Rebecca Shaeffer and Celebrity Stalkers

In 1989, Rebecca Shaeffer was just hitting her stride as an actress. She was coming off a three-year stint on a television show, My Sister Sam, opposite Pam Dawber. Robert John Barbo had been stalking Rebecca, though she was unaware of it. His obsession would end in tragedy. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Rebecca Shaeffer and other instances of stalkers targeting celebrities. Stalking is a scary thing and often involves a person who knows their victim personally. But in the case of celebrities, stalkers don't really know their target but often believe they do. You can help support the show through Patreon (  / criminology  ) .
