trace back to them and thus unintentionally expose them to harm.
Stalking victims must also limit the amount of public sharing they offer to the world online, as doing so could also expose them to danger. Indeed, our child predator private investigators note that even little kids risk exposing all their personal information to evil people online, such as their location, date of birth, name, lists of their family members and friends, and more. This amount of exposed data is what some stalkers refer to as a smorgasbord.
Another key aspect of dealing with stalkers involves instances where the victim contacts private investigation agencies and asks them not to assist anyone who might call them asking for help with skip tracing services. Though covering many PI agencies could prove time consuming, it still has the potential to help.
The only downside to this strategy is that your stalker could still use a lower-grade nationwide skip tracing service. While these online services are cheaper and widely available, they do have much higher rates of providing old, outdated information. Even so, your stalker might luck out and find a skip trace website that can locate you even if you call the private eyes in the area and ask them not to.
For people with financial means, it might help to locate the best bodyguard service and ask them to provide protection and security for the victim. This expense can add up quickly though, so it is best to reserve this for extreme situations, people with plenty of extra cash on hand, and for resource efficiency purposes, it is important to target the most dangerous times/dates/locations.
Victim protection orders can offer stalking victims some level of protection, though many people criticize them for being, “. . . worthless pieces of paper only good for wiping one’s ass.” Nevertheless, they help set clear boundaries and expectations for behavior the predator must follow. Otherwise, police and prosecutors can impose criminal sanctions and make arrests if further bad acts happen.
Stalking victims can also hire civil attorneys to help file and present victim protection order claims to judges. They can also file civil lawsuits for damages against stalkers for the egregious harm they have caused. Attorneys can indeed be extremely powerful allies in the fight for safety, for those who can afford their often-expensive legal services.
Filing police complaints about stalking behaviors and other violence often precedes the victim protection order paperwork. They are often the first steps in the documentation process and help leave a vital paper trail for further legal action.
Our private detective that does stalking private investigations insists that CCTV should always be one of many vital components for preventing additional stalking and violence. Our criminal private detective notes that capturing stalkers on video while they are engaging in stalking behaviors is just the kind of evidence that law enforcement officers and judges need to make arrests and issue victim protection orders. Indeed, both victims and their legal teams must always document every illegal action as much as possible.
Some stalkers will add tracking device apps and will hide bugs, video cameras, and audio recording devices on the phones, computers, and in the homes, offices, vehicles of their victims. Our digital private detective can come to your home and conduct digital private investigations for you by sweeping all your electronic devices and personal spaces. That way if the perpetrator has left any spying devices to track you with, we can locate and remove them. This will not only make our clients safer; it will also grant stalking victims more peace of mind.
Dash cameras for vehicles are another often-overlooked safety device for both recording what happened during automobile accidents and for helping to document when people follow stalking victims and/or damage their vehicles. Our social media scan private detective notes that just as people in these situations must protect their homes, computers, phones, and offices, so, too must they protect their vehicles. Dash cameras for cars, trucks, and SUVs are a vital component in protecting oneself from perpetrators of stalking.
Another important thing for everyone, not just stalking victims, to do is to share their location with their loved ones. This lets others like close family members and friends know where they are in case something bad happens. From car accidents to inclement weather and kidnappings/murders/rapes, sharing location information helps these loved ones know where they are in case something bad happens.
Indeed, frequent check-ins even with location sharing can also add additional benefits, because our digital private investigators note that this is another way to alert loved ones that something may be wrong. If the person fails to check in at the designated time, then it would trigger the other family members and loved ones to do so because something may have gone seriously wrong.
As we have discussed earlier, our legal team has several options at their disposal to help fight against stalkers. Other than what we suggested above, our private investigation agency also recommends several additional services to help victims of stalking catch their predators in the act. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Skip tracing is perfect for tracking down someone’s information and identifying who it is who is calling, texting, e-mailing, or following you in her/his/their vehicle. You can hire us to take the person’s phone number, e-mail address, or license plate, and we can help identify the person for you. Of course, the telephone numbers and e-mail addresses must be registered, and the license plate must not be stolen for it to work.
A skip trace service is inexpensive, and our team can usually complete it the same day or within twenty-four hours after receiving payment and information about the POI. This is one of many tools we have in our repertoire to combat these fiends.
Social media scans are also a great way to identify stalkers, compile criminal profiles on them, and potentially discover additional victims. This service does a deep dive into social media profiles and other internet sites to see what they say about the POI. Social media scans take longer to complete and cost more than a skip trace does, but they complement them greatly and can really help our private investigation team tell a lot more about an individual. These come in three levels with varying costs, and they even have the potential to pull up jailhouse booking photos!
As you can see, skip traces and social media scans can help during stalking private investigations. We also offer other services, such as license plate checks, surveillance private investigations, bodyguard services, forwarding mail checks, post office box checks, process serving, and much more.
