Strictly Stalking

Victoria was just 13 when a boy from her church became her stalker. It started with him showing up at her house. Then he was watching her sleep. Soon came the carved name in his skin, the bloody razor blades in the mail, and the promises to kill her — and anyone she loved. She went to police. But in her small town, his family was the police. More than twenty years later, he still comes back looking for her. Share Your Story on the Show: [email protected] Our Sponsors Progressive Insurance Press play on comparing auto rates.

Lori Morrison is a retired private investigator, former host of The Unlovely Truth, and founder of She Shepherds, where she works to expose physical, emotional, and spiritual safety failures within churches. She's also the author of multiple books on personal and institutional safety and is preparing to launch a new podcast, Shielded, through the National Police Network. Today, Lori joins us to unpack the unique and often hidden dangers of stalking by a religious authority — the added layer of coercive control, the importance of trusting your instincts even when the person targeting you holds spiritual power, and what churches must do to stop protecting perpetrators and start protecting survivors.

Josie was stalked by a man who first showed up in her life as a regular customer. After he found her personal email and began sending explicit photos, Josie set a firm boundary — and the harassment began. He used his wealth and resources to terrorize her by car, online, and through the mail, sending disturbing cut-out images of Josie and her friends. He created fake accounts, even using a photo of her father's home — where he had died in a fire. Then it escalated to the sky. He flew over her house, circling it repeatedly and even dropping tomatoes onto her home and car. The breaking point came when he threatened her daughter's life. There were arrests, protective orders, and eventually the FBI tracked him across state lines — only for him to return and violate that order again.

Pam was stalked by a fellow stand-up comedian who wouldn't accept rejection. What started as persistent, unwanted romantic attention escalated the moment Pam drew a clear line. She blocked him. She left shows early. She involved her husband. She asked venues to intervene. But none of it stopped the contact. Instead, it evolved. The harassment seeped into group chats, traveled through mutual friends, and spread in quiet conversations behind her back. Rumors replaced reality. Lies became louder than the truth. And slowly, Pam didn't just lose gigs — she lost friendships, opportunities, and eventually her place within the comedy community she had worked so hard to build. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Michelle was sixteen when she started dating the man who would later become her stalker. At that age, she didn't yet recognize the warning signs—his criminal record, his extreme beliefs, the way control already threaded through their relationship. After one argument, he told Michelle he was going back to jail "because of her." That same night, he violently carjacked a man. He was arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison. It should have ended there. Instead, it became a countdown. From behind bars, he wrote her letters, promising he would find her when he got out. For years, Michelle measured her life in time remaining—until the day the countdown finally reached zero. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?
