Travis Reinking once told law enforcement officers that the singer Taylor Swift had been harassing and stalking him — a delusion that authorities in Illinois said Reinking had had for years.

In 2017, the year before Reinking became the subject of an intensive police manhunt after a deadly shooting at a Tennessee Waffle House, officials said he went to a local pool wearing a pink dress and swam in his underwear while coaxing life guards to fight him. Soon after, he traveled to D.C., and tried to cross a security barrier near the White House, declaring himself a “sovereign citizen” who wanted to speak with President Trump.

Police reports dating to May 2016 offer a glimpse of what officials described as Reinking’s “mental problems.” The reports also reveal that, despite Reinking’s history, he was in possession of several firearms and a gun license in Illinois. His license was revoked and his firearms were confiscated after the incident at the White House last summer, but officials said the weapons later landed back in Reinking’s hands.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said Monday morning that “there have been no credible sightings” of the suspected gunman after an overnight search by local, state and federal law enforcement officers. Reinking, police said, was last seen Sunday morning in a wooded area behind his apartment, where he had been living for several months.

Late at night on May 26, 2016, an emergency response officer found Reinking at a CVS parking lot in Morton, where his family lives. Reinking believed that pop star Taylor Swift had been hacking his phone and that his family was involved in the harassment.
