Strictly Stalking

Bex joined the police force to protect others. Instead, she became the one who needed protecting—from the people wearing the same badge. It began with patrol cars idling in her rearview mirror, officers waiting for her to drive through town so they could pull her over and accuse her of being drunk. Then came the summons to the lieutenant's office on her nights off. Questions about harmless dinners with friends. Warnings based on nothing more than a cup that might have held alcohol. She wasn't drinking. She wasn't breaking any rules. But the harassment only escalated—especially as she watched her own department mishandle stalking and harassment cases that looked disturbingly like her own.

Jane Anderson has spent her entire career staring directly into the patterns of control, obsession, and escalation that define stalking and intimate partner violence. She began as an Assistant State Attorney in Miami-Dade's Domestic Violence Unit, where she saw—again and again—how stalking isn't just a red flag, but a warning for violence to come. From there, she built the nation's Human Trafficking Unit from the ground up, prosecuting cases driven by surveillance, coercion, and fear. Over the years, Jane has trained law enforcement, strengthened survivor networks, and led teams tackling domestic violence, stalking, and major felonies. She's also become a national leader in using digital evidence to expose patterns of abuse and hold offenders accountable. Today, Jane serves as a Senior Attorney Advisor with AEquitas, drawing on more than eleven years of experience guiding prosecutors on cases involving domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking.

His obsession escalated from surprise encounters to love poems, rambling manifestos, and even a bizarre marriage proposal delivered with a jar of honey. Today, Heather shares how she realized this wasn't coincidence but stalking—and how she fought back to take her life back from his fantasy.
