Summary

Amy B. Chesler is an award-winning author, actress, and advocate whose life took a devastating turn in 2007 when her brother murdered their mother. After surviving years of abuse and a prolonged legal battle, Amy continues to face ongoing stalking and threats from her brother — even from behind bars. Although his parole has been extended to 2030, gaps in victim notification and systemic failures still leave Amy living with uncertainty. Determined to turn her trauma into purpose, Amy now uses her voice to drive change. As the host of What Came Next and Familicide, she amplifies survivor stories and advocates for meaningful reform in the justice system.

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains depictions of familicide, homicide, physical violence, and sexual assault. Please listen with caution.**
