Patrick Brady is a criminologist and university professor who studies stalking behavior and its impact on victims.


We discuss some cases he's worked on, types of technology used by stalkers, common stalking behaviors, and how the justice system responds to stalking. Along with his research, he has conducted interviews with officers, prosecutors, advocates, and survivors to understand the crime of stalking thoroughly. Patrick highlights why it's often difficult to prosecute a stalking case and how we can work with law enforcement to hold stalkers accountable.

S4 / E154 Stalking Studies: Patrick Brady

Strictly Stalking is a weekly true crime podcast exploring true stalking stories from survivors — in their own words. Every Tuesday, hosts Jaimie Beebe and Jake Deptula cover a unique stalking case by interviewing stalking survivors, advocates, and experts.

True crime

The same woman who targeted Carly and Steve, as discussed in our previous episode (226. Stalking A Couple), also stalked our guests on today’s episode with Krista and Tony.

Krista and Tony are being relentlessly stalked by a woman whom Tony had previously dated. Despite the relationship ending, the woman’s behavior has escalated into a campaign of harassment, involving incessant calls, visits, and messages.  She even went as far as seeking relationship advice from Krista, indicating a troubling level of obsession. Her focus has extended to Tony’s workplace and family, bombarding them with persistent communication attempts.  Even with law enforcement intervention, the stalking persists, causing ongoing problems for Krista and Tony.

227. Stalking Again

Carly and Steve are being relentlessly stalked by Steve's former girlfriend.

Following the breakup, Steve's ex resorted to distributing explicit images of him to his entire network, persistently stalking and harassing him and his loved ones, bombarding them with countless calls and messages. When he started dating Carly, the stalker's fixation extended to include her, even going so far as to harass her at her workplace, ultimately leading to her termination. Despite their best efforts, which involved filing numerous police reports, obtaining restraining orders, and enlisting legal assistance, the torment persists unabated. This has resulted in significant financial strain, with mounting debts from legal fees, yet the stalker remains undeterred in their relentless pursuit.

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains topics including child abuse, sexual assault, image-based abuse, and attempted suicide. Listener discretion is advised.**

226. Stalking A Couple

Maggie, a beauty influencer, found herself in the clutches of a cyberstalker whose identity remained shrouded in mystery. Following the launch of her online beauty venture, Maggie was inundated with sexually explicit messages and manipulated images of her face inserted into lewd photographs. Despite the stalker's demands for nude photos in exchange for ceasing the harassment, Maggie steadfastly ignored him.
The situation took a darker turn when the stalker created a fake Instagram profile mirroring one of Maggie's friends. He infiltrated her live online beauty show, exposing himself to her unsuspecting followers. Faced with this escalating harassment, Maggie and her husband sought assistance from a Private Detective, transforming into amateur sleuths on a mission to unveil the identity of Maggie's tormentor.
Listen as Maggie updates us on her stalker, his identity, and her life after telling her story on Strictly Stalking. We’ll play the original episode after the intro, if you know this story well, you can fast forward to around the 1 hour mark to hear Maggie’s update.
