Send it to the office, the staff are in right now.
That's true...part of the problem with being a global project is that not all of us are aware that there's an office or that the WMF even exists - and if we are, we may not be aware where it is or what time zone it is in, or what its office hours are.
I'm a bit surprised there was no response to this on IRC - has there been any yet?
#wikipedia-en collectively shrugged its shoulders when I tried to get more information, as has ANI. I'd like to contact the authorities myself, but I'm not an admin, and the critical information has reportedly been oversighted (!) already. I can't get a straight answer as to whether the police have been contacted yet, and I am >< thisclose to calling for sysop bits to roll, because I am going out of my mind with worry that we are botching this one royally and putting someone's life or safety in danger.
Has anyone on-list contacted the police or preserved the information so that I can pass it on?
