295. Stalked and Framed: Pandemic Romance Leads To Federal Investigation

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. No matter how hard she fought, the lies only spread deeper. But when Ally finally dared to send a single message, it set off a chilling exchange that exposed the stalker’s true identity—and revealed just how far the obsession had gone.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] LinksAllyInstagram: www.instagram.com/allypeters22Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@allypeters7PLEASE VISIT OUR SPONSORS!Pluto Tvhttps://pluto.tv/us/hub/homeOTHER LINKSlovelustfear | hosted by Jake DeptulaApple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lovelustfear/id1735876283?uo=4Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0e3ndcf5u8lZ5lhN1lvWecAmazon Music | https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b06d0ea8-cb29-4c3a-98e6-0249d84df748Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lovelustfearpod/Submissions | https://lovelustfear.aidaform.com/lovelustfearThe Last Trip - Podcast - hosted by Jaimie BeebeListen & Subscribe to The Last Trip - https://audioboom.com/channels/5119581-the-last-tripFollow The Last Trip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/And Subscribe for all the updates on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcastInstagram:@strictlystalkingpod@feathergirl77@jaked3000See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bryan thought he was starting fresh when he moved to Hawaii during the pandemic and met someone on a dating app. Instead, his brief romance spiraled into a years-long nightmare. Her soon-to-be ex-husband wasn’t just lurking in the background—he was stalking them, bugging her phone, planting hidden cameras, and, according to the FBI, plotting to frame Bryan himself. As a cybersecurity expert, Bryan was ironically the one law enforcement suspected first. But after a federal investigation, the truth came out—the real stalker was exposed and sentenced to nearly eight years in prison. Now, Bryan reveals how he survived the emotional fallout, the toll it took on his relationships, and the red flags he wishes he hadn’t ignored.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] VISIT OUR SPONSORS!Delete MeToday get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/STALKING and use promo code STALKING at checkout.

Madison was just 23 when she moved across the country, chasing a fresh start in Florida. She thought a new job at a grocery store would be the beginning of something good. Instead, it became the start of a nightmare. A co-worker’s flirtation turned into obsession—hundreds of calls in a single night, constant stalking, and finally, a violent break-in where he claimed she belonged to him. When Madison went to the police for help, her pleas were dismissed. Years later, she’s still haunted by anonymous messages… and the fear that it’s not over.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] VISIT OUR SPONSORS!Progressive InsurancePress play on comparing auto rates.

Tabetha Harrison is one of the nation’s foremost experts on stalking—and she’s changing the way we understand it. A former law enforcement officer and investigator, Tabetha has dedicated her career to proving that stalking isn’t just a nuisance crime. It’s a dangerous form of coercive control—and one of the clearest warning signs before domestic violence turns deadly. Her work helped shape Texas Senate Bill 1717, reforming the state’s stalking laws to put survivors first. Today, she trains agencies on stalking lethality, risk assessment, and coordinated community response. With unmatched expertise and a clear, urgent message, Tabetha is sounding the alarm: stalking is a red flag no one can afford to ignore.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] VISIT OUR SPONSORS!ShopifySign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at SHOPIFY.COM/STRICTLYSTALKING to take your retail business to the next level.

Hyde’s childhood was torn apart when her mother became involved with a violent neighbor.  What followed was years of terror—stalking, threats, and even an attempted abduction from school.  Eventually, a vicious assault led to his arrest and a 12-year prison sentence. But the nightmare didn’t end there.  Even from behind bars, he found ways to torment them with threats—and chilling confessions that he was a serial killer. The weight of that trauma pushed Hyde into isolation as a teenager. But in time, she transformed her pain into purpose.  Today, after more than two decades working in shelters and youth advocacy, she’s dedicated her life to protecting the next generation of at-risk kids.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] VISIT OUR SPONSORS!Delete MeToday get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/STALKING and use promo code STALKING at checkout. QuinceGo to https://www.quince.com/strictly for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. Progressive InsurancePress play on comparing auto rates.

Bryce had a stalker—someone who knew her every move. But she didn’t even know his name. They never met in person. At least, not that she’s aware of. But he’s seen her. He’s watched her family. He’s studied her friends. She only knows what he wants her to know—starting with the one image he chose to send. What began as a harmless friendship in the world of online gaming soon spiraled into something much darker: a calculated obsession that would turn her life upside down.HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING? LET US KNOW:[email protected] VISIT OUR SPONSORS!Progressive InsurancePress play on comparing auto rates.

Alexis grew up in the shadows of neglect and abuse, with a stepmother whose control didn’t end when she left home at 17. Even from a distance, the stalking and manipulation continued — a relentless effort to keep Alexis under her thumb. But Alexis fought back in the quietest, most powerful way: by healing. Through somatic therapy and EMDR, she’s learning to calm her nervous system, reclaim her sense of safety, and rebuild trust in herself. Her journey hasn’t been easy — but it’s given her a sharp clarity. She now recognizes the red flags, holds her boundaries, and protects the peace she fought so hard to find. Today, Alexis is here to share her story — not just to speak her truth, but to let others know they’re not alone.**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence.
