Federal Investigator just knocked on my door

I just got a knock on my door from a person saying they are an investigator working with the FBI (she also flashed a badge). Apparently she was looking to gather information on a person who used to live next door to me whom I have never heard of in my life. She was on her way within 2 or 3 minutes of arriving.
I think my life flashed before my eyes when she flashed that badge. The second she said it was pertaining to somebody else my whole being just went "Oh thank god.."

this happens from time to time. occasionally the FBI will be looking into a long-lost neighbor or long-lost relative or acquaintance; occasionally some old friend of yours will be getting a clearance and will list you as a potential POC for either their (a) living, (b) employment, (c) or drug history.
even when a friend lists persons A, B and C as their "drug history" or "living" references, the investigator will go to all three people (A, B, and C) and ask them WHO ELSE they can contact for references regarding the individual under investigation. Then the investigator goes to those people (People D, E, and F) and asks them who THEY would recommend as a reference. It's prudent in these situations to list Person A, Person B, and Person C, and then to let them know in advance that they'll be contacted, and to give each of them a person (DEF) to list as another POC. That way the person under investigation can "close the loop" themselves, as opposed to having an ever-expanding web of people that are potentially being contacted.

Exactly this is standard police work.
I used to live across the street from a chop shop
Cars would go in there and never come out again.
They knocked on my door I told em I hadn't seen anything and goodbye
Never talk to cops your best defense is do not even open the door
