Other neighbors said they pointedly kept their distance from a man they nicknamed “Creepy Phil,” partly because he ranted about hearing voices from God, and because some knew that he was a registered sex offender. But they assumed parole authorities were keeping a close watch on their eccentric neighbor, who was convicted three decades ago of abducting and raping a casino worker in a Nevada warehouse that a former detective described as a “sex palace” for playing out his fantasies.
