274. When Romance Turns To Fear: Stalking Lauren

Lauren thought she’d found a connection during lockdown. Instead, she met a predator. What began as an online romance through Facebook Messenger quickly turned into a stalking nightmare. After assaulting another woman, he manipulated his way into Lauren’s life—then the threats began. He stalked her relentlessly: leaving items on her car, sending photos of her home, and accusing her of cheating. Even from behind bars, he continued to terrorize her through cyberstalking and threats. After a third, violent assault, Lauren pressed charges for sexual assault, unlawful confinement, choking, and death threats. Now, as he remains on the run, she’s fighting for justice.
