''Harassment'' US Mail, E-Mail and Phone Messages
Upon hearing about a relationship a former friend did not approve of, she went into a rage and began contacting me in a series of threatening and angry messages (via mail, e-mail and phone messages). She fabricated a story that indicated I had broken into her home and stolen from her, and to this day (more than 6 monthes since the incident) still sends me ''Just A Tip'' anonymous complaints. I have saved everything. I believe she is now sending me info, newspaper clippings etc. about losing weight. There is no return address, is there anything I can do?

I concur with Mr. Hanlon's message. I would also consider contacting the local police. They may be unwilling to get involved in such a situation, but if you "pester" them, they will more likely get involved.
Re: ''Harassment'' US Mail, E-Mail and Phone Messages
There is a civil action for harrasment
You may recover both monetary damages,
and punitive damages
You may also seek an injunction in such
action
There is only a one year statute of limitation
so the time is running out
The biggest problem you have is proving that
he/she is sending the items. There is
some circumstantial evidence, but it still
does not tip the scales in either direction
More is needed.
Retain counsel who knows evidence and is willing
to discuss this
