  • He Knew Me Before I Knew Him: Stalking Heather
    Dec 23 2025

    Heather thought she'd met a friendly stranger on a bus—until he revealed he already knew details she'd never shared. Soon he was showing up everywhere she went, inserting himself into her relationships, and eventually following her across state lines. His obsession escalated from surprise encounters to love poems, rambling manifestos, and even a bizarre marriage proposal delivered with a jar of honey. Today, Heather shares how she realized this wasn't coincidence but stalking—and how she fought back to take her life back from his fantasy.

  • 309. Behind Her Music: Coles Whalen v. The Stalker
    Dec 16 2025

    Singer-songwriter Coles Whalen never met her stalker — but for more than six years, he was everywhere. Hiding behind anonymous accounts, a man sent thousands of messages, fixating on Coles's music, her personal life, and eventually her family. What began online escalated into a pattern of harassment that reshaped her daily life — forcing her to change routines, cancel shows, and live under constant fear. Coles eventually found herself at the center of a landmark legal battle — one that would challenge how the justice system defines stalking in the digital age.

  • 308. Thirty Years of Fear: Stalking Rhonda
    Dec 9 2025

    Rhonda met a patron at a local tavern. She never dated him, never gave him her number, never had any kind of relationship with him. But none of that mattered to him. He decided she was his, and he's been hunting her ever since. For more than thirty years, Rhonda has endured letters, threats, and sudden, terrifying appearances. And every time she went to the police for help, she heard the same response: "No—he hasn't hurt you." That was true until the day she finally fought back. But instead of arresting him, the police arrested her. What followed feels like something out of a movie—a train, a near-death moment, and even a diamond ring.

  • 307. Across State Lines: Stalking Claire
    Dec 2 2025

    Claire had barely settled into her new life across the country when the stalking began—launched by a woman she had never even met. A single DM spiraled into relentless messages, emails, and voicemails, each one proving her every online move was being monitored in real time. The harassment soon reached her workplace, and the interstate, fully virtual nature of the stalking made getting help feel impossible. Everything changed when a dispatcher finally recognized the severity of the evidence she'd been documenting, leading to an arrest warrant, an out-of-state arrest, and extradition. Now, Claire has ended the relationship, gone no-contact, and is rebuilding her life after the emotional and financial fallout.

  • Stalking, Psychology & Law Enforcement with Dr. Shiloh
    Nov 28 2025

    When it comes to stalking, obsession, and criminal psychology, few understand both sides like Dr. Shiloh. She's a California-licensed psychologist working with Los Angeles law enforcement on clinical support, crisis negotiation, and the psychological toll of the job. Before that, she was Officer Shiloh — a patrol cop, background investigator, and terrorism liaison. Now a forensic psychologist, she specializes in high-risk offenders and the minds behind violent crime, with over a decade studying why people cross the line and how victims can protect themselves. Today, she's here to break down how stalkers think — and what survivors need to know to stay safe.

  • 306. Hacked, Threatened, Stalked
    Nov 25 2025

    When Timothy divorced his ex-husband, he thought the nightmare was finally over. But it was only the beginning. The messages started first — threats that crept into every corner of his life. Then came the hacking, the impersonation, the total loss of privacy. And his stalker didn't stop with him. He went after Timothy's family, his friends… even tampered with his mother's medical care — determined to destroy everything that mattered. Now, Timothy is speaking out. He's sharing how his ex turned technology into a weapon — and how he's fighting to take his life back.

  • 305. "I Just Want Him to Leave Me Alone": Stalking Bailee
    Nov 18 2025

    For years, Bailee has been hunted by a man who refuses to let her go. He's torn apart her home, attacked her friends, and forced her child to grow up in constant fear. No matter how far she ran, he always found her. But Bailee refused to break. Now a wife and mother, she's still standing — proof that survival is stronger than obsession. Bailee is speaking out to set the record straight: stalking isn't about love, or persistence. It's about power, control… and the fight to stay alive.
