- Detectives accuse Tanya Fernandez of being a cyberstalker and having a split personality. Rick and Tanya Fernandez, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged couple, say they’ve been living in a nightmare for over three years. What started as an unsettling online presence has escalated into a sadistic cyber stalking ordeal that continues to torment them. The police assigned to their case have shown skepticism and even suggested that Tanya Fernandez may be fabricating the harassment herself. As they struggle to comprehend the motives behind their alleged tormentor, the couple is now sharing the explicit and disturbing messages they have received, shedding light on the horrors they have endured. The Stalker The following podcast is based on true events but uses a pseudonym for the individuals involved. The names “Claudia Rodriguez” and “David Rodriguez” are fictional names used in the PRETEND podcast. Additionally, an update regarding the case has emerged since the initial reporting. Tanya and Rick Fernandez have been charged with harassment and computer tampering as a result of this series. Their trial is scheduled for December 6, 2023. Couple terrorized by a sadistic cyber stalker for years Rick and Tanya Fernandez, a Phoenix Arizona couple, have found their lives shattered by an unrelenting cyber stalker who has haunted them for more than three years. Despite their desperate pleas for help, the couple has faced an uphill battle, with law enforcement authorities seemingly aligning themselves with the alleged stalker. The Fernandezs, both devout Jehovah’s Witnesses and active members of their local church, are terrified by the relentless harassment they endure daily. Their hopes for justice have been crushed by detectives who have shown disbelief and have even accused Tanya of orchestrating the stalking herself, insinuating a split personality disorder and medical child abuse (Munchausen by proxy) against her children. The couple’s plea for support has been met with suspicion and skepticism instead of the protection they desperately need. The alleged tormentor is a man they know all too well: the husband of their daughter’s pediatric neurologist. Tanya and Rick, whose daughter has received medical care from the alleged stalker’s wife. Determined to expose the torment they have endured, Tanya Fernandez has decided to share the explicit and disturbing messages she and her husband have received. The content of these messages is deeply unsettling, highlighting the sadistic nature of their cyber stalker’s actions and underscoring the urgent need for authorities to take decisive action. As Rick and Tanya Fernandez continue to fight against their relentless cyber stalker, they hope that their harrowing experiences will finally be acknowledged and the perpetrator brought to justice. In a world where the virtual realm can become a breeding ground for terror, their story serves as a chilling reminder of the dark side of the digital age and the devastating consequences it can inflict on unsuspecting victims.
