Laurie Show was a 16-year-old high school student from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, whose life was tragically cut short in 1991 in a brutal act of jealousy and revenge. She had briefly dated an older teen, Lawrence  Yunkin, who was in a volatile relationship with another teenager, Michelle Lambert. Lambert became increasingly obsessed with harassing and threatening Laurie. On the morning of December 20, 1991, Laurie was attacked and murdered in her home by Lambert and her friend Tabitha Buck. 

The horrifying case gained national attention and led to lengthy trials, appeals, and changes in Pennsylvania’s anti-stalking laws, largely due to the advocacy of Laurie’s mother, Hazel Show. In 2000, Lifetime adapted the story into a made-for-TV film titled The Stalking of Laurie Show, dramatizing the events leading up to Laurie’s death.
