Summary
In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I examine the tragic murder of Jessie Hurlstone, a young woman living in Devon whose life was taken following a campaign of obsessive stalking that escalated into deadly violence. I explore Jessie’s life, the investigation that followed her killing, the evidence presented in court, and the conviction of Stephen Webber.. This is a heartbreaking case that serves as a powerful reminder that stalking is never harmless and should always be taken seriously.
