    I've noticed people in the US seem to be less eager to befriend neighbors, and case like this are why, honestly.

    BTW "The Watcher" house family got a deal with Netflix to tell their story. Still IMO not enough to make up for the terror and loss they have been forced to deal with....

    Ok, this link gives a little more info..

    It sounds like it could be the neighbors

    The new owners wanted to tear it down, & build 2 homes on the lot, they were turned down by the zoning.

    Yikes! Stories like these make me glad I keep to myself. I don't want to get involved with any creepy neighbors.

    Hard to imagine paying 1.4 million for that house.

    This one comes with 21 acres.

    One of my friends is dealing with a neighbor breaking into her house and the cops won’t do anything. I feel bad for her, but there’s nothing I can do.

    it’s sad there’s so many sick people in the world

    I would have stayed and added security measures, including one-way windows, so the inside of the house can't be seen from the outside, thorn bushes in front of all 1st floor windows, floodlights, cameras, alarms, walls or fences that can't be seen through around the entire property, a german shephard, drones, and whatever else I could do to make the house intruder-proof.

    I have to be vague about this (privacy) but I discovered after he died that an ex-family member was the type of person that could have potentially been a "nightmare neighbor" - we went through some of his stored possessions after he died and it was clear he was a bad person.

    I shared that because HONESTLY any security measures you take to secure your home are worthwhile.

    The theories in the Watcher case are interesting. My thought is it's a person who has a grudge against one or both parents.

    He left some interesting clues. Have any nearby properties been in the same family for three generations? They should have been at the courthouse (or online, if that is possible in that jurisdiction) running the titles.

    The whole thing is weird.
    I say the neighbors (also zoning) didn't want them tearing it down & putting up 2 houses

    Honestly, I wish I didn't know some stuff I know.

    Pretty sure she’s already done that. She’s called the cops and everything else to deal with this situation like any sane and reasonable person would do. There are clinical psychopaths unfortunately.

    Honestly the best deterrent to a psychopath is using boundaries and not letting them think your are easy prey in the beginning. Gotta nip that shit in the bud. No matter how “small” the offense is speak up or it’ll just get worse.

    In this case she rejected the neighbor- mostly because she was just tired and didn’t want to hang. She apologized and the neighbor saw her as weak for apologizing and it started with “small things” and the cops didn’t do anything so it got worse and worse.

    The things I know that I wish I didn’t know
