Stalking: The Story of Dr. Amie Harwick with Miss Tosh (Part 2)


Listen Later

In this three-part special on stalking and domestic violence resulting in a homicide, we discuss the beautiful life of the dynamic and courageous Amie Harwick, and her tragic death at the hands of her ex-boyfriend and stalker, Gareth Pursehouse. Amie was a fire breathing, celebrity family and sex therapist, and she empowered women, not only through her work but in her daily life. Amie suffered severe physical abuse during her relationship with Pursehouse and had twice sought restraining orders against him. The restraining order had expired shortly before he killed her. A 2008 study of restraining orders among victims of intimate partner homicide found that about 11% of women killed by male intimate partners had gotten a restraining order; one-fifth of those victims were killed within two days of the order being issued. In this episode, designer, model, entertainer, glamour queen, and burlesque performer Miss Tosh takes us through her life as a part of the LGBTQ community—an often exploitative industry, and walks us through seeing Amie Harwick in her final hours, during a "Galentines Day" event she was hosting. We talk about Amie’s undying love of and support for women and how we can carry Amie’s legacy forward by loving, supporting, and empowering women.
