Summary

Melissa, a single mom and social media influencer, became the target of a dangerous stalker after he found her online. What started with anonymous calls and obsessive messages quickly escalated. He tracked down her address, flew across the country, tried to break into her home, left disturbing items in her mailbox, and stayed at a hotel just a mile away—all while posting his actions in real time on TikTok. Even with mounting evidence, law enforcement failed to intervene. Left to protect herself, Melissa took matters into her own hands. She filed for a restraining order and, without police support, had to lure him to a public place just to get him served. She was eventually granted full protection. Her case is still under investigation, and she’s hoping he’ll be charged with criminal stalking for the terror he put her through.
