Weekly Plot Help - Week of November 3rd

Got a problem in your NaNo? Who doesn't?! But we've got a way to help!

Post here with your plot problems, and all through the week members of the community will scan through and see if they can help.

AKA - The best way to procrastinate is to help others!

So post your problem. Then take a moment to look at everyone else's and see if you can help them.

People helping people. That's what makes this community great :)

So have at it!

Why can't they just go pick him up if they know his name? Probable cause. They need more than a name to go on, and much as victim statements are helpful, their memories aren't always the best, so the police need a lot more to go on than a name. Especially in our forensic centered criminal system. :)

The killer could start semi-stalking your victim. Some places don't yet have stalking laws, so the MC wouldn't be able to file any complaints.
