SUMMARY
My guest, Andrea, recounts a chilling stalking experience from over a decade ago when she was a young graduate living in Pasadena. As the story unfolds, she shares the gradual realization of being watched, the eerie encounters, and the unsettling intuition that preceded the revelation of an imminent threat.
The narrative intensifies when her apartment manager reveals a disturbing encounter involving a suspicious individual armed with duct tape and lock-picking tools heading up to Andrea’s apartment.
As the stalking escalates, Andrea shares the unsettling moments leading up to a critical incident involving her and a friend confronted by potential abductors in a white van. The episode delves into the emotional toll of the stalking experience, emphasizing the importance of personal safety awareness and street smarts.
