I think I read the call was actually in Feb 2018, not this past February, if that makes a difference..
Now I’m seeing both 2018 and 2019 ...!?

“Coleman had a brief interaction with Providence police
about a week before Correia was kidnapped.
On the night of Feb. 17, he called police to report that someone was continually knocking on the door to his apartment on Chestnut Street in Providence, according to call logs provided by the department.
Coleman reported that the person wouldn’t answer when he asked who was there and that he was afraid to go outside, the logs show. Police responded but told him there was nothing they could do unless he felt threatened, according to the logs. No one who might have been knocking was located.” (BBM)

“PROVIDENCE — The Providence man accused of kidnapping
a Boston woman whose bruised and bound body investigators found in his car called police last year to report that someone was continually knocking at his apartment door.
The Providence police found a single report documenting an interaction with suspect Louis D. Coleman III.
According to the report, Coleman called the police
at 11:40 p.m. Feb. 17, 2018, to say he was afraid to leave his 95 Chestnut St. apartment because someone continually knocked but refused to respond when asked to identify themselves. Officers cleared the scene about 15 minutes later, determining that nothing could be done unless Coleman felt threatened, the report shows.” (BBM)

“PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -
Providence Police visited the apartment of murder suspect Louis Coleman in February 2018, one year before a Boston woman disappeared because he thought he kept hearing people knock at his door.
According to ‘a detail service log’ obtained by Target 12, Louis Coleman called police and told a dispatcher he can ‘hear someone continually knocking at the door.’
‘Says he will ask who it is, but the person won't answer,’ the dispatcher wrote in the log. ‘Afraid to go outside.’
[SBM]
This story was modified from its original to state police went to Coleman's apartment in February 2018, not February 2019.” (BBM)
Murder suspect was visited by police one year before Boston woman vanished
I like that Ms. Mulvaney’s article gives more details about the incident, such as the time of the call and the amount of the time LE spent at the scene. Her article says it happened in 2018.
The fact that Mr. White updated the article with a correction leads me to believe he double-checked the information (or someone inquired about it
). His article states it was in 2018.
Personally, I’m going with 2018 (for now anyway
).
