Did this person kow who you are, or get your liscence plate or something? If they have no way to find you then you're probaly being too paranoid but you really should have talked to the police right away to give them a description! If you didn't, then you need to ASAP. Best of luck.

Call an anonymous tip hotline. Keep a very low profile, but not so much as being completely alone.

Go to the police.

Your mistake was that you didn't shoot the fool before he killed someone.

That's one reason for the 2nd amendment in the US.

We are not only able to protect ourselves, but those in our community, as well.

Get a gun, in case it happens again. Use two hands. Don't miss. Shoot him twice (just to make sure).

You'll save someone's life and sleep better (so will the rest of the world).

Get the heck off of yahoo answers, and get to a police station.
But let someone you trust know where you are first.

And what the heck is going on in the world when someone witnesses a murder and comes on a website to ask for advice? I'm hoping this isn't real, because if it is, the world is worse off than I thought...

yep you better contact the police ASAP and go into the witness protection program. You want to get him before he gets you.


whataboutnena
hello there. i hope you read my answer carefully.

GO TO THE POLICE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE AT.
THIS PERSON (MURDERER) WILL FIND YOU SOONER OR LATER. THE POLICE WILL TAKE A STATEMENT FROM YOU. THEY WILL DECIDE IF YOU NEED TO BE PUT ON THE WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM. ANY WAYS THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO PROTECT YOU WHILE THEY FIND THIS CREEP.
BY THE WAY? IS THIS SOMEONE YOU KNOW? OR SOMEONE WHO SAW YOU DO IT? IF HE DID SEE YOU ...HOW DID YOU GET AWAY?

Go to the police.
They certainly can't help you if you don't GO to them for help.
Go to them and tell them what you saw, and tell them that you have reason to believe that your life is in danger.

I would definately tell the police. You can tell the ones in your area or call back to the other area. Also, try to get a lawyer if you can afford one. Sometimes police try to spin your story and make it seem like you were involved. With the help of a lawyer, you might also be able to create some leverage and get into a Witness Protection program if you fear your life.

Ummmmmmm......... im really scared 4 u......... U need to report that the the police......... immediately!!!!!!! I mean ASAP! Hurry up!

Although you are probably very scared of going to the police, i would strongly recommend you do. I think the police have witness protection units and would do all they can I'm sure to make certain no harms comes to you or your family. Think about the family of this murdered person, wouldn't they want to know the truth about who killed their loved one. Messy situation but do whats right hunny. Good luck.

Yes, go to your local police immediately and get into protective custody. The last think a murder suspect will want to do is leave a witness, especially if he knows you saw him and knows who you are. You will be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.

Yes, you need to tell law enforcement what you saw when you witnessed the murder. They can help protect you if you are in danger. Even if it was 1000 miles away.


wendy c
go to the law as fast as you can and tell them your story and that you are afraid for your own life, they should be able to help you

You will get 100% police protection. In the long run they will give you a false identity and move you to any country that you wish to start a new life, along with immediate family members.
