Clare Bernal was a 22 year old British woman with her whole life ahead of her. She was ambitious, kind-hearted, and building a career she loved.. But what began as a brief romance with a co-worker soon turned into a chilling ordeal of obsession and fear.

When Clare ended the relationship, she thought it was over. But her ex-boyfriend refused to let go, stalking her relentlessly and making terrifying threats. Even after his arrest, the danger hadn’t passed—only weeks later, in broad daylight, Clare’s life was stolen in a brutal and calculated attack inside the job she loved.

How was a man, who displayed such clear warning signs, allowed to slip through the cracks? And why was Clare left vulnerable to a man so clearly dangerous? Join me as we delve into the heartbreaking case of Clare Bernal and the urgent conversations it sparked about stalking laws and victim protection.
