Getting the IP address of someone who stole my identity

May 17th, 2008

I have the yahoo id of someone who forged my identity online and sent an email to the police to make a death threat. The police won't investigate it and think it was me, but I found out the yahoo id the person who sent the email claimed.

Is there a way I can get the IP and find out who they are? I've contacted yahoo about a dozen times and they're finally letting me fax them with all the information but are taking way too long.

My life is being devastated by this as there are a lot of other consequences going on because of this, a wrecked relationship, someone close to me lost their job and is very hurt, and the stress on me is terrible.
