A close family member of mine has been receiving death threats by telephone for the past 3 days. The first night he called 13 times in 45 minutes and informed her that someone had paid him $5000 to kill her. She called the police. While they were there he didn't call...as soon as he left he started the calls again. The police told her that they could not trace it b/c he was blocking the number. Now it's 2 days later and the calls are relentless. It seems that her house is being watched due to the way the calls are coming. This afternoon someone was beating on her door and she was too scared to go to it. When she called they told her they would add it to the report. They sent her to sign a release for the # to be traced, but when she got there they told her that they couldn't because a crime hadn't been committed. I cannot believe this!!! Does she have to die before they will do something? Who knows what's gonna happen next,he's already gotten brave enought to come to the door

I will be contacting the sheriff's office in the morning and letting them know I will be notifying the news media if nothing is done. If it were one of their family members I'm willing to bet they would already know who it is! My questions is if there is any other agency we can contact about this?

I don't know where you live, but the procedure should be that a Police report is made for Telephone threats. This information is then given to the phone company. You can not obtain the information, but an attorney can with a subpoena. Call the phone company, and request to speak to a supervisor.

Call the phone company. They often have a code you can enter on your phone after a call that will "trace" the call. They can then release the information to the police.
Get a tape recorder and a device to connect the recorder to the phone (local Radio Shack can set you up) and record all of the calls.

till you're in touch in drugs, money laundering, the Mafia, or a gang, it became probable purely a prank call. (Plus, i individually do no longer think of those persons alert you only before time that they're going to kill you!) The police could probable no longer take a record of the call very heavily. till there became a probability to explode a university or an aircraft, they're going to easily blow it off (albeit with politeness!) it incredibly is why I in no way answer an "unidentified caller!"
