In this week's episode, we investigate who may be responsible for the harassing messages sent to the Rodriguez family. The postal inspector and the detectives assigned to the case have their sights set on the oldest daughter, Logan, but at this time, there are no official suspects, and no one has been charged.
One thing we can say for sure is that there is no evidence that Dr. Gressman or the husband is involved in any way. Whoever is behind these messages is someone living inside the Rodriguez family's house.
It's also worth noting that the Instagram accounts used by the stalker were created using the Rodriguez's IP address and were created before their disabled adult daughter, Chelsea, ever became a patient of Dr. Gressman. With seven people living in that house, there are six possible suspects. In today's episode, we'll be narrowing it down to two.

S1210: The Stalker part 10
Examining the Evidence: Is Someone in the Rodriguez House Responsible for the Stalking?
As the investigation into the cyberstalking of the Rodriguez family continues, new information has come to light about the possible culprit. To uncover potential leads, an ethical hacker was brought on to investigate all parties involved in the case, including the alleged stalker, Dr. Grace Gressman, and her husband, John. After a thorough search, it was determined that both the doctor and her husband had no unusual internet activity and were unlikely to be the stalker.
However, when the hacker turned their attention to the Rodriguez family, they found something curious. Logan, the oldest adult child of Claudia and David Rodriguez, had 5 active devices. Mishaal Khan, a cyber-security expert, says, "While it may be normal for someone of Logan's age to have multiple devices, it is unusual for someone to have so many." Naturally, this raised some suspicions, but no concrete evidence was found to pinpoint a suspect.
At this point, it is clear that John Gressman cannot be the stalker. But with the investigation at a standstill, questions remain about who is behind the threatening messages. Is it possible that Claudia is orchestrating the Stalking herself to gain attention? Could it be her husband, David, or one of their adult children? These questions will be explored in today's episode as the PRETEND host interviews Logan to learn more about her multiple devices.

INTRODUCING: Against the Odds: Alaska Bear Attack
Against the Odds: Alaska Bear Attack
What if you were stranded on a mountaintop? Or survived a plane crash? Or attacked by a bear in the dead of winter? These might sound like action movie plots, but for an unlucky few, these stories were all too real.
Against the Odds is a podcast from Wondery that tells mind-blowing, edge-of-your-seat survival stories filled with adventure and bravery, perseverance and tragedy. These vivid stories will transport you into the shoes of the heroes who survived to tell the tale.
Like the Alaska Bear Attack, a backcountry ski trip with three friends that turned into a living nightmare when they unknowingly skied over a den and awoke a mother bear and her cub from hibernation. After one of them was attacked, bleeding and hypothermia were imminent, but his friends had to try their best to keep him alive while waiting for rescue – and hoping the bear wouldn’t come back for them.
Each episode will remind you about the unshakeable human drive to survive, and the inspiring bravery of the heroes who helped.
