crank

this morning all of the attorneys, except me, had a explicit threatening voice mail message. the female attorneys each had more than one, each threatening them personally with sexual assault. the male attorneys had only one each. their messages similarly explicit except that they were directed at the attorney's mother. each message was obviously from the same person, although he tried to do a different accent on each one. in the longer messages his accent fades away by the end. our voice mail time-stamped the messages as being recorded between 11:52 and 12:15 last night.

it really (and understandably) freaked out one of the other young attorneys here. she got three messages, more than anyone else.

oddly, our crank did not leave any messages for any non-attorneys. plus he skipped me. when i heard the messages, i assumed that it was one of our clients, but no one has been able to identify the voice. the police are coming to listen to the messages. i don't expect that they will do much, but we do not have caller i.d. in the office and so the phone company won't release their records unless we file a police report.

strange morning.
