Hey guys, I'll make the long story short. I was in an online relationship. I was tricked into believing that the person was 17 male, living in seattle. He had pictures for proof. That was 5months ago, but recently the same person confessed that he is actually 24 year old Indian, who used someone else's pictures as his. Needless to explain I was devastated, but now that I'm calm and under control. I really want to find this guy in the picture. Not for any stupid reason, but just to hopefully inform him of what happened. And I feel a need to talk to him so I can let go of this traumatizing event. But forget about that, just please tell me if you know him. His real name might be Augustin. It's for sure that he studied in Seattle(not sure which college) and appears to be in his early twenties(as of the year 2011). The pictures here are of his childhood. I don't want to get the police involved. they won't care anyways, but how can I find this person?

Default Don't listen to freebird, bah humbug

I would try to figure out what school that is in the background... blow the photos up to try to see what is on those purple t-shirts. The middle pic looks like some kind of drama group... once you figure out the school, try to find info on the drama dept and see if you can find him that way.

Facebook is invaluable in these kind of searches, also. Maybe search for kids who went to school there. Also, are you 100% sure that these photos are recent? Chances are this guy took these pictures off of this poor guy's social networking profile and you can probably still find them on his (unfortunately public) page.

The photo has a Facebook filename that is tied to an account belonging to a John Fernandes. His profile is locked down, though. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002607851768 (broken link) Probably just the fake account that was being used, right?

The purple shirts in the first picture look like Garfield High School.

There's a difference between online stalking and research for the better good. And clearly you've mastered trolling.

If that was your child, you would want to know, not just have someone "let it go".

Thanks for the help and support And no those pictures were not recent but of his childhood years. The Indian guy told me he got it off of the owner's cell phone through bluetooth, while they were sharing media files. He claims that the person's number changed, so I can't contact him that way.
I hope to look more into this case when I graduate high school in the Spring. Other than that, I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I hope to find him one day. And again, thanks for the kind responses.

Moderator cut: see note


anyways, enough trying to educate the uneducated. Lilyw, just let it go. Even if you did find this guy there is not much he can do anyways. I am sure this Indian guy would just google some other pic to use.

It's definitely Garfield High School ... I recognize people in the stands. Not this year though ... more like 2009.
