Kelly thought it was just another shift—until a customer she had never met asked for her by name. He wouldn't take no for an answer, pushing for her number and warning he'd just keep coming back. But it wasn't random. Kelly later learned he had been watching her online for weeks—studying her videos and tracking details until he found where she worked. She reported it. She took action. But the experience didn't end there—and it's changed how she lives her life.

Alissa was first stalked by a woman obsessed with her boyfriend — until the fixation turned on Alissa herself. What followed was relentless: fake accounts, rumors, and harassment that bled into every part of her life — from her relationships to her school and work. She did everything she was told to do. Documented it. Went to court. Got a harassment order. It still didn't stop. Now, in this update, Alissa shares what's happened since — and why, even with the system on your side, justice can still feel out of reach Share Your Story on the Show: [email protected] Our Sponsors QUINCE Go to https://www.quince.com/strictly for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

On this episode of The Last Trip, we're speaking with Carrie McGinnis and Dale Morrison, whose family vacation to the Dominican Republic ended in tragedy. In 2011, they planned a trip to Punta Cana — a rare chance for their whole family to travel together. They booked ten days at a beachfront resort.  Sun, warm weather, and time together as a family. At first, everything was exactly what they hoped for. Days by the pool, exploring the resort, and meeting other travelers.  Their 19 year old son, Jordan, quickly made friends — he was outgoing, well liked, and enjoying the trip. But late one night, everything changed. The resort called, there had been an accident involving Jordan.  When they arrived at the resort clinic, Carrie saw her son lying on a table, motionless.  Moments later, he was rushed into an ambulance as medics tried to revive him. But at the hospital, doctors delivered the news no parent should ever hear, Jordan Morrison was dead. Carrie and Dale talk about who Jordan was, what happened that night in Punta Cana,  and the long fight they endured searching for justice. And a special thank you to Carrie & Dale McGinnis, who bravely shared their story to help others.

Cody met her stalker through her small business—just another friendly customer, until it wasn't. The messages didn't stop. The visits got too close, too frequent, too intentional. What felt like a connection quickly turned into something obsessive… and controlling. And when Cody tried to walk away, it didn't end—it escalated. Because the truth about who this woman really was—and how far she was willing to go—made it clear this was never just a customer.

Megan Mitchell is an attorney who specializes in Title IX cases on college campuses, including stalking. While many people think of Title IX as addressing sexual misconduct, it also covers stalking—often in ways that are uniquely complicated. On close-knit campuses, shared classes, dorms, and social circles can make it nearly impossible for victims to avoid someone who refuses to respect boundaries. Today, Megan helps us understand how stalking shows up in the Title IX system—and why these cases can be especially challenging for students trying to feel safe at school.
