S2 Ep.7: When Does Being a Fan Turn Deadly? (with Author, Dr. James Horan)

An American actress is killed by her stalker, paving the way for a whole new category of crime: murder by celebrity obsession.  But if the stalker claims mental illness, how does that affect the trial?  What anti-stalking laws were born as a result of this case?  And had she not been famous, would Rebecca Shaeffer still be alive? 

Host Daryn Carp is joined by Dr. James Horan, author of “Celebrity Worshippers: Inside the Minds of Stargazer” to get answers to all her burning questions about this case.
