On October 21, 2025, the Eureka Police Department’s School Resource Officer (SRO) was made aware
of a potential stalking and online baiting incident involving female students at Eureka High School
(EHS) through the Snapchat social media platform.
Preliminary information indicates a male subject has been attempting to befriend young female
students online, with the apparent intent of meeting in person to engage in inappropriate and
potentially criminal behavior.
The Eureka Police Department, in partnership with Eureka City Schools, is actively investigating this
incident.
Parents and guardians are urged to remain vigilant and to monitor their children’s use of social media
and online communications. Unmonitored use of these platforms can expose youth to individuals
who may seek to exploit or harm them.
Anyone with information related to this investigation is encouraged to contact the Eureka Police
Department’s School Resource Officer or the Criminal Investigations Unit at (707) 441-4300.
