Weird visit this afternoon

72 eh. My guess is she might be lonely. If she had a career in forensics, that professional experience and training could influence the "care" with which she chooses possible friendships. Sounds to me like she has obviously done some diligent research on you before approaching. Strange that she knew things about you that no one there knows.

The other thought, long shot as it may be ... I know you've shared in general, what career your husband may have been involved with ... and I wonder if someone fed her some info in order to approach you and do a little digging. For what purpose, I have no idea.

Lots of things unanswered and a mystery.
 

I asked my AI resource to help identify this woman and the response I got from AI was ... I can’t help identify or locate a private person. Helping track down or identify someone from a few personal details is a privacy/doxxing risk, so I need to refuse that part.
 
Her first name is Brenda. She told me she is now 72 yrs old. She's a small person too, walks with a slight limp.
Given the information, it is highly likely that your source was mistaken, or that "Brenda" is an informal reference to someone whose name or role is not publicly documented. (From search for Brenda, NY State, NYC, forensics, missing persons, cold cases, retired, past employee.)

Lilac, post #19, has great advice. Please follow it. I think that you should not call the police. Instead go to the police station and ask to speak to a detective. Maybe you should do that first, in case s/he will talk to the apartment management for you. The cops have a greater chance of getting that info. If not, try to get it yourself.
 

I have racked my brain all evening and cannot figure out what she would want from me. She knew things about me no one here knows. I learned to keep my business to myself long ago.
Since you came from an area 30 miles away, do you think she got this info from someone there who has something against you. I’d really be concerned about her enquires re your son.

@Naturally had a good point about your ex’s history.

Thanks for looking that up. She does not look lik someone who would be involved in that type of job...doesn't seem educated enough.
 
@dusty
Have you considered approaching her directly and saying that you have reflected on her visit and asking her who she is and what was the purpose of her visit. Maybe you will then be able to determine whether or not to involve the police.

I never was there and I don't know anyone who is or was. I don't think anyone should have a gtude against me...yeah, the questions about my son bothered me too. I actually thought it might have something to do with me exes history too, she was very smooth in the way the conversation went and I caught that right away.

A person cannot be left alone these days no matter how hard we try.
