| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody. |
| 0:17.4 | And welcome back to Mile Higher podcast, episode 381. So today, guys, we are going to be looking at a case that I think is very important to talk about. |
| 0:31.8 | Cases like this, stalking situations, I think are very informative for people. |
| 0:39.9 | And far more frequent than you would think, too. |
| 0:42.3 | Yes. |
| 0:42.9 | Especially with just social media being an extension of who we are at this point. |
| 0:48.1 | You have to be careful because with a lot of these platforms, the geolocation services that they offer can be a valuable tool to a stalker, right? |

| 2:03.8 | would have gotten to this point. You know, it was so shocking and sudden. No, he snapped. I mean, |
| 2:11.1 | it's just, I don't think there was really any way to foresee just how violent this would become. |
| 2:18.5 | Right. |
| 2:18.8 | Like they, you know, people were worried about her. |
