Summary
Peggy Klinke was a vibrant young woman whose life would be derailed by a relationship with a man named Patrick Kennedy. What began as just a short romance became a years-long campaign of stalking, threats, vandalism, arson, and psychological terror—all of which Peggy documented in painstaking detail. Despite her repeated cries for help, the justice system would fail her again and again: law enforcement would ignore her, and Patrick's obsession would eventually escalate into violence.

| 0:19.5 | She was building a new life and dreaming of medical school, |
| 0:22.3 | but everything changed when she met a man named Patrick Kennedy. What began as a brief romance |
| 0:28.9 | quickly spiraled into something much darker. Patrick isolated Peggy from her family, |
| 0:34.3 | took control of her life, and then refused to let her go. As the abuse escalated |
