So this guy I went to HS with was convicted of felony murder for being the getaway driver in a robbery gone bad. This was of course about 25 years ago, he's my age, probably 42-43. I heard he got out a few years ago.
I have a co-worker who is a very young pretty girl 21-22 years old, and very sweet & nice. She appears to be getting into a relationship with him, based on stuff I've seen her post on facebook. Obviously I know nothing much about their relationship, nor do I know if she knows about his past. I'd hate to see her get hurt... Should I tell her? |

Step 1:
Go to clerk of courts office, obtain records of his conviction, and scan them into your computer. Step 2: Sign up for a new Gmail account. Step 3: Email scan of records to her Step 4: Post pics of her and your wife |

Pictures first. Advice later. She's not my wife or girlfriend, not gonna happen. |

Guess he's going back after kills you for blocking.
I guess it would depend on how close of a friend the coworker was. I tend to stay out of peoples personal life but if you feel you must say something do as the other poster said and get a fake gmail acct or facebook and send it and let her decide. |

Sounds like OP might be a little jealous. Or concerned for a young girl who may not have the best radar. OP is there something more you know about this guy? Has he turned his life around or is he essentially still a low life scum? |

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! It's called the decent thing to do. . You don't have to offer an opinion one way or the other but you owe it to her to at least give her a heads up. "Hey I don't want to get involved in your personal life but you should know that #$%#$% has been in some serious trouble in the past and has spent time in prison. I don't know anything about what he is like now but I'm looking out for you and thought you should know". You at least owe her a couple of sentences.
Maybe he's changed and is a great guy now, or maybe he hasn't and he is a POS. If she doesn't know about his past already than she deserves to know. Either he is being up front with her or he isn't. If this guy turns out to be dangerous and he ends up really hurting her like she gets raped or murdered, how would you feel about it? You would feel like shit for the rest of your life because you would know you could have warned her and you didn't. I'm surprised by all the responses to the contrary. If the OP's info was that he had cheated on his wife in the past or something, then yeah he should mind his own business. But when we are talking about a potentially dangerous person there is no question about at least giving her a heads up. |

You don't spend 25 years in prison and come out normal. I don't care who says differently. Save her from a potential shiving and atleast give her a heads up.

She's young and pretty, and reminds me of what it was like to be her age, and girl crazy, but I'm a happily married man, and am not trying to do anything other than do the right thing by a friend. |

Or did you just come here to talk about a pretty 21 year-old chick and then refuse to post pics just to piss us off? Look, just create a bogus email account and send her an anonymous email. If she's too stupid to look into it after that, fuck her, she deserves very bit of what may be coming. Or maybe this guy will treat her like a goddamned queen after 25 years of nothing but prison sex? Either way, who cares, it's really not your concern... |

Since the guy has already proven that he's willing to participate in murder, I would RUN AWAY!

MYOFB, stop trying to play captain save a ho. They are both adults. And for the love of God stop cyber stalking her.
|
|
Quoted:
Pics not loading. Yep. OP needs to review forum rules. |
|
You're good for being concerned for her. I think you should just tell her
|
|
Convicted murderer? Yeah, I'd be dropping that tip ANONYMOUSLY under any circumstance.
This isn't how you want it to go down: "I'm leaving you"
"Why?" "I heard you spent 25 years in jail for murder" "WHAT!? Who told you that?" "My good friend Rugerlvr. He's such a sweetie for looking out for me." |
|
Quoted: She'll probably just like him even more. This, she had daddy issues so nothing you can say will help her. |
|
I know this isn't what you want to hear but she knows this guy is trouble, that is why she is with him. Nothing you do or say is going to get her to stop seeing him.
|
|
If your really concerned tell her about your concerns and his past
then MYOB

Quoted: Wow. I should have asked this in team. Stay classy guys. By my count, up to the point of your post above, the posters being helpful to rubbish ratio is non-team in the lead by 1. Go ahead and count. I attribute helpful posts to being on topic and answering your question. Rubbish posts are anything other than. Maybe you should have posted it not at all. As far as what I would do, I don't know. Seems like a tough choice. |

If he murdered my former employer in Texas I would be ok with it

[thread]
yeah need pics of all. but maybe the guy found Jesus, and is awesome now. 25 years is a long time. tell her? yeah, if you know for sure. |

Quoted:
Wow. I should have asked this in team. Stay classy guys. Lets see. you're the creepy stalker guy monitoring HER facebook, you want to be a snitch and cock block HIM and you tell the posters in this thread to stay classy? Mmmmkay! |

She'll know all about it when he tells her in accordance with the mandatory murderer registration law...

If you feel so compelled then anonymous is your friend. No trace of it could come back to you. Who else at work knows this guys past? Are you the only one? If so STFU and stay out of it. ETA- does he "use" jelly or syrup? |

LMAO! You actually took the time to add it up. |

I'd tell her 50/50 chance she knows and believes some bs explanation he gave her.

I'd do the anonymous email thing and leave it at that. She should be informed if she hasn't been. If she still chooses a relationship that's her bed to lie in op.

You want to fuck him over because he was a wheelman in a "robbery gone bad" (not premeditated murder) when he was about 17 or 18? Nice guy. |
|
If you're serious, just flat out fill her in.
If she thinks you're sticking your nose where it dosn't belong...it's kinda hard to be concerned for her welfare at that point anyhow. upfront and outright, and don't apologize for trying to do the right thing. Ever. JMO Good luck! |
