“We had to drive by his house often. We were going by on walks. Every time we passed by he was outside smoking a cigarette or would be standing there and would give us the creepiest unsettling looks […] and wave at us.”
In April, Lanz even broke into their house. He didn’t steal anything and didn’t harm anyone, but was still arrested. The police brought additional charges against Lanz for insulting police officers, nevertheless, he was later released.
