260. Her Neighbor's Obsession: Stalking Elizabeth

Elizabeth's first apartment as a new single mom started out as a fresh chapter. She quickly befriended the elderly couple next door, enjoying their company and support. However, everything changed when the couple’s adult son, who had recently moved in, began acting strangely after his parents left for the summer. What started as friendly behavior shifted into something more menacing. When Elizabeth confronted him, he became aggressive, and the situation spiraled into three years of relentless stalking and harassment. Despite moving, changing jobs, and even buying a new car, the man continued to track her and make threats. Elizabeth reported him to the police multiple times, but justice was never served—not for her or any of his other victims. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Fred's experience with his dog walker took a disturbing turn. Like many busy professionals, Fred had hired a dog walker to care for his pet during long work hours. However, when the arrangement didn’t work out, Fred decided to let him go. Instead of moving on, the man began stalking Fred in person and plastered harassing flyers around the neighborhood.

Amy's experience with a man she met on the Plenty of Fish dating app quickly turned into a nightmare. At first, he seemed like the perfect match, earning her trust and gaining access to her personal information and explicit photos. But once he had what he wanted, his behavior took a sinister turn.

Essie has been relentlessly stalked for over seven years by a woman who briefly dated her child’s father. After learning about Essie and the child, the woman immediately reached out to Essie, hurling insults and behaving aggressively. When Essie informed her ex about the incident, he ended the relationship with the woman. However, this only escalated the harassment. Since then, the stalker has continued to target Essie, forcing her to block dozens of social media accounts and phone numbers. The woman has even mimicked Essie’s tattoos, piercings, and hairstyle, posted racist content online, and secretly photographed Essie’s new boyfriend while he was at work. Despite filing reports with law enforcement, Essie’s efforts to stop the stalker have been unsuccessful, leaving her trapped in a years-long cycle of harassment. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

After Daphne ended a high school relationship, her ex-boyfriend began stalking her both in person and online. He even followed her to college, leaving notes on her car and tracking her movements. The harassment continued for nearly a decade, with him defaming her online and using mutual friends to find ways to contact her. When Daphne sought help from friends and family, many downplayed his behavior as a “heartbroken guy” acting out, which left her feeling isolated and unsupported. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?
