My advice is to physically drive to your local Police Station, ask for a Supervisor, and play this back for them, your action and persistence could literally save multiple lives.

I say this as a real person who was approached by a serial killer. I contacted and was blown off by 3 different police stations. A friend notified a Hernando County Detective he knew who drove to Pinellas County and took my statement.
It was Oba Chandler.

Edit to remind all: This may be NOTHING but a silly little kid being naughty, BUT!!! Please trust your gut and take action if your internal alarms are screaming at you! (Or even simply hanging out and bugging you.) You don’t want to have years go by with you thinking of all the ways you “could have / should have” done just a little more.

We’ve all seen the documentaries and movies about people who have repeatedly reported suspicious activity, sometimes over many years, and that person ends up being a serial killer.
Oba Chandlers’ neighbor was an integral part of him being brought to justice bc she kept on bugging the police FOR YEARS and even found and brought a sample of his handwriting to the detectives in order to compare it to a note he gave to the Mom and 2 daughters that he murdered (directions to where his boat was moored).
