He called about houses he never meant to buy. The agent came to the showing alone — that was the point. The county learned his name from a press release.

The Case
He didn't have to break into anything. He made a phone call — asked about a property, set a showing at a quiet place out past the edge of town, and waited for someone to drive out and meet him there. Alone. The house was empty. She came because that's the job.
For a long time, nobody connected the calls. That's not a figure of speech — we walked the Hunt County court records and laid the dates end to end. The same man. The same setup. A pattern sitting in plain sight inside the most ordinary transaction there is. Nobody connected it.
Episode 01 is the full chronology — the calls that never made the local news, the showings that should have been red flags, and the press release that finally told this county what had been happening behind its own for-sale signs.
This is the man who calls about a listing. The whole point of Wicked Neighbors is that we tell you the story you'd have heard about eventually — in pieces, secondhand — but here, told whole. Told first.
