Things need to be done in a manner of chain of command.To anyone who has been a victim of Patty, Starlita, Jamie, Gimp.....
I recommend as a starting point filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center:
www.Ic3.org
Irregardless of your location, file a local police report.
Then file a police report with her known address.
The IC3 link is a great idea and useful for tracking.
If in the US, you should also look into filing a report with you State Attorney General's office.
If outside the US, you should file a complaint with you countries cybercrime division.
The UK's cybercrime group was instrumental in securing 19 domains for me that the seller did not transfer for over 140 days.
You should have everything prepared before hand. Have all records. Be concise and put in a chronological order that can be easily followed. Stick to the points and do not offer opinions. You want to do as much as you possibly can to make an investigators' task easier and without needing back-and-forth fill in the blanks conversations.
Seriously. File a complaint with local authorities, state and national level agencies. Data like this is tracked and used for trending crime - data that can be useful in passing new laws regarding cyber crime.
