What official investigations or police reports have been publicly confirmed regarding Sascha Riley’s testimony?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Publicly available reporting shows that William “Sascha” Riley has given recorded testimony that has been posted and circulated online and that several writers and threads assert Riley contacted law enforcement and the FBI and filed local police reports, but the sources provided do not include independently published police or FBI reports or an authenticated government statement confirming open investigations tied to Riley’s account [1] [2] [3].
1. What the sources say Riley reported to authorities
Multiple posts and long-form accounts state that Riley contacted the FBI, filed local police reports, and took his testimony to an Oversight Committee, and that his raw audio was published by journalist Lisa Noelle Volding on Substack—claims repeated in social threads and the Volden Substack description [2] [1] [3]. Several commentators and a Substack writer summarize Riley’s account and say that his story references prior interaction with military investigators, CPS, and FBI reports, and even a military court-martial of a soldier found with child pornography allegedly depicting Riley and a murder victim [4] [3].
2. What has been publicly produced or posted online
What is publicly accessible in the materials cited is Riley’s recorded testimony as posted unredacted by Lisa Noelle Volding and derivative timelines and summaries created by readers and independent writers; those audio files and the timelines are the concrete, public artifacts referenced across sources [1] [3]. Social posts and Substack pieces extract details from that testimony and point to supposed supplementary documents—CPS reports, FBI reports, military records—but the links in the provided reporting mainly point back to Riley’s testimony and the author’s claims about additional evidence rather than to independently released official records [3] [4].
3. Claims of specific police reports and investigations, and their provenance
At least one account summarizes Riley saying there were “four police reports” related to alleged attempts on his life by family members and describes a separate murder investigation triggered by neighbors hearing screams, but these descriptions are presented as elements of Riley’s testimony and as reporting by writers synthesizing that testimony, not as copies of public police reports or official press releases [4]. Similarly, assertions that FBI reports and other agency files exist are made by the journalist publishing the testimony and by commentators who say much of the corroborative evidence can be obtained via FOIA or investigator requests, but the provided sources do not attach or publish those agency records themselves [3].
4. What is confirmed versus what remains unverified
What can be stated as confirmed from the supplied materials is that Riley’s testimony was recorded and posted by a journalist and that commentators and writers claim Riley reported his allegations to law enforcement and the FBI [1] [2] [3]. What is not confirmed in these sources is the public release or independent verification of the actual FBI files, local police reports, CPS records, or military investigative documents referenced—none of the provided items reproduce those official records or quote agency spokespeople asserting active, corroborated investigations tied to Riley [3] [4].
5. Alternative viewpoints, possible agendas, and limits of the record
The material shows two competing pressures: a strong wave of belief and advocacy that centers survivor testimony and calls for forensic follow-up (visible in social posts and advocacy Substacks) and, on the other hand, a lack of publicly produced official paperwork in the cited reporting, which creates a legitimate demand for documentary confirmation and for independent agency statements; readers and reporters should note that the sources (social posts, Substack essays) have activist and investigative agendas that amplify the testimony and assert suppressed corroboration without publishing the underlying records they reference [2] [4] [3].
6. Bottom line for researchers and journalists
Based on the reporting provided, the only publicly confirmed artifacts are the recorded testimony itself and secondary timelines and analyses derived from it; claims that Riley filed FBI and multiple police reports and that there exist supporting CPS, FBI, and military records are repeatedly asserted by the journalist and commentators but have not been independently produced or linked in these sources, leaving the status of official investigations or police records publicly unverified in this record [1] [3] [4]. Investigative next steps would be targeted FOIA requests, direct queries to named agencies, and seeking the specific police-report numbers or agency confirmation that the reporting indicates exist—actions the current sources say are possible but have not yet publicly documented [3].
