Summary
In this episode, we welcome new listeners and dive straight into a raw, harrowing story from our guest, Harper. Harper was an art student who thought she’d met a charming guy in class, but her gut was screaming “run” long before things turned violent. Over the course of college, what began as a harmless connection with “Charlie” slowly morphed into stalking, unwanted advances, and a relentless series of red flags that left Harper feeling panicked. We sit down with her as she recounts that moment when her intuition saved her life, and how the man she once thought she could trust ended up being a murderer. T
Trigger warning: discussion of stalking, violence, attempted murder, and mental illness.
