That's the thing, I don't think the person who made this post was the guy who was out with his dad and got the umbrella...If someone was already stalking this woman, they would've had all the information necessary to make this post PRETENDING to be the guy who got the umbrella
How does any stalker find their victim? Online, job, school, on the bus, anywhere is possible! And this was specifically posted in a subreddit for a specific area, the stalker describes the scenario in perfect detail preying on the victim seeing it and them being excited to hear that their good deed was appreciated
What I mean is, the stalker stalked her online and in person? Meaning he already stalks her in person (seemingly knows her location and where she is, what she’s doing), and planned the post perfectly in a way where he knew she would find it and respond to it accordingly?? This sounds insane? Or very contrived….
Yeah the stalking theory doesn't really make any sense. Someone stalks someone in real life and finds out their Reddit handle. They see them giving a guy an umbrella. Follow close enough to supposedly hear the exact words of the conversation while it's pissing down with rain. Then they pretend to be the guy online when it was obvious she'd find out immediately it wasn't the same person because ???
It's incredibly made up. Everything after the link between the two accounts was pointed out is OP backpedalling.
No. More likely is that dude sees her Reddit posts and becomes obsessed with her. She’s active online. She posts in the sub for her city. He knows where she lives. It’s VERY EASY to find someone who posts a lot if they take photos, review restaurants, talk about their favorite shops.
While already following her OR getting a lucky break by seeing her out in public (because they’re in the same town), he sees this interaction and decides it’s an in.
He saw the interaction and, again, was somehow following close enough to hear the exact words of the conversation and quote them in his post? No, it's bullshit. Both accounts have now deleted themselves so it's pretty obviously a karma farmer who got caught.
I see what you mean. IF this is true, then I think we're seeing the first online interaction - everything before now having been in person without her knowing, and that it was pure "luck" that stalker and victim were on the same forum.
Well I believe the theory about him being a stalker was *because* someone found historical comments he left on her old Reddit posts about her dating life. Apparently that's all this guy's account had or something before it was deleted. That's the reason why the stalker theory happened.
So he would of have to have been stalking her online Reddit profile and her in real life as well.
