According to Alexander, conviction and death sentence of David Westerfield, for kidnap and murder of his seven year old neighbor, Danielle Van Dam, has caused anxious uneasiness to parents who are now seeking ways to protect their loved ones from suspicious persons who live in their own neighborhood with potential access to their family .

Additionally, abduction of Elizabeth Smart in Utah last summer has also caused much concern, when it was revealed that handyman who worked in Smart House was a career criminal. A background and criminal record check would have provided this information to Smart family and might have alerted them to potential dangers of bringing this man into their home and providing him access to their family.

This concern and effort to protect their family members have caused thousands to swarm to WhoisHe.Com and WhoisShe.Com, to find out more information on persons such as: Nannies, Day Care Providers, In-Home Health Care Workers, and others who provide home services, such as Gardeners, Painters, Contractors, House Cleaners, suspicious neighbors and anyone else who would have access to a person's home and their family.
