Gmail email user pretending to be a Lawyer - needs to be traced.

[compcowboy]

I`m an IT professional and a very close friend of mine has been setup by a deadbeat. This guy has a past of setting people up and then settling out of court in short, I'm not at liberty to disclose some information since I signed a non disclosure with my friend’s lawyer, but here is the bottom line.

Back on December 23rd, 2008, my friend got two emails from someone claiming to be a Lawyer by the name of Ron Grindle with a Gmail account no less. :-) In the email he offered an out of court settlement of $10,000 with a deadline of Christmas day and implying as this joker’s lawyer if he did not settle for this amount he would go for $100.000. Three days later Mr. Grindle sent another email extending the deadline to December 31 st. 2008.

I suggested to my friend to forward these emails to his lawyer and I would meet with his lawyer to discuss. Well it gets better. My friend’s lawyer emails Mr. Grindle and about 4 hours later, gets an email from Mr. Grindle`s client stating he has fired him. LMAO!!! In fact he stated he had very little information on HIS LAWYER including NO PHONE number, since he only correcsponded to him by email. lmao!!!

This guy needs to GO DOWN since there is no Ron Grindle practising law in Canada. Unfortunately, Gmail does not include header information showing the originating address, so I`m unable to track this sucker! I do have the IP of the address he used to reply to my friend’s lawyer using a hotmail account, so now I would like to be able this email came from a local address also.

Can anyone help me out with this and be able to trace these gmails If it means installing a program or using a different email client, we have one shot at replying to this Moron, so whatever it takes, if there is an option, I`d love to hear about it.

Below is the header info from the Gmail with personal information removed.
