VR #123: Prowler and Harassing Phone Call

October 21st, 1975 | W Royal Oaks Dr

This incident is missing one or more key pieces of the VR's MO and may not be related.

The family on W Royal Oaks Dr that had been ransacked on September 22nd had experienced a harassing phone call on October 16th, where the caller said "I know you're alone and I'm going to come over and fuck you."

On October 20th, the wife was home alone and she heard someone attempting to open her front door. She tired to get a visual on the subject but he or she covered the peephole from the outside. Less than an hour later, the phone rang, and the caller didn't say anything but didn't hang up, either. The phone rang again five minutes later, and the caller said "How yould you like to get fucked?" And then he said her name.

The woman felt that the caller was the same man, and the police felt that this was an instance of the Ransacker calling to taunt his former victim. A young lady living near the Snelling residence also received harassing phone calls around this time period.
