The police banged on our door this afternoon. They were hunting for a scruffy looking guy and showed us his photo so we could tell them if we'd seen him before. (Somebody told them he came to our house often. ) We didn't recognize him. He did look like my brother-in-law, though. The police talked with us for a few minutes and then left. *shrug* We were both asleep when they pounded on our door.

Are you sure it was not your brother in law?

Yes, I'm sure. He's only been here once several years ago.

@DaddyEvil Better not to get involved with the police when possible.

So whomever that was had misidentified him with your BIL.

Probably, although my BIL hasn't been here for two or three years.

@DaddyEvil Police make me nervous. Even the nice one that showed up at our front door because somebody wanted to know if we were okay.

No, they didn't but we didn't ask, either. I'll have you know that we got our long hair cut a month ago. I am sporting a stylish curly mullet, like I had years ago... Let me see if I can find that photo from way back in my early thirties. Photo is mine from 1996. Me with a mullet.

@Traceyjayne You're only supposed to be looking at the hair! Thank you... Pretty once told people on another writing site that she had a very handsome father when somebody said red haired guys were usually ugly... And I can't disagree with that. Most red-headed guys ARE ugly! I'm glad you don't think I was ugly back then... but I'm not pretty like that anymore. I've gained weight and my face is normally swollen from hyperthyroidism. I rarely show front facing photos anymore. Oh, I have lost a total of about 55 lbs this year! I'm below 250 lbs now! and very happy about that! Edit to add: I haven't had a moustache since a little after that photo was taken. I can get scruffy now since I rarely leave the house.

That’s really traumatic to have police barging into your home and asking for someone you don’t know except that it looks like your brother in law. I wonder why are they looking for that person and who pointed out your place as the place where that person is at.

@DaddyEvil I guess they won’t divulge that information unless they physically caught that person in your property and will get arrested by them. Anyway l hope they would not monitor your home after that. They may suspect that they may still be hiding there.

@rsa101 It doesn't matter to me. We keep doors and windows closed and locked with blackout curtains over the windows. They can't see or hear anything from inside our house.

Yeah, they won't say who pointed them at your house in case you go hunting for that person later. They don't say why they're looking for that person, either.

I'm a man, though. Pretty also went to answer the door. I just reached the door first.

That would have startled me for sure. That's funny he looks like your brother-in-law. He may not want to come there for a little while until they catch the guy. He may be taken instead.

That's a rude wake up call. I wonder why someone told them the guy visited you often.

@JudyEv The cop said somebody told him the guy was here so yeah, that's what I think. We never have visitors at this house. At our last house, yes, visitors all the time but we've been here 9 years and I can count the number of people who have been here on one hand.
