Beth Rylance was stalked by a stranger who tried to convince her that they were lovers.

After graduating from University, Beth returned home and began receiving Twitter notifications from an older man she'd never met.

He messaged her that he "missed her", wrote romantic blog posts about her, and posted videos he shot calling her his "woman".

Beth blocked him, then he reached out to her friends pleading with them to get in touch with her.

He discovered her address, showed up at her front door and refused to leave until he got to see her.

lovelustfear | a new podcast with jake deptula

Annie Bowles is advocating for the release of April Wilkens, who was given a life sentence for killing her stalker in an act of self-defense.

Annie is striving to bring attention to the issue of criminalized survivorship and is pushing for the passage of the Oklahoma Survivors Act. This legislation aims to help survivors of domestic violence by allowing evidence of abuse to be presented during trials to potentially reduce their sentences. During the second half of this episode, we will be sharing parts of an interview Annie conducted with April in prison, allowing her to share her own story.

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphic language and topics including sexual assault, domestic violence and homocide. Listener discretion is advised.**

223. Justice For April Wilkens

Samantha was abducted and imprisoned by her stalker. 

After they met in college, Samantha realized a man had an unhealthy obsession with her when he started following her around and leaving her unwanted gifts. In 2014, when he pursued her across state lines, Samatha secured a six-year restraining order against him. Upon returning to her hometown six years later, she noticed his presence, but he kept his distance and remained silent. However, the eerie calm shattered one fateful night in October 2022 when he forcibly entered her home and abducted her, imprisoning her in a homemade cage; getting the idea from the TV Show "You." Samantha is bravely sharing her story of survival and unimaginable trauma.

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence, abduction, torture, and sexual assualt. Please listen with caution.**
