Strictly Stalking

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.

But nothing prepared her for the night her home security cameras revealed the unthinkable: he had crossed her threshold. In this episode, Marie exposes the spiritual betrayal, psychological manipulation, and terrifying stalking she endured at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect her.

Heather thought she'd met a friendly stranger on a bus—until he revealed he already knew details she'd never shared. Soon he was showing up everywhere she went, inserting himself into her relationships, and eventually following her across state lines. 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.

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.

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.
