I don't know if this is the right subreddit, so please redirect me if needed.

The other day, me and my friends were having an outing. After a while, one of my friends pulled out their phone and showed a video that they "found in a USB on an Appalachian trail". (They recently hiked- I can confirm.)

The video was a strange video letter recorded by some probably young adult boy named Alex, with a foreign last name. (Pronounced Coe-Pee-All) and was talking grimly about how if he went missing abruptly, his father; Alistair Wilcox did it. Then, the video shifted to a first person clip of someone throwing landscaping trash into a dried river bank. I'm not sure if the two clips are related.

What could this have been?

Hi everyone,

I am a 22 year old living in the Dominican Republic, and I need some logistical help from someone located in the US.

My biological father passed away in 2024 in Philadelphia. I grew up outside his marriage and only met him about three times in my life, but I’ve been hustling and gathering information about his family ever since he passed away.

I recently found out that his widow and my half-siblings might be running a specific restaurant/business in Philly that used to belong to him. However, I am not 100% sure if this is the exact place, and I don't have the money to make an international call from here to check and verify.

I am looking for someone in the US who can make a quick, very discreet phone call to this business on my behalf. I just need you to ask for the manager, confirm if they are indeed the family of my late father, and if so, let them know that their brother in DR is respectfully trying to reach out and leave my WhatsApp number.

I want to do this with the utmost respect for their privacy, which is why I am not posting the business name or phone number here. I will share those details privately via PM with anyone willing to help me verify this info.

Thank you so much to anyone who can lend me a hand.

I wanted to share the case of Regina Allen, also known publicly as Regina Lauren from the Playboy world, who is currently listed as a missing person on NamUs.

Her case number is MP137600.

Regina was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 1, 2019. According to the public case information, she was scheduled to fly from Las Vegas to her family home but never boarded the flight. She was 43 years old at the time she disappeared and would now be approximately 50.

Her NamUs case appears to have only been added in 2025, despite her being a known figure to some people through early-2000s Playboy media under the name Regina Lauren. Many people familiar with that era may remember her, particularly from the 2001 Playboy/Grammy appearance.

There does not seem to be much public coverage of her disappearance, which feels unusual given that she had some public recognition. I also know there were rumours that she may have fallen on hard times before she went missing. I think it's very possible that her case has simply not reached the people most likely to recognise her, especially if they knew her by her public name rather than her legal name.

NamUs case: Regina Allen, MP137600

Case details:

• Name: Regina Allen
• Also known publicly as: Regina Lauren
• Missing from: Las Vegas, Nevada
• Date of last contact: July 1, 2019
• Age at disappearance: 43
• Current age: approximately 50
• Investigating agency: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

I realise this may not be a typical post for the sub, so I hope it is allowed. I'm sharing this here because r/RBI is often really at finding overlooked information and raising awareness of previously overlooked cases.

I've searched but I can't find any public reporting on her disappearance.

Working a TCPA case against a persistent scam SEO outfit hammering my US business with 3PM daily calls from rotating numbers for several weeks. Need help building out their footprint to surface a US-jurisdictional defendant.
Surface facts:
• Trading brand: AIO Technologies
• Website: aiotechnologies.com
• Listed entity (per site footer): Tencaro Services Ltd
• Listed address: 18 Souliou Street, Strovolos, P.O. Box 23622, 1685 Nicosia, Cyprus
• Site copyright: 2023
• Call origin: Indian call center, English-speaking, US-style pitch
• Service pitched: SEO / digital marketing
• Pattern: 3PM hits daily, rotating CLI on every call, no compliance with cease-and-desist
• Target number DNC-registered for over a year
What I’m working through, and where help would short-circuit the timeline:
1. Sister brands. Cyprus shell + Indian call center + boilerplate SEO site almost certainly means 5 to 20 white-label variants on shared infrastructure. Planning to pivot on tracker IDs (GA, Pixel, AdSense), favicon hash via Shodan/Censys, reverse IP, and certificate transparency. If anyone has bandwidth and tooling to run those faster than me, or has already mapped a similar operator’s portfolio, I’d be very grateful. Sister brands with US-fronted billing entities are the real targets.
2. Tencaro Services Ltd beneficial owners. Cyprus UBO register is restricted-access. Planning to retain a Cypriot solicitor for direct access, but if anyone has Sayari Graph, OpenCorporates premium, or similar entity-linkage access and is willing to run “Tencaro Services Ltd” against the registered address, that would save me two weeks.
3. Lead vendor. They got my number from somewhere specific. GDPR DSAR going to the Cyprus entity (Article 15 + Article 14 source disclosure required). If anyone recognizes this operator’s targeting pattern from prior investigations and has a likely list broker in mind, would appreciate a pointer.
4. US gateway carrier on inbound foreign traffic. Pulling CDRs from my carrier this week to get true ANI, OCN, LRN, and STIR/SHAKEN attestation. If anyone’s navigated this with a major business carrier and has tips on the path of least resistance, would love to hear them.
5. Cross-investigation linkage. Strovolos shows up a lot in offshore-scam OSINT. Has anyone seen “Tencaro Services Ltd” or “18 Souliou Street, Strovolos” pop up in unrelated investigations? Looking for any prior reporting that ties these to a known operator group.
Pivot data anyone can work with right now:
• Domain: aiotechnologies.com (registered via privacy service)
• Entity: Tencaro Services Ltd
• Address: 18 Souliou Street, Strovolos, P.O. Box 23622, 1685 Nicosia, Cyprus
What I can trade back:
• Documented call log (numbers, times, dates) over several weeks
• CDRs once carrier returns them
• Whatever surfaces from the Cypriot UBO file pull
• GDPR DSAR response if and when it lands
• Any contract or proposal artifacts if I escalate engagement to extract them

My friend is being harassed by someone who we believe is using a fake phone number through text now, does anyone know of any ways to trace who is behind it without getting police involved? We'd appreciate the help, thank you all.

I’m not sure if this violates the rules so if you are a moderator and are reading this and see it does violate any, please remove it. I’m not trying to doxx anyone and this is in no way to harm someone over some petty drama. (I posted this in RBI and it got removed)

I had a very close online friend, 14F, who we will call Jane. I just cut her off because I found out she had a twitter account (with quite a following) dedicated to ageplay and selling nsfw content. I will not be disclosing any more information about this, but I believe it is crucial to the story. Before I cut her off, she told me about her 36 year old online “boyfriend” who we will call John. I was uncomfortable at this, but I wasn’t sure what to do since I am a minor as well.

I continued talking to her and this helped me learn some information about him. She told me that they met on twitter and he is very much aware of her age. I know what state he lives in, his first name, his face, his age, his twitter account, but not much else. I don’t have any contact with Janes family or parents so I don’t know how to get her into a safe place, and frankly I’m afraid. What I have seen, they have done video calls and he buys her hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. How does her mom not know? I’m really not sure.

I’ve seen some of their messages and it is extremely concerning, I am just not sure what to do. I can’t go to any authority because I don’t know what city he is in, and I don’t know his last name or anything like that. Is there anyone who would be willing to help, or give me advice? Or even help me find out more information about him so I can properly report him to the police?

Oh hey! I just discovered this sub after posting to the old RBI! I've got to find this box; I'm desperate. Here was my original post:

Hi! I desperately need help. On 4/21 in Centennial Colorado we scheduled an Uber to pick up a box of parts. An Uber driver "Ricardo" showed up in a red 2018-2019 Hyundai Sonata, picked up our two boxes, then cancelled the ride. Now we cannot contact the driver, get his plate number, or anything because the ride was "cancelled".

2 weeks of begging Uber for info and they've thrown us around with "sorry for your concern a team member will be with you shortly" and "I hope we've resolved all of your issues, we contacted the driver" with no action at all.

We have gone to the police. They can't do anything quickly and have to get a warrant etc. How do I find this kid and get this stuff back? I'm hoping it's a misunderstanding and the box is happily riding around in the back of his car but I'm afraid he may have seen the part numbers and decided to sell the stuff.

I'm going to go sit and request and cancel rides for the next few hours in hopes I can get a hold of him, but Reddit can you help please?

48 Hour Update: The police have done nothing; referred this to "Investigations." We hired a private investigator. $700. He just called and said based on the pics of the car and the guy's face he freaking found him! He has the address the car is registered to, the guy's cell phone, and he is having a "package recovery specialist" head over there now. We're going to see if we can recover this today.

UPDATE: FOUND! OMG!

GUYS! Okay so we hired the PI. I've never even talked to a PI in my entire life. He found the person, had his "recovery specialist" go to the guy's house, flash his badge, and the guy took him to the package. I'm almost embarrassed to tell everyone but I'm so happy and I want to help anyone else who might come across this post in the future. The Uber driver had "gotten confused" and "thought the package went to Lowes" so took it there. No crap, it was at Lowes, the hardware store. It took the PI a total of 4 hours. He used some vehicle database and distinctive marks on the car to find the guy, find his house, and verify his first name.

Holy cow I have learned so much. Thank you everyone for your help!

I need help to find my bio parents, because with more information I get, im starting to think that something is bad

I was adopted down the waters (I don’t know if is the correct phrase, I’m not from USA or English country) so I hope you can help me to find the correct sub or to help me to investigate

I took a photo of this aquarium and then i searched for it online and found nothing about its history. It looks like lost media

Hello y'all.

Basically, I was trying to apply for a remote job, and I don't know how, but I applied for a job in Canada for some reason.

I answered and I was told that I applied for a Canadian Visa??? I let the other person know that I would take my time to see the places I applied to see what the hell I got myself into. The other person was also strange when I told her that I wasn't sure how they got my info.

I live in Costa Rica, and since then, I have received call after call. To be honest, I don't mind it since most of the time my cellphone is muted or in my locker so I just see the missing calls. It can easily be annoying to other people, but not to me.

I have received an email every day stating that my Canadian Visa was granted and whatever.

They have been VERY persistent, and I have been called by scammers before, but this is another level of insistence. Since I'm not from Canada, I wanted to know if someone can search if these phone numbers are legit or if I should change my phone number lol.

Hello, I am wondering if this would be the right place to ask for an independent investigation regarding a recent event here in our country.

On the 19th of April, around 4 am, the armed forces of the Philippines commenced its 79th infantry battalion in Toboso, Negros Occidental after reports of terrorism in that area. In the same event are journalists, activists, and student leaders whose lives were also taken during the encounter.

One of those lives was Alyssa Alano, a political science student in the Philippines who is conducting a study in the area after last year's reports on land grabbing and other difficulties with our farmers. Many of the accusations from my fellow Filipinos were that she was a part of the terrorist group and rejoiced online about her death. Comments are also flooded with insults to her death being related to corned beef as many Filipinos see her as nothing more than a human but as if a mere hunted animal. We are experiencing a moral decay and have lost sensitivity when it comes to these things.

We cannot sketch a detailed timeline from the information available online as well as with what I've got so far. Nor can we answer if her intention was really to conduct a study in the area as the AFP stated that they witnessed her equipped with battle gear in the encounter. There are so many questions that we cannot answer by mere arguments alone. But I have managed to screenshot an uncensored image of her from the very people who are mocking her death.

- in the uncensored image, I cannot find any clear gunshot wounds, but I can see a yellow discoloration on her neck and the side of her forehead. Although her neck is not fully visible as the strap of a sling bag was on top of it.

- she is also thin and underweight for my mind to make sense that she is carrying battle equipment such as M16 as said by the comments online.

- her hair was also dyed black during the encounter, but red before. Some people are thinking that this is so that she can camouflage better in the jungle but I don't really know.

Any insights from the second image will be helpful for us for getting at least a bit of objective truth.

I have a friend whose ex has a history and we need to uncover why things like a license has been revoked, who owns the phone numbers, past court cases and arrests that we can find via Google. Child’s safety and well being is at risk.

After being in my room for the past hour I remembered an old memory back probably 2022? Or probably 2023 but its kinda blurry what year month it was but genuinely the memory is still fresh from my mind‚ so this is how it starts. After having no original content I decided in TikTok to roleplay as peter griffin because of those Instagram peter having is insta and my 12 year old self decided to be peter in TikTok which of course I posted dumb shits pretending to be peter in his daily life.

It was lowk going good for me at that time since I was posting consistently so I was getting atleast 400+ views or more and I decided to continue and take it further more by finding an account that roleplay as joe quagmire and cleveland.

First I found a joe rp acc which posted only about ranting about bonnie or being in a wheelchair etc etc(This guy isn't really apart since he was also like me a normal dude who seemed nice a nice guy same with the Cleveland acc) and then I found a quagmire account well actually he had if I think private? But I also think it was public I'm conflicted in this part but I followed the guy commented on the quagmire rp acc and eventually became friends.

With this people after talking to them for a few weeks or days probably days tho but like I said the memory is lowk blurry except for the actual event. So I asked them I'ma make and add them to a gc called "The Clam" and there it all hitted of quagmire and the Joe guy we're starting to be good friends talking Cleveland rp acc on the other hand didn't replied or didn't even talked he was online but barely talked(Now here's where it starts getting sketchy)

The Joe rp acc was getting kinda distant asking me personal questions which I actually didn't leak any of my real stuff since im not dumb enough to do so but I was telling him Peter facts like peters age etc etc and the Joe rp didn't seen for days so I thought maybe smth happened? Kinda confusing why hed asked me personal stuff like my age where I live etc etc

(Now this part I remember FULLY and still today creeped me out) I was bored of course no one to talk to (I barely have friends in my 12 age school year since almost everyone in my school year was trying to act tuff cool or intimidating so I wasn't interested) but I always see the quagmire dude online. I only remember talking to him about asking him to join the gc that's all so I decided to talk to the dude. The Convo started off as like this I said "Hi" then he greeted back so I started a small talk (I barely remember but I think the small talk was about rp pretend going to the clam talking about the sluts whores and quagmires sex life as rp ofc) but then he suddenly out of nowhere asked me the same question as the Joe acc did "What's your age?" I was stunned confused but I thought he's asking about peters age so I said "Im 42" and then that's the part where it creeped me out he suddenly replied "Your 12 and you live in ****"(Can't say where I live but yeah) and then I was to stunned and creeped out especially since I was home only with my middle brother both of us were home alone I got creeped out that time and blocked him quickly I immediately blocked both joe and Cleveland acc(I think those two accs were just rp like actually rp but I was creeped out that time) then immediately deleting my account and deleting TikTok and after that incident it still creeps me out today because i was getting doxxed for no reason at all

(I posted this because I lowk wanna see if anyone got the same incident happening to them or if anyone knows who's this quagmire doxxer would be all this chat was happening in TikTok not discord not Facebook not insta but TikTok chats I'd appreciate if anyone got anything about this or anyone knows who's the guy or if they have the acc which I think they probably have a diff acc or deleted or terminate who knows.)

Hello. I joined this subreddit not long ago and thought if we were being the internet's FBI why don't we have a class system so here's an idea. Feel free to make changes and point out problems with it!

Sub-classes: Denoted by letters following the primary class (e.g., Class SA). These indicate a specific sub-category related to the primary classification.

Versions: Denoted by numbers following the primary class (e.g., Class E2). These indicate a specific variation or version of the base classification.

Class E: Incidents of anomalous or unexplained phenomena where no physical harm or malicious intent is present.

Class E2: Domestic and interpersonal disputes involving trust, infidelity, or complex family dynamics without immediate physical danger.

Class A: Serious non-physical threats, including stalking, blackmail, or digital harassment that endangers social reputation and mental well-being.

Class AE: Escalated threats involving physical intimidation, direct death threats, or severe harrasment with a risk of bodily harm

Class S: High-stakes criminal investigations, including violent crimes and the pursuit of unidentified perpetrators.

Class SA: Active missing persons cases requiring investigative efforts to determine location and safety.

Class X: Maximum-level threats involving homicides, serial offenders, and acts of terrorism.

Hello!

I’m a college student currently taking a Film class in the Portland area. Every week, we have a film critique and this week was Gojira. I was originally watching it on HBO, but was looking for more quotes and me (being too lazy) looked up the full movie on YouTube. I found a video with the full movie, posted about 11 years ago with a quarter of a million views on YouTube. I’m surprised it’s still up after all this time, anyways.

I see it’s posted by some guy named Ronald Rager. (full account name: ronaldrager8254 on YouTube). Usually I wouldn’t think too much on an account like this, but the man kind of looked like someone I was related to. (I don’t wanna get too much into that part, since the person he looks like is someone who’s caused me a lot of pain.) He also had the same first name. So, I google the guy’s name and it pops up an obituary. Me, being nosy, click on the obituary. The guy passed away in 2008 and the same picture for the account on YouTube was the same picture used on his obituary. The account was made in September 5th, 2014: around 6 years after this guy passed away and on the same day the account was created, he posted the full Gojira movie to YouTube.

I think he might be a bot, but thought I’d bring it here anyways. Here’s the link to the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcuqM6FuCFo

I found this in front of my house and now I'm scared because I have no idea why or who put it there. For some reason, it has a very worn-out piece of paper inside. I think it's some kind of voodoo doll. Honestly, I don't know what to say about it. My parents are worried because they think it's some kind of curse or something. Someone might see what this thing is! And another detail is that the paper is stuck to its neck for some reason, and this thing has a strong, strange smell.

eu encontrei isso num fórum da darkweb (ou rede onion)o endchan e o cara que fez a postagem disse que isso acontece quando ele e um amigo foram parados por uma viatura e depois veio esse carro ele ele não recebeu muta o resto do post foi so ele zoando mas eu fortemente queria saber onde isso se passa e se o policial está bem alguém poderia analisar o vídeo ( um detalhe é que o post depois de um tempo foi apagado acho por causa do sistema do chamado mas eu pelo menos consegui salvar o vídeo no meu computador)

I need some help.

I was talking to a close friend from school and she told me about her experience of getting abused online. So a few years ago, she and this guy met on discord (you know where this'll be going) met on the same server as each other. Since they had similar interests, they started talking frequently. They became "friends" after, then one day, he started to be more inappropriate with her. He did this knowing she was still a minor, as she stated multiple times already, but that never mattered to him. He even started sending sexual images of himself to her, which had made her even more uncomfortable. The most horrific part to me being he was actually being genuine with his "love." The guy even had plans too. He told her to hide from her parents and legally change her name when she meets him. He also claimed she'll have immense wealth when she married him. Hell, he even doxxed himself to her for that. We got the evidence, and we tried reporting it to the authorities, but since we were overseas, we couldn't reach them via phone line, and the website the county provided was down, we were out of luck. That incident she mentioned to me continues to haunt me till this very day. I tried doing everything I could to put him to justice. I could provide evidence to narrow the case down. Please help me.

I haven't gotten any help other than a fellow redditor recommending me to reach out to someone on telegram. Please, I really need some help.

I have a folding floor mattress that I sometimes bring out when my normal bed mattress starts hurting my back. Whenever I use this mattress and then lift it up there is a visible wet stain on the bottom of the mattress and the floor is slightly damp. Its not like standing water puddles, just like droplets or sweat. Whenever I don’t have the mattress out on the floor, I never notice any water or condensation and I have been checking several times a day since I’ve noticed this. There is no smell and it dries extremely quickly on both the floor and the bottom of the mattress. The flooring is just a fake wood laminate. Any ideas what could be causing this?
