Show Notes

Colleen Shipman's flight arrived in Orlando a little after 1 AM on February 6, 2007. Exhausted, she didn't realize someone else had arrived at the airport - someone that was watching her. They stalked her as she discovered her baggage was delayed and her drink her coffee and eat her danish in the airport Starbucks. They followed her onto the shuttle bus that would take her to her car, and finally, when they were alone in the parking lot, they struck, attacking her with pepper spray before Colleen was able to get away.

The most bizarre part of Colleen's night would be when she discovered the identity of her stalker, and the reason for the attack.
