A stalker is an individual

0:02

who feels like they're entitled to another

0:04

person's attention and and

0:06

come into anyone's life in a variety of

0:08

ways. My BNX

0:11

lover who just can't move on. It

0:13

could be a coworker or acquaintance, sickly

0:16

unsatisfied with just a photonic

0:18

relationship I really wanted

0:20

to take things up a notch. Or

0:24

and this is the one that's most terrifying. It

0:26

could be a random person that by some

0:28

twist a wicked fate you

0:30

capture the attention of. There

0:33

are five creepy and terrifying Stalker

0:36

stories. Number

0:39

5, Sophie Walker. According

0:44

to the data, stalking is one of the many

0:46

forms of abuse that one in five

0:48

women and one in ten men experience in

0:51

a lifetime. While we

0:53

often think as stalkers as a person seeking

0:55

validation for their feelings, this

0:57

isn't always the case. In

1:00

London, Sophie Walker has

1:02

been working on the rights and protection of

1:05

women. Twenty

1:07

fifteen, she founded the women's equality

1:09

party or WEP. And

1:11

one of her advocacy was

1:13

the registration of stalkers as

1:15

grave criminal offenders similar

1:18

to that of sexual predator. And

1:21

this came to be when one of the WEP

1:23

supporters Same singer,

1:25

Lily Allen, asked for help with regards

1:28

to her horrifying stalking ordeal. English

1:32

singer had a very frightening experience of

1:34

being harassed by a perpetrator for seven

1:36

long years. Culminated

1:39

when her stalker broke into her home,

1:42

screaming at her while he carried a knife.

1:45

Luckily, nothing terrible happened in

1:47

light of these gruesome incidents. Walker,

1:50

Alan, and the rest of the were campaigning

1:53

for authorities to take Stalker's more

1:55

serious before more incidents

1:57

like this could occur. And

2:00

Sofia did get some support in her campaign,

2:02

but Not everyone agreed with

2:04

her. And those who didn't like it

2:06

further showed her more reason. Why

2:09

in fact this legislation needed

2:11

to be passed? His

2:13

enabled twenty twenty walker found her

2:16

car tires slashed. At

2:19

first, thought it was just some people venting

2:21

out their disappointment over the nationwide

2:23

COVID-nineteen lockdown, but

2:25

then it happened again. And this

2:27

time, the woman and her husband knew that

2:29

they were being targeted. They

2:32

contacted authorities and installed security

2:35

cameras, but this didn't deter

2:37

the attacker at all because a few

2:39

days later, their family dinner

2:41

was cut short when their back fence

2:43

was lit on fire. As

2:46

quickly put out, but surprisingly, investigators

2:50

didn't believe her suspicion that she

2:52

was being targeted and stopped. The

2:55

following day flames yet again engulfed

2:57

their property, and this time it was much

2:59

bigger and destroyed her children's

3:01

playhouse, the garden, fans, and nearby

3:04

trees. Now,

3:06

fearing for the lives of her daughters, she

3:08

sent them off to stay with relatives while

3:10

the couple remained at the house and stayed up

3:12

all night. And

3:14

nothing happened, but two days after that,

3:17

they heard a loud crash in the front of their

3:19

house. Their

3:21

attacker had just thrown a brick through their

3:23

living room window. Their

3:26

newly installed CCTV picked

3:28

up an image of a man wearing a hood,

3:31

and called on the police to then rushed to

3:33

catch the perpetrator. The

3:36

man whom walker saw many times

3:38

was arrested, but was later

3:40

released on bail and fear once

3:42

again returned for the walkers. Less

3:45

than a week after getting out, the stalker gained

3:48

access to their roof. Lease

3:50

intervened and the man was arrested,

3:52

but the same thing happened and he got out again

3:54

on bail. It

3:57

was really only when Walker decided to seek

3:59

the public's help, but the police decided

4:01

that this could be more than just a harassment

4:03

case. Was able to

4:05

get her restraining order filed against her stalker,

4:07

and this meant, but he could be charged with

4:09

felony charges, the amenity set foot

4:11

near her property. The

4:14

peace may have finally returned to the walker

4:16

household, but the trauma drawn

4:18

out from all those horrifying moments should

4:20

be enough to help her get that legislation

4:23

passed. Number

4:27

four, Pria Darshini Mato.

4:32

The murder case of Priyadarshini Mato

4:36

is one of the most controversial criminal

4:38

cases to ever occur in India, But

4:42

after receiving her bachelor's of commerce

4:44

degree, Matt too immediately

4:46

applied and was accepted at the stige's

4:48

Delhi University where

4:50

she took an undergraduate law degree

4:52

course. The twenty

4:54

five year old was already in her third year

4:56

when she seriously caught the attention

4:58

of Santosh Singh,

5:00

who was also a student at the

5:02

university. And

5:05

mister Saying would try his luck,

5:07

chatting her up and trying to take her out,

5:09

but Matt too always refused. But

5:13

the smitten suit her didn't take

5:15

too well to rejection at all.

5:17

He slowly began stalking her,

5:19

following her wherever she went. Now

5:22

this went on for the entire year of nineteen

5:24

ninety five and it came to a point

5:26

when the woman decided to formally file a

5:28

complaint to police. The

5:31

Lordy's dead provider with a personal

5:33

security escort, but even

5:35

then, this did not deter sing.

5:39

Eventually, his extreme obsession

5:41

developed into something more malicious. On

5:45

January twenty third nineteen ninety six,

5:47

The security guard at the house where

5:49

Matt too was staying, found the

5:51

law student's body lifeless, and

5:53

covered in her own blood. The

5:56

victim had been sexually assaulted and

5:59

her face battered repeatedly with a

6:01

motorcycle helmet. Who's

6:03

then ultimately killed by being strangled

6:05

to death with a wire. It

6:08

didn't take long to find the perpetrator

6:10

because a witness reportedly saw Santosh

6:13

entering the property shortly before her

6:15

death. He was subsequently

6:17

arrested and then charged with Matthew's rape

6:19

and murder. Justice,

6:22

however, was not easy to achieve for the

6:24

victim's family because Santosh came

6:27

from an influential family. So

6:30

his father was at that time, the

6:32

inspector general of police in the

6:34

province. And during the course of the

6:36

investigation, and the same man served

6:39

as the joint commissioner of police in

6:41

Delhi. A series

6:43

of trials took place and to

6:45

the surprise of everyone, In nineteen

6:47

ninety nine, the court decided that Santosh

6:50

was most likely the man to have committed

6:52

the crime, but still they had

6:54

to acquit him because they were not one hundred

6:56

percent certain. This

6:58

verdict was met with much anger from

7:00

the public, but the family

7:02

of the deceased didn't give up and continued

7:04

to make appeals over the decision.

7:08

And then in two thousand six, finally,

7:10

the initial verdict was reversed,

7:12

and Santosh was sentenced to

7:14

death. Manette,

7:17

such as the extent of his family's power

7:19

and influence, but despite the brutality

7:22

of his crime, they were able to

7:24

dissuade the court to commute his

7:26

sentence to life in prison in

7:28

twenty ten instead. Number

7:33

three, Mary Stauffer. Having

7:37

a crush on someone is very much a

7:39

normal thing especially among teenagers,

7:43

Mink sen Shu was a boy who

7:45

felt butterflies in his stomach every

7:47

time he saw Mary Stauffer. However,

7:51

His infatuation developed into something

7:53

very intense and something horrible

7:55

unfolded. Originally

7:58

born in Taiwan, shoe immigrated

8:00

to Minnesota where he grew up.

8:04

Even at a young age his family could attest

8:06

to his violent tendencies as he was

8:08

often caught beating his siblings.

8:12

His delinquent behavior worsened during

8:14

his teenage years, where he was

8:16

accused of starting fires on other people's

8:18

property. It was also

8:20

once reprimanded for throwing rocks at

8:22

passing cars. Then

8:26

between the years of nineteen sixty five

8:28

and six sixty six, something interesting

8:30

happened in his life. While

8:32

attending Alexander Ramsay High

8:34

School in Rosebel he

8:36

developed a crush on his ninth grade

8:38

math teacher, Mary Stauffer.

8:42

As eventual confession any

8:44

reveal that his infatuation had grown to

8:46

something that would have him sexually fantasizing

8:48

about the teacher. It would often write

8:50

stories about having sex with the woman.

8:54

Later years, though, after so many

8:56

days of longing for her touch,

8:58

she realized that his fantasies

9:01

weren't enough At all costs, he

9:03

had to make them a reality. And

9:06

so in nineteen seventy five, long after

9:08

he finished schooling, He went

9:10

to a home in Duluth where he thought his

9:12

ex teacher lived. He

9:15

broke into that house and

9:17

confused and scared he attempted to kidnap

9:19

a person and held everyone else there

9:21

captive. But

9:23

because it was a wrong house and the wrong person,

9:26

the young man eventually just walked away

9:28

from the scene and surprisingly, the

9:30

crime was never reported. His

9:34

target was actually in the Philippines at the

9:36

time of their family. They

9:38

were in country to work as Christian

9:40

missionaries and eventually returned to

9:42

Minnesota in nineteen seventy nine,

9:44

oblivious to the kidnapping attempt.

9:48

Shoe soon learned about their return. And a

9:50

year later, the former student began to

9:52

stalker at her residence, on the

9:54

Bethel University campus in Arden

9:56

Hills. And so

9:58

on May sixteenth nineteen eighty, fifth

10:01

teen years after he first saw his

10:03

math class teacher. The

10:05

Taiwanese American followed

10:07

Stauffer and her eight year old daughter Elizabeth

10:09

to a salon. As

10:12

soon as they left the establishment, Meng

10:14

quickly approached the pair and kidnapped them

10:16

at gunpoint. Stauffer

10:18

and her girl were then both tied up

10:20

and forced him to trunk the woman's

10:22

car. The kidnapped

10:25

bird drove away quickly, but soon after

10:27

he was forced to stop because his

10:29

captives were making too much noise.

10:31

And I stroke a very bad

10:33

luck. A six year old boy named

10:35

Jason Wilkman was nearby the car when he

10:37

pulled over. When a

10:39

woman approached the vehicle when he saw what

10:41

was happening and not wanting to blow his

10:43

cover, she grabbed the boy and

10:45

threw him into the trunk as well. He

10:49

then drove further to a national

10:51

forest. And when he stopped, he pulled the boy out

10:53

and beat him to death with a metal

10:55

rod. After that, he took

10:57

the stoppers back to his home.

10:59

The horrors continued

11:01

at his house And Schuh finally

11:03

exacted his depraved fantasies

11:05

by raping his former teacher

11:07

several times. In

11:10

captivity, the mother and daughter were separated

11:12

from one another. Elizabeth

11:14

was kept in his van while Mary was

11:16

left, locked in a closet inside

11:18

the residence. To discourage

11:21

any escaping attempts, he threatened

11:23

that he would kill the stopper's husband and

11:25

son if they ever dared to do anything. Redemption,

11:29

though, finally came on July seven two

11:31

months after the kidnapping occurred.

11:34

Soon as Schuh left for work, Mary

11:36

removed the hinge pin from the

11:38

closet door where she was kept. Despite

11:41

being changed, she was able to reach the phone and call

11:43

the police. Meng

11:45

was arrested at his workplace and

11:48

kept in custody. During

11:50

his subsequent trial, she still

11:52

wasn't safe. The accused

11:54

somehow managed to smuggle a knife into the

11:56

courtroom, which he used to slash Mary's

11:58

face with while she testified. A

12:02

dangerous sexual predator, a kidnapper,

12:05

murderer, she was ultimately sentenced

12:07

to a total of seventy years in prison.

12:10

The stopper's harrowing ordeal.

12:12

Since become an inspiration for

12:15

several works, including a book, a

12:17

TV series, in a movie. It

12:19

was Mary's hope that their story

12:21

would help heal those who fell victim to

12:23

criminals, just like

12:25

Ming Xu. Number

12:29

two, doctor Jan Falkowski and

12:32

Deborah Pemberton. What

12:36

makes a stalker so dangerous is

12:38

their unbridled obsession with their victim.

12:41

It could be so strong

12:43

that they have blinders on and don't care

12:45

about the consequences of their actions. In

12:49

two thousand one, forty five

12:51

year old Maria Marchezzi met

12:54

for the first time doctor Jan Fekauski,

12:56

a psychiatrist who was

12:58

treating her then partner. She

13:02

became instantly infatuated. After

13:04

getting a hold of his contact numbers and

13:06

address, Marchez then

13:08

began to stalk. would

13:11

constantly call him, write him letters, and

13:13

even visit him at his office. She

13:16

went on to claim that they were born

13:18

for each other and meant to be together.

13:22

Pokowski's relationship with his then

13:24

fiance, Debra Pemberton, was

13:26

severely affected as the Stalker continued to

13:28

terrorize the doctor, Aside

13:31

from the incessant calls, texts, and

13:33

emails, Marchezet would also make

13:35

death threats to Pemberton As

13:37

a result, the couple's wedding was called off in

13:39

two thousand three. But

13:42

the harassment certainly didn't end there.

13:45

And after successfully ending

13:47

Fokoskie's relationship with Pemberton,

13:49

Marchez's goal was to damage his name

13:51

and reputation. And she

13:54

did so by using the doctor

13:56

rape. Sometime

13:59

during that year, woman had stolen

14:01

a condom from the man's trash

14:03

and then spilled his cement on her

14:05

panties. And for over a year, the

14:07

psychiatrist lived under the inspection

14:09

from authorities. And

14:12

then five days before it was

14:14

due for trial. His defense

14:16

team was able to convince the court finally,

14:18

that he was framed. After

14:22

everything that happened, his engagement

14:24

broken, his profession ruined,

14:26

and his name destroyed. Doctor Fekauski

14:29

finally got the justice he deserved. In

14:32

two thousand seven,

14:34

Marchezet was sentenced nine years

14:36

in prison after she was found

14:38

guilty of unleashing terror on

14:40

the poor doctor's life. Number

14:45

one, Laurie Shoe. The

14:49

story begins with two sixteen year old

14:52

best friends Lori Shoe

14:54

and Lisa Lambert. The

14:57

tour students at Conestoga Valley High

14:59

School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Their

15:02

friendship suffered a strain

15:04

when Lambert became unreasonably jealous

15:06

of show because she

15:08

thought that she was after her on and

15:10

off again boyfriend Laurence

15:12

Youngkin. Youngkin

15:15

and Anne show dated for a little while when

15:17

he and Lambert weren't together

15:19

over one summer, but They fell

15:21

off when a young man sexually assaulted

15:23

her. Ian Lisa

15:26

got back together shortly after,

15:28

and then she got pregnant with his

15:30

child. Laurie, meanwhile,

15:32

lost complete interest with this guy at this

15:34

point, but still the expected

15:36

teenager remained paranoid and

15:38

jealous of her former friend. The

15:41

Lambert decided to devote her time and

15:43

energy into doing the only thing she could think of

15:45

to remedy the situation. And

15:47

that was to ruin Lori's life.

15:50

It started with her

15:52

making obscene phone calls and openly

15:55

threatening the victim whenever she was in

15:57

public. Well, his mother

15:59

Hazel intervened and filed

16:01

assault charges against Lisa, but

16:03

it did little to stop the attacks.

16:06

On December twenty first, nineteen ninety

16:08

one, missus Schoe received a phone call

16:10

from what appeared to be a guidance

16:12

counselor. And she was asked to drop

16:14

by school for a meeting about her

16:16

daughter. But all of

16:18

that was fake and really part of

16:20

Lisa's plan to make sure Lori would be

16:22

home alone and vulnerable. After

16:26

arriving at school and realizing

16:28

she had no meeting with any guidance

16:30

counselor, Hazel Harvey Lee went

16:32

back home to check on her child, but

16:35

nothing could have prepared the mother for

16:37

what she was about to find. Inside

16:41

she discovered Lori lying in a pool

16:43

of blood, the throat

16:45

slashed and her chest stabbed

16:47

several times. In the

16:49

midst of the commotion, the dying victim,

16:51

managed to utter her last words,

16:54

Michelle did it. Michelle

16:56

is Lisa's middle name. Remember

16:59

it was immediately arrested

17:01

along with female accomplice named town

17:03

of the Buck. Youngin

17:06

meanwhile was also knab for dropping the two

17:08

girls off at shows house. The

17:11

male suspect opted to testify against

17:13

the two. Apparently Buck was the

17:15

one who slashed Lori's throat. After

17:18

that, she and Lisa took turn stabbing

17:21

her For his testimony,

17:23

he received a lesser sentence while

17:25

the girls received life without the possibility

17:28

of parole. This tragic

17:30

incident prompted Hazel showed a campaign

17:32

for Pennsylvania's anti stocking

17:35

laws. The law which took

17:37

effect in nineteen ninety three

17:39

indicated that anyone accused of committing such

17:41

a horrific act may face

17:43

felony charges of the third degree.
