Storage Wars Star's Alleged Stalker Case Closed Without Charges

When Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets died by suicide in April at 67, questions immediately surfaced about what led to that tragedy. Fellow cast member Rene Nezhoda publicly claimed Sheets had been the target of a sustained cyberbullying campaign, sparking a police investigation that would uncover a genuinely unsettling trail of evidence—whispered phone calls, cryptic text messages, and hundreds of calls from around the world.

Now, newly released police records obtained by TMZ paint a picture of detectives working overtime to get answers. Cops in Lake Havasu City spent months digging through phones, interviewing witnesses, and chasing down bizarre communications. They found a handwritten note near Sheets’body that appeared to blame“Facebook bulling”(likely meant as“bullying”). They also uncovered a string of eerie messages, including one that simply read,“We having fun yet?”There were reports of Sheets receiving hundreds of daily phone calls, one of which connected him to someone whispering“50 thousand dollars”into the receiver.

The investigation centered on a specific person accused of harassment. That individual denied cyberbullying Sheets entirely but proved completely uncooperative with police—refusing to say where they were when Sheets died and insisting they’d been receiving death threats themselves. They claimed the two had simply had a falling out and denied ever entering Sheets’home.

In the end, prosecutors declined to file charges. The Lake Havasu City Attorney’s Office determined the case couldn’t move forward because Sheets was deceased and unable to testify. It’s a legal reality that underscores the limits of the criminal justice system when a victim can’t be present to support their own case—even when the paper trail suggests something deeply troubling happened.

The case remains closed, but the questions linger. What exactly was the nature of these calls and messages? Did they play a role in Sheets’mental state? We may never know the full story.
