This is William O’Reilly. My daughter lived with him for nine months in Manchester, NH. During that time, he took from her everything she knew. He took her phone, he made her delete her Social Media accounts, and the only time she could talk to me was on speaker phone, with him standing right there. She came to my other daughter’s house for a Christmas Eve party, and not for five minutes did he leave her alone. She could only stay about an hour.
He backed her into a corner everyday and called her names and belittled and screamed at her until she shook, and then called her a baby and gave her his Ativan. His family knew about this. They lived with his grandmother.
He caused a car accident, through road rage, in which he went through the windshield and she was hurt from the seat belt. He coerced and threatened her into lying, and saying that the other people caused the accident.
Last year in October, she called me from a gas station and asked me to pick her up, saying he had left her there. I couldn’t, but was going to send my brother. Then he showed up, and she said she was going with him. I asked if she was going to be safe, and she said he was going to bring her home. I heard him. He then made her call me, from the car, to tell me that she herself was a piece of shit, and that Billy was not the problem. That she had a lying problem, and needed counseling. She was crying, and he was screaming and yelling. I did not know what to do.
She called me from work the next day, and told me that she was afraid to go back there, he had driven her out on a back road and told her he was going to kill her. Then asked her if she wanted to come home to me, or go with him. She was afraid, so she went with him. I went and got her from work that day, before he had time to show up. He continued to call all night.
When she came home, she was severely distraught, and had PTSD. I had to hold her at night to keep her from shaking. I was afraid to leave her alone, and she was afraid to leave the house.
My daughter got a restraining order and filed criminal charges for threatening homicide in October of 2014. TEN months later, she was summoned to go to court as a witness in the Criminal threatening case. The public defender tried hard to make my daughter look like an idiot. The judge did not make a decision that day. I had my friend following me after court, in his car, because I was afraid that William would try to follow us. He did.
On Wendsday, July 29th, my daughter Alayna and I and her friend Bayshay were leaving the 10th district court in Derry where my daughter was a witness in a case against William O'Reilly for Criminal Threatening, against her. She has a restraining order against him. When we left the parking lot, Mr. O'Reilly’s car was still parked outside, and he was not in the parking lot, or behind us as far as we could see. We got on the highway heading North, towards Concord. I was driving the car. Somewhere near exit 8, I noticed William O'Reilly’s silver and black mustang in my rear view mirror, very close to my bumper. O'Reilly was driving, and there was a girl in the passenger seat. He pulled his car over into the right lane, so that his was directly parallel to my vehicle on the right. He leaned out the window and yelled something at my daughter, who was in the passenger seat, and then revved his engine quite a few times, very hard. He then slowed down, cut off an oil truck, and took a right onto exit 8, he was shaking his fist out the window.
A few minutes later, I looked in my rear view again, and noticed that O'Reilly was behind me in his Mustang again, one car back, since I had my boyfriend following directly behind me. He was swerving back and forth, and revving the engine so that we could hear it. My thought was that he was trying to get to us. I immediately pulled over behind a State Police Patrol car which happened to be parked on the side of the road. I got out of the car, looking for a trooper, and when I saw him behind some cones, flagged him over. My daughter was already on the phone with 911. We explained the incident to the trooper.
We were told that there was a warrant for his arrest for violation of the restraining order, but, a month later, William attempted to follow my daughter’s Intstagram account through His little brother. We reported this to the police, and he was finally arrested last night. He was let out on PR bail this morning.
He has been calling my daughter’s place of work all day under an anonymous number, and just breathing. We’re sure it’s him.
I want everyone to see this. So that if my daughter should disappear, or end up hurt, or worse, you will know who did it. You will also know that the Sate of NH did nothing to help us. Please, please, share this.
Addendum: I can’t express enough gratitude for all the kind things people are saying, for the sharing, for sharing my anger in this situation. I also want to say feel free to look up his criminal record. Everything I said here is true, and more. I also want to add, for all of you who keep asking where I was for 9 months…She was 18 years old. She wanted to go live with her boyfriend. There was absolutely nothing I could do about it. It’s easier to fool a person than to convince them that they are being fooled. As for my other daughter living somewhere ELSE and that means I have problems? She is 23 years old, and lives with her baby’s father. Yes, I’m a grandmother. Who’d of thunk it?
