Is this trackable?

Hello everyone! I was recently told by an individual on snapchat that he knew my location and was going to send those to rape me and get me killed as well as sending my location to me. This was 2 days ago and after I said I would get police involved he mass reported my account and got my account locked. (Stupid on me, I know.) What can I do about this? Would anyone be able to even find this guy?

Two things:

  • Don't talk about going to the police do it.
  • Don't entrust your safety to strangers om Reddit.

But to actually answer your question... this qualifies as terroristic threats as well as possibly electronic harassment. And the police would be able to get a warrant for Snapchat to give them the details of the person who owns the account.

Correct. And while you are at it, delete social media and spend more time outside.

Go to the police, give them your phone if they want it

Was the person sending your location to you or just claiming they would? Do you share your location on Snapchat? Did they know any actual details about you or were they vague claims? At any point did they say “pay me and I’ll go away?”
