Kim Kardashian Using P.I. to Track Down ‘Homeless’ Alleged Stalker Who Showed Up at Her Malibu Home
Kim Kardashian revealed she used a private investigator and former LAPD captain to track down the alleged stalker who showed up at her Malibu mansion, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Kim, 43, utilized the services of LA-based Black Box Security Inc. to find Melvin Jeffery Conley.
John Romero, who works at Black Box Security as the Director of Investigations, submitted a declaration as part of Kim’s effort in court to obtain a permanent restraining order against Melvin.
The investigator told the court that he was put in charge of locating Melvin.
He said that he sent a process server out to Melvin’s mother’s home in Sacramento, but his mom told them that he “is no longer residing there and is homeless in the Los Angeles area.”
“Since service attempts at Mr. Conley’s mother’s house (the only known address associated with him recently) proved unsuccessful, I have attempted to locate and serve him by various methods,” John said. “I attempted to reach Mr. Conley by telephone and his phone went directly to the message, ‘The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time.’
The private investigator said he searched all jail databases and called police in L.A. and surrounding counties — but has had no luck finding Melvin.
A hearing was held on September 20, where the judge granted Kim’s request for additional time to serve Melvin.
The next court hearing was scheduled for November 1.
The temporary restraining order that Kim was granted will still be in full effect.
As In Touch previously reported, in August, Kim filed her petition in Los Angeles Superior Court, pleading for protection for her and her children, North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West.
The entertainer listed Melvin as a “stalker” in her filing and said she needed protection from the man.
She told the court, “Melvin Jeffrey Conley is a stalker. I have no relationship whatsoever with him.”
Kim said she first heard of Melvin when her friend Emma Roberts warned her about a man who had broken into her home and told her about his desire to make contact with Kim.
“I am informed and believe that my security, with the assistance of [Emma], was able to make contact with this man by telephone. During that call, the man admitted entering [Emma’s] home without her permission,” the petition read.
The court granted Emma, 33, a restraining order against Melvin earlier this year.
Kim said her team believes Melvin showed up at her mom Kris Jenner’s pad on May 9. He was blocked by her security team. She said on July 8 he showed up at the perimeter fence of her Malibu home looking to make “contact.”
“One of my security agents formed the opinion that [Melvin] was preparing to jump the fence. I am informed and believe that Mr. Conley admitted to my security that he was, in fact, planning to jump the fence. He also reiterated some of the false statements he had previously made,” Kim said.
“The location of my Malibu home has not been publicized, nor is it easy to find. The fact that [Melvin] was able to learn the address of my Malibu home and that he was motivated to travel to my home from his home in Sacramento (as my security learned and relayed to me) demonstrated the lengths to which he was (and presumably still is) willing to go to make contact with me and my children,” Kim continued. “I have suffered and continue to worry, concern and severe emotional distress. I am particularly troubled that Mr. Conley would have had to go to extreme lengths to learn where my Malibu home is located.”
“I am concerned that without a restraining order in place, Mr. Conley will continue to attempt to contact me which may lead to violent conduct toward me and my children,” she ended.

FK: diddy parties FULL BODY: Before federal investigators discovered his “freak-offs,” Diddy predicted he would get arrested for hosting parties in a recently resurfaced interview from the 90s. “They won’t even give me a permit for the parties, they don’t want me to throw the parties no more,” Diddy, 54, told ET in a resurfaced interview from 1999. “We ain’t gon stop, we gonna keep having fun, bringing people together from all walks of life.” Diddy boasted about his luxurious parties, claiming they were so extravagant that authorities would eventually shut them down. “You gon hear about my parties …. They gon probably be arresting me. Doing all types of crazy things because just cause we wanna have a good time,” he explained. “You know, whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. So there’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.” When asked how he felt about throwing parties regarded as the "hottest ticket in town," Diddy said it "didn’t make him feel any way special." “It doesn’t make me feel like a bigger person,” the Bad Boy founder replied with a smile. “It just makes me feel like I know how to throw a party.” Diddy’s comments come more than one week after he was arrested on September 16 in a New York City hotel room by Homeland Security and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pled not guilty the following day in court and was held without bond after the grand jury’s indictment was unsealed. The indictment accused Diddy of orchestrating and manipulating women to take part in "Freak Offs," meticulously planned events involving sexual activities with female victims and male commercial sex workers, dating from 2009 to the present. The filing said Diddy’s team and assistants were responsible for booking hotel rooms for “Freak Offs” and sex workers were allegedly often transported across state lines. Diddy “arranged, directed, masturbated during” and often filmed the “Freak Offs,” according to the indictment. Since his arrest, footage of A-list celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber discussing or attending Diddy’s parties have resurfaced across social media. In addition, a Grand Jury alleged that the “Last Night” artist had abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to “fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.” “To do so, [Diddy] relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.” The arrest came after a months-long investigation, which included raids in March on Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami, Florida. During the searches, authorities "seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant," as detailed in the official paperwork. Diddy appeared in court on September 18 and offered his $48 million Miami home and his mother’s house as collateral in an appeal against the bond denial. His request was denied by the judge after federal prosecutors argued that the celebrity needed to be kept in custody.
