Verizon handed over phone data to a woman’s stalker MULTIPLE TIMES. Police only caught him months later as he DROVE UP TO HER HOUSE.
· Dec 14, 2023 · NottheBee.com

New Mexico man Robert Michael Glauner met a woman on a pornographic website with dating features (I don't even want to know).

Glauner became obsessed with the woman after having an "online romantic relationship" (I still don't want to know), and began to stalk her when she ended said relationship.

Glauner's threats became so worrisome that the woman had to change her phone number. At one point, he sent her a message that read,

If I can't have you, no one can.

It's all very creepy, but sadly it's also standard stalker behavior.

But this is where things go off the rails.

(Yeah, sorry to inform you, it gets worse.)

After the woman changed her phone number, Glauner got creative.

An email was sent to Verizon from "Detective Steven Cooper" (Glauner) of the Cary Police Department in North Carolina, asking for the call records and phone data for the woman's phone.

The email said,

Here is the pdf file for search warrant. We are in need if the [sic] this cell phone data as soon as possible to locate and apprehend this suspect. We also need the full name of this Verizon subscriber and the new phone number that has been assigned to her. Thank you.

Attached to the email was an affidavit from "Detective Cooper" and a search warrant signed by Superior Court Judge Gale Adams (a real judge).

The attachment also made it seem that there may be members of law enforcement who were compromised by the suspect:

Two eye witnesses describe the female suspect as fleeing the scene moments after the crime occurred. Now my superior office and I believe that a member from our police department is compromised by the suspect. And the sheriff's office may be as well.

Then "Detective Cooper" called Verizon to speed up the process.

He told Verizon that a confidential informant had just told them the female suspect was attempting to flee to Puerto Rico, so they needed to put a rush on the information.

You might think Verizon would be suspicious, since the email came from Proton mail instead of a government or police account. You might also think that they verified the search warrant with Judge Gale Adams's office (who is a real Superior Court Judge).

But none of that happened!

Verizon gave "Detective Cooper" everything he asked for, including the phone numbers of the woman's mom and dad!

Cooper-Glauner then messaged her and threatened to send the nude photographs she had sent him to all her family members.

(Let this be a lesson not to take risqué photos: Some creepy dude in New Mexico might send those to your parents.)

The woman changed her number four times in four months, but Glauner kept getting her number from Verizon!

Then the woman received a long message from Glauner saying he was on his way to North Carolina to her house with the following threat:

"Maybe I should just turn around head to your house and stop at a f***** Walmart or somewhere or I don't know Dick's sporting goods what else though the big five and pick me up a f**** rifle and come to your house how's that sound f*******,"

She called the police, and they arrested him as he pulled up. He had a "black folding razor blade knife," methamphetamine, and two bundles of rope.

He is being charged with stalking and a fraud charge related to "obtaining confidential phone records information of a covered entity."

As far as Verizon goes, they just said,

We are cooperating with law-enforcement on this matter. Any additional questions should be directed to them.
