Untraceable Phone Stalker Targeting 12-year-old Girl

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- One of the first messages he left said he would find her and then kill her.

The cell phone the message was left on belongs to a 12-year-old girl from Jacksonville. We are not identifying her for safety reasons.

"The first one she heard wasn't so bad. But by the end, it was very sexual in orientation and threatening," says "Jane," the girl's mother.

Jane told First Coast News there have been twelve messages in less than a week on her daughter's phone. The messages are all from the same voice, a man.

"I know where you live. I tracked you down and I'm driving there right now. I'm about to kill you." That's another message Jane has recorded on her daughter's phone.

"There's no record of his calls," says Jane. Every single one of the messages have been untraceable for police. The simple reason is because the guy never actually called the phone.

"There's no record of calls coming into the phone. They go straight to voicemail," says Jane.

The mother of four says the phone company told her it doesn't know how this could happen.

But First Coast News has found there are a number of websites online that offer a stealth phone service.

All that is needed is a call to the website's phone number. You plug in the number you want to call and you are automatically connected with the person's voicemail.

"Unfortunately, her name is on voicemail. He knows her name now and her voice."

Jane is doing what she can to protect her daughter. Police have subpoenaed her child's phone records but there was no useable information on it. "Police have said their hands are tied until something happens."
