Kathy thought it was just a property dispute with a neighbor—until it turned into years of stalking that forced her to flee nearly 300 miles away. But three months later, her stalker found her again… standing outside her new home, smiling. And despite years of evidence, the nightmare still hasn't ended.

Megan Mitchell is an attorney who specializes in Title IX cases on college campuses, including stalking. While many people think of Title IX as addressing sexual misconduct, it also covers stalking—often in ways that are uniquely complicated. On close-knit campuses, shared classes, dorms, and social circles can make it nearly impossible for victims to avoid someone who refuses to respect boundaries. Today, Megan helps us understand how stalking shows up in the Title IX system—and why these cases can be especially challenging for students trying to feel safe at school.

Jordan thought her divorce would bring freedom — but instead, the abuse followed her online. What began as a whirlwind romance turned into control and fear. After leaving the marriage, she was met with texts, emails, fake accounts, and disturbing messages from her ex — who even impersonated others to reach her and sent wedding photos years later. For over a decade, he resurfaced at her most vulnerable moments, blurring the line between digital harassment and real-world danger — until she finally took legal action to stop him.

More than 45 years ago, Terri was stalked for nearly five years by a man who followed and watched her relentlessly. Decades later, while watching a documentary about the unsolved murder of Dorothy Jane Scott, she realized the stalking behavior and timeline were chillingly similar to what she experienced.

Kelly was stalked by the man she escaped. She thought leaving would end the violence. Instead, it escalated. The relationship was over—but the monitoring, intimidation, and constant fear of being watched had only just begun. As she navigated restraining orders and safety plans, Kelly was forced to rebuild her life in a world that no longer felt safe. Years later, she would finally speak publicly about what happened—and turn that trauma into something powerful: training personal protection dogs for survivors still living in fear.

Victoria was just 13 when a boy from her church became her stalker. It started with him showing up at her house. Then he was watching her sleep. Soon came the carved name in his skin, the bloody razor blades in the mail, and the promises to kill her — and anyone she loved. She went to police. But in her small town, his family was the police. More than twenty years later, he still comes back looking for her. Share Your Story on the Show: [email protected] Our Sponsors Progressive Insurance Press play on comparing auto rates.

She's also the author of multiple books on personal and institutional safety and is preparing to launch a new podcast, Shielded, through the National Police Network.

Josie was stalked by a man who first showed up in her life as a regular customer. After he found her personal email and began sending explicit photos, Josie set a firm boundary — and the harassment began. He used his wealth and resources to terrorize her by car, online, and through the mail, sending disturbing cut-out images of Josie and her friends. He created fake accounts, even using a photo of her father's home — where he had died in a fire. Then it escalated to the sky. He flew over her house, circling it repeatedly and even dropping tomatoes onto her home and car. The breaking point came when he threatened her daughter's life. There were arrests, protective orders, and eventually the FBI tracked him across state lines — only for him to return and violate that order again.

Pam was stalked by a fellow stand-up comedian who wouldn't accept rejection. What started as persistent, unwanted romantic attention escalated the moment Pam drew a clear line. She blocked him. She left shows early. She involved her husband. She asked venues to intervene. But none of it stopped the contact. Instead, it evolved. The harassment seeped into group chats, traveled through mutual friends, and spread in quiet conversations behind her back. Rumors replaced reality. Lies became louder than the truth. And slowly, Pam didn't just lose gigs — she lost friendships, opportunities, and eventually her place within the comedy community she had worked so hard to build. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Michelle was sixteen when she started dating the man who would later become her stalker. At that age, she didn't yet recognize the warning signs—his criminal record, his extreme beliefs, the way control already threaded through their relationship. After one argument, he told Michelle he was going back to jail "because of her." That same night, he violently carjacked a man. He was arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison. It should have ended there. Instead, it became a countdown. From behind bars, he wrote her letters, promising he would find her when he got out. For years, Michelle measured her life in time remaining—until the day the countdown finally reached zero. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

Zade thought she was walking into a job interview. Instead, she walked into a trap.She took a position at a beauty supply store owned by a man who quickly began blurring the line between employer and predator—overpaying her, buying her a new phone, tracking her movements under the guise of "looking out for her." When she tried to leave one night after refusing his invitation to dinner, he locked the store, shut off the lights, and tried to assault her. Zade fought him off and got away. She went straight to the police. But the nightmare didn't end there. The very next day, she spotted him outside her home, watching. The officers who responded knew him—and didn't take her seriously. What followed was a campaign of terror: endless calls and messages, claims that she "belonged" to him, and his sudden appearances at her door. Zade documented everything. She walked into court ready to tell her story. The case was dismissed. He walked free. Zade is speaking out about what it means to survive when the system fails—and why telling her story still matters. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?
