Summary

Rebecca Shaeffer was an up and coming actress in the late 1980's. She had already landed roles in a soap opera, on a sitcom, and in several movies. She had fans all over the world. But one fan in particular, Robert John Bardo, would develop an obsession with Rebecca that would ultimately lead to murder. Join Gibby and I as we detail out this case that would be the catalyst for many of the anti-stalking laws that are on the books today.
