Summary
A special extended podcast today.
When Molly McLaren ended a short relationship, she believed it was the start of a new chapter. Instead, she found herself subjected to relentless stalking and harassment by a former partner who refused to accept the breakup. As the obsession intensified, Molly repeatedly tried to protect herself and move forward with her life. Tragically, her fears became reality when the stalking culminated in a shocking act of violence.
In this episode, I explore Molly's story, the warning signs of coercive and obsessive behaviour, and the lasting impact her case has had on the conversation around stalking and victim protection.
I am back on Sunday with a special edition of the UK True Crime Podcast in conversation with German journalist Alex Frieling all about the chief suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, Christian Brückner. I will be back with my normal story on Tuesday - join me for these episodes.
