Stalked: The Rebecca Schaeffer Story
CW: Themes/descriptions of violence
LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
When 21-year-old Rebecca Schaeffer (previous star of "My Sister Sam") opened her door on July 18, 1989, she expected to see a courier delivering the ‘Godfather 3’ script she needed for her exciting upcoming audition. Instead, Robert Bardo, who’d been obsessed with Rebecca for some time, pulled out a gun and shot her. Rebecca died within the hour.
While stalking was already a growing problem in America at that time, it was Rebecca’s tragic death, and the outcry that surrounded it, that led to the nation’s first anti-stalking laws. Listen to episode 24 to hear more about Rebecca’s story and the societal changes sparked by her murder.
