1. So terrifying to think of those poor girls knowing there was someone stalking

and not being able to prove it, then the monster shows up . . . .

I had a minor problem with a stalker when I lived alone in Brooklyn many years ago. I never took it seriously and it stopped when I started dating my first husband. It was a cop. I had called cops because of scary phone calls I was getting and got very friendly with two of the policemen. At first when one of them showed up unexpectedly I felt safe, protected. But then he asked me out, was more than twice my age, and I had a hard time coming up with excuses why I shouldn't go out with him. I made up a fake boyfriend, so when I started dating M he bought my excuse and stopped coming around. I mean it was a cop. I was 19. He had a lot of power and I had none. Could have been bad if he were so inclined.

I love your posts you know I do but this one will probably give me a nightmare.
