Warning: An Investigator for Ayres may be calling people to pump them for information

One of our readers just got a call from a man claiming to be the father of two victims who won't go to the police. This "father" refused to give our reader his name or contact information. He claims not to know his way around the computer, but somehow found our reader via the internet and by reading this person's blogs on the internet. This reader is someone who posts under his real name, so this so-called "father" of a victim would have had an easier time tracking him down.

The man was fishing for any information from our reader on the case and asked questions about potential witnesses... He always says he travels a lot and is hard to reach. Won't give you his work phone number because he says he can't talk about the Ayres case at work (but strangely he tells people he is making these calls from his office.)

We would have given this person the benefit of the doubt had not other people received the same call from this same man in the last two years. Won't give out contact info, lies about how he gets your contact info and although he promises to call back or email, he does not.

We strongly suspect that this man is an investigator working for Ayres' lawyer. If this man makes a cold call to you out of the blue and says he is the father of a victim or is a friend of the victim but the victim won't come forward and says he is looking for information on the case and yet he refuses to give out contact information, do not talk to him. If he gets cagey when you ask for contact information ( on caller ID the number always shows up as a private number) do not talk to him. Get off the phone quick.

This sort of thing is more likely to happen if you are posting under your real name. Those who are posting anonymously here and under other handles elsewhere should be safe from this creep.
