Episode 4. Stalking is often a precursor to violent behaviors and serious crimes, even murder. In this episode, we look at some of the headline-grabbing stalking cases in Hollywood. Former L.A. County Prosecutor Marcia Clark details two cases she worked on: O.J. Simpson’s murder trial and the death of actress Rebecca Schaeffer. We also explore stalking and obsession with the help of fiction writer Caroline Kepnes, author of YOU, who uses these themes heavily in her work. Director Neil Jordan discusses what is equally titillating and horrifying about stalker characters in his, including in Focus Features film Greta.
