• 309. Behind Her Music: Coles Whalen v. The Stalker

  Singer-songwriter Coles Whalen never met her stalker — but for more than six years, he was everywhere. Hiding behind anonymous accounts, a man sent thousands of messages, fixating on Coles's music, her personal life, and eventually her family. What began online escalated into a pattern of harassment that reshaped her daily life — forcing her to change routines, cancel shows, and live under constant fear. Coles eventually found herself at the center of a landmark legal battle — one that would challenge how the justice system defines stalking in the digital age.

• 308. Thirty Years of Fear: Stalking Rhonda

  Rhonda met a patron at a local tavern. She never dated him, never gave him her number, never had any kind of relationship with him. But none of that mattered to him. He decided she was his, and he's been hunting her ever since. For more than thirty years, Rhonda has endured letters, threats, and sudden, terrifying appearances. And every time she went to the police for help, she heard the same response: "No—he hasn't hurt you." That was true until the day she finally fought back. But instead of arresting him, the police arrested her. What followed feels like something out of a movie—a train, a near-death moment, and even a diamond ring.

• 307. Across State Lines: Stalking Claire

  Claire had barely settled into her new life across the country when the stalking began—launched by a woman she had never even met. A single DM spiraled into relentless messages, emails, and voicemails, each one proving her every online move was being monitored in real time. The harassment soon reached her workplace, and the interstate, fully virtual nature of the stalking made getting help feel impossible. Everything changed when a dispatcher finally recognized the severity of the evidence she'd been documenting, leading to an arrest warrant, an out-of-state arrest, and extradition. Now, Claire has ended the relationship, gone no-contact, and is rebuilding her life after the emotional and financial fallout.  HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?  LET US KNOW: [email protected] OTHER LINKS The Last Trip - Podcast - hosted by Jaimie Beebe Listen & Subscribe to The Last Trip - https://audioboom.com/channels/5119581-the-last-trip Follow The Last Trip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/ And Subscribe for all the updates on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcast lovelustfear | hosted by Jake Deptula Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lovelustfear/id1735876283?uo=4 Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0e3ndcf5u8lZ5lhN1lvWec Amazon Music | https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b06d0ea8-cb29-4c3a-98e6-0249d84df748 Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lovelustfearpod/ Submissions | https://lovelustfear.aidaform.com/lovelustfear Instagram: @strictlystalkingpod @feathergirl77 @jaked3000

• Stalking, Psychology & Law Enforcement with Dr. Shiloh

  When it comes to stalking, obsession, and criminal psychology, few understand both sides like Dr. Shiloh. She's a California-licensed psychologist working with Los Angeles law enforcement on clinical support, crisis negotiation, and the psychological toll of the job. Before that, she was Officer Shiloh — a patrol cop, background investigator, and terrorism liaison. Now a forensic psychologist, she specializes in high-risk offenders and the minds behind violent crime, with over a decade studying why people cross the line and how victims can protect themselves. Today, she's here to break down how stalkers think — and what survivors need to know to stay safe.
