Stalking can show in many different forms. We begin with the case of Rebecca Schaeffer, an up and coming actress who became the victim of an obsessed fan in 1989. Then we bring the conversation to the 21st century where cyber sleuthing is one of the most prominent forms of stalking. We dive deep with a Private Investigator who has some very helpful tips on how to prevent ourselves from being the next victim.
