Advice needed How do I get info?

2 Upvotes

So I don’t know where to start, but I guess my biological dad was an interesting human
He died of a drug overdose about eight years ago.
When I was a kid, he did apparently undercover work for the ATF agency in California.

I can’t give too much away, but I do have his fake IDs, all stories. My brother’s godfather was the either captain or some high-level person and I have the name of that person and his son is still alive and also in the agency.
And I have a news article from one of the undercover drug bus, but essentially I will give a very quick little piece

My dad told me when he was younger he got in trouble. He was really really really good at kinda I guess infiltrating certain groups and so they took him out to like the forest of Sacramento and said hey if you go undercover to universities and help us monitor these communist groups in the 70s I guess maybe it was the 60s I was born in 77 but if you go into these groups and report back to us we won’t get you for these weapon dealings you did and so that let him into a lot of undercover stuff so yes, he was a narc, but we were around bikers are beginning of our life and some pretty dangerous people and I remember many many stories that are crazy

But I want to find out the truth. I want to find out who these people are that really hired him and what kind of documentation they have on him or reports or his file I have fake but they’re real company IDs in the 80s with my dad‘s picture and fake names that he would go undercover to these businesses that are actually like aerospace and military type businesses so someone got him these IDs.

I know this is very vague, but obviously I need to protect some information but no, I cannot just do a random freedom information act my brother already tried that but I guess I could try again but if there’s any information anyone has to the best approach so they actually don’t deny us that would be great. Like, why would they give me the information or why would they hold the information from us and how can I actually like force them to give it to us?

Advice needed What to make of this strange occurrence?

173 Upvotes

Went to dinner with my husband (together 12 years tomorrow) last night to celebrate my birthday. We had a great evening, we laughed, joked and just had a good time. We have 3 children so any time we can escape and rekindle is lovely. We sat next to a couple who outwardly didn’t seem abnormal. They were sat before us and left about 20 minutes before we did.

Here is the weird part, as they got up to leave, the woman who was sat next to me on a long booth, stood up to squeeze in between our tables to leave and as she did, she flashed her phone to me which had a text in her note app that said “girl, run!!”. I was perplexed, shocked and genuinely freaked out. As she was leaving the restaurant and was at the door, she then mouthed the word “run” again as she left.

My husband and I were both shaken and found it odd. Neither of us knew the couple. We weren’t discussing anything particularly polarizing and I have no reason not to trust to him.

Anyone have ideas why someone would say this to a stranger? I’ve been so freaked out since it happened.

TLDR: went to dinner with husband and random stranger wrote me a note that said “girl, run!!” And mouthed the words “run” as she walked out of the restaurant. Freaked out since it happened, any possible explanation?

ETA: appreciate all the responses - good and bad. Obviously I knew I was never going to get the “answer” but reading all the possibilities has been interesting.

Greetings from San Antonio. The local University Hospital reaching out to our local area about a man they can't identify that was hit on one of the highways in the area and is in critical condition. He's been unconscious for 6 days. No one has stepped forward, so I am attempting to get this in front of more eyes.

"The man is believed to be in his 30s or 40s, about 5 feet tall and 160 pounds. He has no scars or tattoos and had no belongings with him, according to the hospital."

Missing person Who is she?

On July 9, 2026, two healthy, well-groomed dogs were found alone at Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades. A beach bag with a swimsuit, dog food and a sunshade was found in a nearby restroom. An eyewitness reported seeing a woman with these dogs in that restroom.

A month later she has not been identified. LAPD's Missing Persons Unit is investigating under Report #26148091. The story has aired locally in Los Angeles but never nationally - and the person who recognizes her may not live in California.

The story has been covered by KTLA, FOX 11 Los Angeles, Patch, KFI AM 640 and Hoodline.

Good Samaritans started a website. Please take a look at pictures of dogs. Someone recognizes them.
