Strictly Stalking

The Knife is a weekly true crime podcast from producers Hannah Smith and Patia Eaton. You might remember Hannah as the original host of The Opportunist! The Knife is a show about people who've been dropped into a story they didn't start, but are left to finish. In-depth interviews take the listener behind the punchy headlines to hear what really happened from the people who lived it. The Knife reveals the ripple effect of crime. Through empathetic, solution-oriented journalism, Hannah and Patia find the untold stories of people who've been touched by crime. Episode description: Patia and Hannah speak with Cassie, who attended a Halloween party at an Oregon State University fraternity in 2008. The night started with costumes, loud music and a crowded basement full of college students. By the end of the night, Cassie was in the ER, holding a bag that contained her bloodstained costume. She soon found herself in a police interview recounting what happened. The state brought charges, and the case went to trial. Cassie's story is a personal account of navigating the legal system after reporting a rape. She did everything "right" but still faced a long, painful process. Her experience echoes the questions we've wrestled with in high-profile campus sexual assault cases: What does justice actually look like?  Links: Apple Podcasts Spotify Instagram

When Joseph became the target of a cunning stalker, he had no idea who was behind it. The stalker was a master manipulator — framing others, spinning lies, and weaving himself deeper and deeper into Joseph's life, all while remaining unseen. By the time the truth came to light, the reveal shocked everyone. The stalker was finally arrested — but freedom only fueled his obsession. That's when a stranger named Matt entered the picture. At first, their lives had nothing to do with each other… until Matt uncovered something chilling: the stalker's own confession. What happened next would unravel the web of deceit, connect two men who had never met, and expose a relentless predator — bringing him, at last, to justice.

Ro is a mother, educator, and survivor whose world was shattered by not one, but two terrifying stalking ordeals. First, a stranger from her son's football club began sending threats — and eventually tried to run her child down with a car. Then came a neighbor, leaving sinister notes, watching her daughters, and trespassing onto her property. When the system failed to protect her, Ro was left to do it herself — fighting to keep her family safe and pushing for real change in Australia's stalking laws.

Molly is a licensed clinical social worker whose job turned into a nightmare when a client began stalking and terrorizing her. Despite early warning signs and escalating aggression, her pleas for help were dismissed by supervisors and law enforcement. The stalking intensified, leading to a violent workplace attack and a court-issued protection order. Years later, just as she thought it was behind her, Molly's stalker resurfaced - sending a threatening letter from Japan and triggering an FBI investigation. Forced out of the career she loved, Molly has rebuilt her life with heightened security and a new mission: to raise awareness, fight for therapist safety, and empower others to speak out when they feel unsafe.

Anne is a survivor of relentless stalking and harassment at the hands of her ex-partner. She reached out for help—police, social services, even family court—but every system meant to protect her failed. Dismissed as "not high-risk enough," Anne was left in limbo, while the threats and control continued, even after she left the relationship. Now, she is speaking out—to warn others, to reveal how quickly abuse can escalate to femicide, and to demand urgent change for survivors and their children.

Rebecca endured 33 terrifying weeks of stalking at the hands of a fellow student in her college acting class. Red flags were everywhere, threats escalated—but instead of protection, she was silenced. Title IX officials dismissed her, and her search for justice left her isolated, bullied, and retraumatized. Even after the stalking ended, the trauma lingered. Living with PTSD, Rebecca was repeatedly denied support simply because her stalker wasn't a former partner. Only through Cognitive Processing Therapy did she begin to reclaim her life. Today, Rebecca is using her voice to raise awareness, demand change, and fight so that no other survivor has to face the same failures she did.

For six years, Ally was hunted by a faceless predator—someone who stole her photos, her identity, even images of her friends and family, to lure victims into a web of deceit.
