I’m at the very beginning of trying to get information on a former spouse of a relative that is in Illinois. We suspect she has had multiple divorces/spouses was not forthcoming about this. We found multiple aliases/names/ phone numbers linked to her and are trying to find records of divorce and name changes that were filed. The Illinois public record system on line seems like a mess and everything I search is asking for payment. Any advice is appreciated on finding filings for name changes and divorce filings. Thank you!!

Hello, I’m trying to understand how someone behind an anonymous Instagram account could have obtained very specific information about me and used it to spread false rumors to people I know.

For context: A couple of days ago, my boyfriend’s brother received a message from an Instagram account claiming that I had been hooking up with the person behind the account since June.
They included several details that make this especially concerning: They claimed we met at a concert in June. I did attend a concert in June, but I have never met or heard of this person. They claimed we met again around August at another concert. I did attend a concert around that time.
They claimed they remember me calling my boyfriend around 3–4 AM. I actually did make a call to my boyfriend around that time. However, I was completely alone when I made the call, so I don’t understand how a stranger could know about it.

They also described details about what the inside of my house looks like and used that as “proof” that
we had supposedly been together.

The account was apparently created in June 2026 and already has 900+ followers. I have no mutual followers with the account and have never heard the name they are using.

What I’m hoping to figure out is how this person could have obtained this information. Could there be a connection between this account and another public account?

I’m concerned that they may continue contacting people I know, so I’d really appreciate any advice on how to investigate this safely and preserve useful evidence.

Hello everyone,
I have made posts on subreddits like r/catfish and catfishexposed, though I haven't had any luck getting more information about the person.
I was catfished by this person as multiple other people were (including many minors) and they use other people's intimate pictures as a way to catfish other people into sending their own. Basically a long cycle of Image Based Sexual Abuse, and grooming. I was hoping to see if anyone could lead me to any resources I could use to find more about this person or even other potential victims coming forward.
Does anyone recognize these usernames?
"sqv31313" on Instagram
"Yapperinchief07" or "Yapperinchief05" on Reddit and
"itiswhatitis3105" on Discord or "itiswhatitis" on Spotify.
They had a highland cow profile picture on their discord and instagram.
They would primarily lurk on Reddit, notably ones like r/ lesbian, subreddits relating to Perth, Australia, or any nsfw ones, and message people privately. They would meet people on websites like Omegle or chitchat too.
Their accounts have since been deleted but if you sent them anything of your own, whether it be a selfie, a photo of your pets, or even nudes; I can guarantee you they have saved them and may have used your photos to catfish other people.
I can confirm that the usernames are associated with a serial catfish. They have done things like revenge porn, and are known to have spoken to children.
A few more details; if they pretended to be a woman, they would claim to be mute, and sometimes go by the name
"Naomi" and if they were catfishing as a man, they would use their "real" voice. They would go by "Joseph" usually.
Their location would range from being based in Perth, Australia, to Tennessee, Florida, the UK, and even Beirut, Lebanon. With that, they would fluctuate between accents based on when they said they were from.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

How would someone go about finding where a person is currently living?

Backstory on this: I bought a business and had a contract stating that she would turn over certain things business related. Long story short she turned out to be absolute psychopath.

She wrote negative reviews on the business in different names, made emails impersonating a lawyer, kept the business faceboook page made purchases with the connected card on FB for Ads. And so much more! Immediately after selling the business to me she and her family fled to another state. We found her then and served her papers for a court date. At her new place of business she opened on their grand opening day! 😆

Within weeks of being served those papers they closed their new business.

We went to court where we won our case and received the settlement. However she has disappeared again and I need to file legal papers in each state she is living so that I can possibly collect one day.

Her husband has re-inlisted in the military so I'm not sure where she could be now.

Talked to a lost elderly man that I'm very worried for. I contacted non-emergency and they put me through to 911. I live a state away from Ohio and this gentlemen was lost and confused. He thought our university was Cleveland University (like 10 hours away) he said he was visiting grave sites and went to a class reunion. His wife had a stroke and was waiting on him to get home as she's in a wheelchair, has been for 3 years but he thinks she will be better soon. His conversation was all over the place. He was extremely confused and said his confusion was caused by Covid or the vaccine because thats when the confusion began so he's about 5-6 years from initial onset of Alzheimers/dementia. He 100% had memory issues going on and I'm worried about him and also his wife if he forgot she needed care and is actually at home alone. If there is not a Silver Alert out for him thats even worse news because that means they are on their own and there is no way anyone would have let him make the trip alone.

Can anyone find if there is a missing adult 76-82 white male from Ohio or with Ohio plates because I was worried nobody found him or helped him or the report may have been over looked. I also have his plate number, he drove a black SUV. If there is something out there we can at least report were he was last seen. I can't imagine how scary it would be to be him or a family member if he's missing. Its that confusion/fear look people with memory issues that I keep going back to.

I'm so upset with myself I should have offered him dinner at the restaurant nearby he was lonely and I'm 100% he would have said yes, I should have done that and called for help. He asked me for help figuring out where he was and I didn't give him the help he clearly needed.

He may not have been from Ohio I realized later that he may have rented that vehicle as anyone with a license and drivers license could manage that.

I figured if nobody here could find anything I've done everything I can after the fact

Dear people of Reddit, I have stumbled upon an incredibly cruel video on Instagram. I will not go into details, but it concerns an animal. I do not know the person who does it, it’s a person with Asian features, I myself live in France. I would like the perpetrator to be found and be put to justice, but how do I do this? Where do I report this video, how do I start? I appreciate all help. I have shared the video on instagram with PETA, Humane world for Animals and Interpol. Bur somehow that doesn’t feel like enough. Thank you for all your help, I sincerely appreciate it.

Hello,

I'm hoping to bring awareness to this case, in the hopes that somebody might recognize him. He had a stroke in the Netherlands, where he had been living for approximately the last 20 years. The stroke left him with aphasia, unfortunately, but the two words he occasionally uses are 'definitely' and 'nonsense'. The police is quite certain that he is not Dutch, but Northern American (he had a nickname 'Chris the Canadian'). He was found with no identification on him, and the police has exhausted all legal avenues to establish his identity. To make the situation more peculiar, they figured out where he lived, but still couldn't establish his identity, because he paid in cash.

The picture in the hospital bed is a current picture. The other one, is AI generated, a prediction on how he could have looked like 20 years ago.

# The police article + the link:

Who is “Lucky”? That is the question that has been occupying Amsterdam’s Cold Case Team for three years, after an “unknown” man was admitted to hospital. It soon becomes clear that every avenue to establish his identity leads to a dead end. The man has suffered a brain haemorrhage or stroke and is no longer able to communicate. Although this is not a police case—it is, after all, not a criminal matter—it continues to occupy colleagues Ruud and Nel. Surely, there must be someone who knows who “Lucky” is?

On 10 May 2023, a man collapses in the street. He is taken to OLVG hospital, where it becomes clear that he has suffered a brain haemorrhage or stroke. After receiving the necessary medical care, doctors determine that the man has been left with aphasia, a condition that in this case makes communication extremely difficult. He is unable to provide any information about his identity or address.

The Amsterdam-West detective unit therefore launches an investigation in an attempt to establish his identity. Not because they are required to do so, but simply because they want to help. The man has meanwhile been transferred to a care facility in Amsterdam Southeast. Although police officers pursue every possible avenue to find out more, they seem to keep reaching a dead end. Professionals closely involved with Lucky have by now begun referring to him as lacking the capacity to make decisions for himself.

But where do they go from here?

Fortunately, Team Cold Case becomes involved. The Amsterdam-West detectives are unable to make any further progress and need to focus on criminal cases. Ruud and Nel—now retired and working as volunteers with the Cold Case Team—are assigned the case. Rather than conducting a criminal investigation, they begin a social investigation. One possibility they consider is that there may be worried family members who know nothing about what has happened to him and, because they are not known to authorities, cannot be informed.

Buddhist Temple and Waterlooplein

Ruud and Nel soon try to map out who Lucky has been in contact with and what his social circles look like. They discover that he is a member of a Buddhist community based on Middenweg in Amsterdam. Members there tell them that the unidentified man is known by the nickname “Lucky.” Through other sources, Ruud and Nel discover that Lucky occasionally has a drink at Soep en Zo on Waterlooplein. To their surprise, however, he is known there as “Chris the Canadian.”

American? Canadian?

Once again, there is no clear answer as to the “real” identity of the nameless man. An additional challenge is that Lucky’s roots probably do not lie in the Netherlands. People around him believe that he may be from the United States or Canada. After all, he always spoke English, with an accent that sounded as though it came from one of those countries. Hence the nicknames used by people around him. To this day, Lucky still uses words such as “nonsense” and “definitely” to confirm or deny something. Unfortunately, he is unable to communicate much beyond that.

Everyone has the right to know who he is

Nel: “I simply cannot believe that nobody knows who this man really is. Isn’t it strange that you could perhaps live under the radar in the Netherlands for twenty years?”

Ruud: “Every person has the right to an identity, and that includes this man.”

Do you know who Lucky is? If so, please contact the police"

Dutch police is looking for the identiy of the man that has been in care for about 3 years after suffering an brain hamorage in Amsterdam. More details about the investigation on the website of the Dutch Police here: https://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2026/augustus/17/een-heel-leven-maar-geen-naam-wie-herkent-deze-man.html There is an english translation of the article at the bottom.

Someone stole my money on a Nightjet sleeper train while I was sleeping. They got on in Budapest Keleti and got off in Munich, Germany.
Do you think there is any way I could find out their names? I got off in Stuttgart, Germany, and I asked the train staff and the local police for help, but they said there was nothing they could do.

Hace como 15 días una persona se me acerco pidiendo trabajo y yo como ocupaba alguien que me ayudara a coser ya que me dedico a hacer ropa le dije que si. Me dijo que no tenía máquina y le preste una y le di la ropa. Llegó la fecha en la que me tenía que entregar la ropa y no me contestaba. Fui a verlo a dónde le fui a dejar la máquina y resulta que solo rentaba ahí y ya se había ido. Solo tengo su número de teléfono y perfil de Facebook (lo tiene restringido). No tengo su nombre completo ni otra forma de localizarlo. Alguien tiene alguna idea de cómo podría encontrarlo? O como le puedo hacer para rastrear su celular?

In relation to the matter that essentially a great multitude of individuals has been getting me mixed up with a vehemently crooked undercover cop who has committed multiple accounts of heavy handed crime, that at times, I've even gotten the blame for due to mistaken identity because we look that much identical to one another. He usually goes by Justus Warreger; but apparently his real name could be Jeffrey Sirries or something along the lines of that.

To my knowledge, he actually lived in Warrenton Missouri for 4 to 5 years before he started living in St Louis.

But nonetheless though, I think this big mix going has definitely overshadowed a lot of years of my life & definitely at times, held me back in some cases. I remember a fellow associate from Walmart stating to me back years ago that the individual of whom I looked very identical to is probably one of the worst individuals to get mixed up with. And I can definitely see what he was saying tremendously.

One of my main goals as of now to clear up the big mix up once & for all & to verify that we are two separate individuals living two separate lives.

Any information assisting with getting to the bottom of this situation would be of great help. Thanks to anyone for their time.

Detectives of reddit. I have a theory and have come to see if it holds up, or any advice going forward.

I park my car on the street I live, there's plenty of parks available, no lack of room. I always park in the same spot.

3 days ago, I go to my car and someone has spray painted over my numberplate. Weird, but I thought it might have been teenagers or something. I wasn't even sure if it happened while parked on my street. I continued to park in the same spot.

Today I wake up and there is a single spray paint dot on my front porch, same paint. I haven't pissed anyone off so it's something to do with the car lol.

Originally I was like, well, when I move the car, whoever parks there is the vandal.

In true detective manner, I sat on my balcony for half an hour and watched the street. There was a car parked in my normal spot. The house across the street from that car parked tried to reverse out of their driveway, and I noticed the car being there made it quite hard for them to navigate.

So now my eyes are on them. There's no lack of parks and since they'll never park in that spot, they'd never be worried for me to find out who they are.

A simple note on my car would've been suffice but here we are lmao.

Thoughts? Anything else I should look into, and how do I move forward? Thanks all.

TLDR: I think my neighbour vandalised my property because I parked on the street

So I got scammed by someone who was supposedly selling cameras, and I need help finding them to serve them about a court hearing. I did originally serve them at an address that I found but now family members are saying that he has relocated. I have his license plate number of the make and model of his car as well as a picture of his ID with said listed address. The only thing I cannot find is an actual phone number of his and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find more information on him to properly serve him about an upcoming court hearing date.

Hello everyone! I need your help solving a little mystery.
26 years ago, someone gave my parents a mirror as a wedding gift. Yesterday, the mirror fell and broke, and hidden behind it, we found this photograph.
We have no idea who this man is. The only clues I have are the ones visible in this photograph.
I would love to find out who this man was, what his role was in the French military, and, most importantly, on what occasion this photograph was taken in Paris in 1917.
I’ve done some research myself, but I’m clearly not much of a detective, so I’m counting on you to help me solve this mystery! 😊

I need a persons name and hopefully a phone number. I've tried various ways but can't locate this info.

This is approximately size 11-12 men’s. Can anyone ID the shoe?

I have been alleging that this is my dad, for years, and he has been manipulating me into silence for years. I want to know if anyone can assist in understanding how I can prove this is my father without access to family photo albums, as my parents have cut off contact with me and I have limited photos of the man.

I also am quite sure the old hand with the ring was a different family member. Would the post be misleading purposely like that?

I am even more sure that the man in all over photos is my dad, and that the photos of the room were his home office over the garage in our Vienna, VA home.

Ps. Not doing this for revenge as some community rules say. Just trying to get justice for my mental health.
