Summary:
This documentary explores the growing crime phenomenon of stalking and stalkers. This episode, narrated by Investigative Reports host and producer Bill Kurtis, uses law enforcement evidence and statistics to document this new form of crime. New stalking prevention laws are explained, and questions are asked if these laws are really preventing the crimes from continuing. Law enforcement officials who have worked on stalking cases are interviewed, along with an exclusive interview with former O. J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark. Clark talks at length about the case of Robert Bardo who stalked and killed actress Rebecca Schaeffer. There also is an interview with Bardo, from prison, in which he talks about his crime.
