Why dont you talk to the police? Surely they must know how to proceed. He clearly states that he has taken controll of the victims accounts, isnt that a indication he is "breaking and entering"? Bankaccounts? Creditcards? As far as i know that is illegal.
My next step would to "gang up" with the rightful owners/persons and go to the police.
Yeah iam going to do that. He is from Georgoia. I dont want to contact the police over here because they useless. im going to see if i can find an link on the net for Georgia's crime or police. I also emailed the newspaper in Georgia see what they can do.

Purely out of interest, what OS are these girls using? If it's the 'other one' then now might be a good time to diswcuss the virtues of our more secure one :-) If they are already using Linux then maybe they need the security tightening...just in case. call the local FBI they are supposed to be interested in stopping cyber crime, and IIRC there is a pretty good inet hacker tracker group in SLED .. which you might have access to.
You might also make certain the girls' computers aren't "leaking" info whenever they are online. Tighten controls , firewall etc , maybe put security to paranoid for a while.. and as someone said, if you can move them to our loving OS... there certainly are versions that will not even confuse them more than a couple of minutes before they are happily IRC-ing and whatever else ( IM, AOL, etc ) then you can really tighten down on whatever is leaking info. Psyco isn't psychic he's getting info off the computers, or he has broken into an ISP, or series of ISPs and is haveing way to much fun to be tolerated anyway. Even if it turns out to be a kid. BTW, don't underestimate the power of the Media. They LOVE this kind of story... As a last resort, it might be worth dealing w/ them.
