1.6 million Australian women and 663,000 men have experienced stalking in their lifetime. Those figures are only as has been reported because the bottom line is, most women and men have no idea they're actually being stalked. Until the stalker decides to let them know.
Not including social media stalking which is another kind of sinister.
I realise men are also targets but as a woman I can say that most of my female friends have had some sort of stalking experience. It isn't flattering, it's creepy and it can be dangerous. And you're in all likelihood not the only one they're stalking.
What starts out as maybe finding a flower under the windscreen wiper of your car in the mornings can ramp up to breaking into your house, lying on your bed when you're not at home and rifling through drawers. And you may have no idea they've even been in there. The bed is wrinkled but you made it that morning, must be one of the kids jumped on it. That window you thought was closed is open a bit, blame yourself for being careless. Come home and your front door is open, think to yourself you must not have locked it properly when you left the house. The cat's bug-eyed and it's fur is standing on end, something's wrong with it. Neurotic cat. The house smells different. You've lost somehow, a couple of pairs of knickers.
One of your bras is near the front door. Okay, maybe something is going on but let's not make a big deal out of it maybe the clip got snagged on the back of jeans or something then fell off. While just up the road, two weeks later a young girls underwear is found scattered up a path and the crutch has been cut out of every pair.
This pod is an interview with Narelle Ford ex-detective from sex crimes and the story of a report she stumbled over from a young womans parents who had called about their daughter's bra being found near her front door. The uniformed police had already attended and took the report but didn't take it any further, in particular, they weren't asking the right questions. So Ford went back.
What she found was going on in that neighbourhood by asking the right questions and who was eventually arrested for it was absolutely shocking. You never know what ugly secrets people are keeping. Really interesting pod.

Have you ever had a stalker and how did you find out?
