Kim Kardashian has upped her efforts in finding the unsolicited admirer who broke into her pal Emma Roberts' home.

"The Kardashians" star has been trying to get a permanent restraining order against Melvin Jeffery Conley, who she labeled a "stalker" in her protection filing.

To serve the obsessed fan with the necessary papers, Kim Kardashian enlisted a private investigator to track him down. However, his whereabouts remain unknown, forcing the court to grant the TV personality more time.

According to new court documents, Kardashian contacted Black Box Security Inc. to find Conley. The LA-based company's Director of Investigations, John Romero, submitted a declaration as part of the TV personality's petition for a permanent restraining order.

Romero, a former LAPD captain, explained that he was responsible for finding Conley and had gone the extra mile to track him down to no avail. He noted his efforts to find the alleged "stalker" began with sending a process server out to his mother's home in Sacramento.

However, Conley's mom allegedly told him that her son "is no longer residing there and is homeless in the Los Angeles area." Since the only known address linked to the obsessed fan was unsuccessful, Romero, per In Touch, stressed:

"I have attempted to locate and serve him by various methods. I attempted to reach Mr. Conley by telephone, and his phone went directly to the message, 'The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time.'"

The private investigator's efforts to find Conley continued with claims of him searching all prison databases and calling police in L.A. and surrounding counties. However, Kardashian's obsessed fan was nowhere to be found.

Given Conley's elusiveness, a judge granted Kardashian's request for additional time to serve him. The next court session is scheduled for November 1, but the permanent order hangs in the balance of finding the obsessed fan.

The Blast reported that Kardashian received her first extension to serve Conley earlier this month after her legal reps failed to locate him. At the time, the judge noted her temporary restraining order would remain effective.

The Man Broke Into Emma Roberts' Home

Kardashian's petition for the temporary restraining order was filed in August after Conley allegedly began harassing her. Her ties to the obsessed fan stemmed from his connection to her pal, Emma Roberts.

Conley broke into the actress's California residence in May while she was away and had the guts to call her cell phone from the home's landline. He allegedly told Roberts he was in her home and shared his plan to contact Kardashian.

Roberts secured her safety with a restraining order and warned her pal about Conley. But Kardashian never expected him to track her down the way he did; in her protection filing, she claimed his antics started at her mother's house.

Conley visited Kris Jenner's home, claiming to have an appointment. He allegedly told security he was a Toronto Raptors player and Kardashian was his "long-time manager." However, it wasn't enough to grant him entry.

After failing to enter Jenner's residence, Kardashian claimed Conley tracked down her hidden Malibu home. She stressed that the property was not easy to locate, nor was it publicized, yet the obsessed fan found her.

The reality TV star noted that he tried to scale the property's fence, but security found him before he made the jump. He allegedly declared his intention to hop over despite getting caught, causing Kardashian to worry about his boldness.

Conley's alleged antics continued, with Kardashian describing him as a "stalker" who caused her significant "worry, concern and severe emotional distress." She asked for the restraining order to be extended to her family, keeping him away from them.

Before Conley, The Blast shared that Kardashian had filed for a restraining order in 2022. Per her legal documents, she was harassed by a man who frequently lurked outside her home.

The man allegedly showed up at Kardashian's home three times, telling security he was there to meet her for business. Although he was asked to leave, that did not stop him from returning with a gun.

The TV personality further claimed that the unsolicited admirer followed her out of state after failing to gain entry into her residence. He not only tried to access her hotel in New York but also contacted the realtor who worked with one of her sisters.

Will Kim Kardashian be able to track down the elusive obsessed fan and obtain a permanent restraining order?
