Ep 2. Fear F.M.

Fear F.M. is an episode from the third season of Stalked: Someone's Watching. The show is a crime documentary series that explores real-life cases of stalking. Each episode follows a different victim's story and provides details about how the stalking began, escalated, and ultimately ended.

In this particular episode, Fear F.M., we are introduced to a young woman named Tara. Tara was just starting her career as a radio host when she began receiving creepy messages from an unknown caller. At first, she didn't think anything of it - her job required her to interact with listeners all the time, after all. But as the messages became more frequent and more graphic, Tara knew she had a serious problem.

The stalker started showing up at the radio station, too. Tara would catch glimpses of him outside the building or lurking in the parking lot. She tried to ignore him, but he seemed to know everything about her - where she lived, where she went to school, who her friends were.

Tara's coworkers and friends urged her to go to the police, but she was hesitant. She didn't want to cause a scene or make things worse. Besides, what could the police do about anonymous messages and vague threats?

As the stalking continued, Tara's fear grew. She dreaded going to work, knowing that the stalker might be waiting for her. She stopped going out with friends and avoided public places. She even moved in with her parents for a while, hoping that the stalker wouldn't be able to find her there.

But the stalker persisted. He started sending Tara more explicit messages, using crude language and making violent threats. He sent her pictures of himself - pictures that made her skin crawl. And he didn't just target Tara; he started calling other radio shows she appeared on and leaving vulgar messages for the hosts.

Finally, when the stalker showed up outside the radio station with a weapon, Tara knew she had to take action. She went to the police and filed a report. With the help of a private investigator, they were able to track down the stalker and bring him to justice.

Fear F.M. is a chilling reminder of how easily someone's life can be turned upside down by a stalker. Tara's story is a cautionary tale for anyone who works in a public-facing job or puts themselves out there in any way. It's a stark reminder that we can't take our safety for granted and that sometimes, we need to ask for help when we're most vulnerable.
