Ep 8. Burning Desires

In "Stalked: Someone's Watching" season 2 episode 8, titled "Burning Desires," viewers are introduced to the story of Leslie, a woman who starts receiving threatening letters from an anonymous sender. The letters begin to escalate, with the sender becoming more and more aggressive as time goes on.

At first, Leslie tries to ignore the letters, thinking they are just a prank. But as they become more frequent and more threatening, she begins to fear for her life. She hires a private investigator to try to track down the person behind the letters, but they are unable to find any leads.

As the stalking continues, Leslie becomes increasingly paranoid and isolated. She stops going out in public, avoids answering her phone, and even stops seeing her family and friends. Her husband becomes frustrated with her behavior and accuses her of overreacting, which only adds to Leslie's stress.

Eventually, Leslie decides to take matters into her own hands and tries to catch the stalker in the act. She sets up a hidden camera in her home and starts to watch it obsessively, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person behind the threats.

One day she returns home from work to find her home has been broken into and the stalker has set her house on fire. As she runs out of the burning house, she sees a man running away from the scene. Leslie is able to provide the police with a detailed description of the man, and they are eventually able to track him down and arrest him.

The man turns out to be a former coworker who had become obsessed with Leslie and had been stalking her for months. He is charged with arson, burglary, and stalking.

Throughout the episode, interviews with Leslie, her husband, and the private investigator help to paint a picture of the fear and anxiety that comes with being stalked. The story serves as a reminder that stalking is a serious crime and can have devastating consequences for the victim.
