Speaker A
She ran around the house, closing blinds and making sure the doors were locked.
Speaker A
I paused the game and asked what's wrong, but she just pointed to her laptop.
Speaker A
I opened it and saw a Reddit post she'd made, sharing her experience being stalked by someone named Dave.
Speaker A
Her inbox had a new DM: "Your post made finding you too easy, can't wait to try you soon," followed by a picture of our house.
Speaker A
My stomach dropped.
Speaker A
My new online friend I'd been gaming with was named Dave, and we were supposed to meet up for the first time in a couple of hours.
Speaker A
I told my sister and she broke down, saying Dave had tried to unalive her before, and if I went to meet him, he'd probably do something to me in order to get to her.
Speaker A
We called the police and set a trap.
Speaker A
That evening, Dave pulled up, texting me he's outside ready to meet his gaming buddy.
Speaker A
My sister looked out and while shaking confirmed that was his car.
Speaker A
I stepped outside, my heart beating through my chest.
Speaker A
He looked at me with a smile and asked me to give him a tour of my house.
Speaker A
But a dozen officers swarmed him instantly.
Speaker A
They tackled him to the ground and pulled out his ID.
Speaker A
But when we looked at it, we saw his name wasn't registered as Dave.
Speaker A
It was Waynes.
Speaker A
Yet his picture matched perfectly.
Speaker A
So if the man on the ground in front of me wasn't Dave, where was the real Dave?
Speaker A
That's when my phone started ringing.
Speaker A
My sister.
Speaker A
I answered and a man's voice came through.
Speaker B
Congratulations.
Speaker B
You just fell for my bait.
Speaker A
I heard my sister scream and the line went dead.
