Why not just block it?
Obviously no answer required, but are you receiving constant threatening calls and/or texts?
No. Someone has contacted my wife, pronouncing their feelings. They’ve specifically stated to her there would be no need for me (by name) to know.
The sender has mentioned enough things about their ‘real life’ interactions that it is most likely someone who she routinely interacts with professionally.
The sender has been made aware that I know of these messages and they’ve been told to cease and desist, with their response being “It’s not like I’m a stalker”.
Scary. That's exactly what a stalker does. I would make a report to the local policing agency. I'm not sure they would do anything without there being a threat, but texting the case number to the stalker might get their attention.
Pretty sure it’s a burner anyways, but we’re doing some simple ‘self-help’ forensics up front to see how stupid the sender is.The problem with phone numbers alone ...
I would think the best thing you can do is file a report with local LE. It's probably not going to trigger an investigation at this point but perhaps if the caller escalates LE can then use the certain databases available to them to see what comes up.
For now, if it's even possible, ask your wife to make a list of possible suspects. You might be able to connect the phone number to a name online. Again, no guarantee but it might help in the mean time.
Tell her to respond with, “send a pic”.
He may be ignorant enough to send his face.
What if he’s a she?

My return text would be, "you don't need to keep living".
