The Tragic Murder Of Actress Rebecca Schaeffer

Stalking is one of the more insidious crimes a person can commit against another, with the potential to severely harm the victim's sense of safety and well-being. It's also a crime that can easily escalate to physical violence. But would you believe there was a time in the United States when stalking wasn't illegal at all?

In the 1980s, a number of high-profile stalking cases led California to become the first state to create a law against stalking in 1990. Unfortunately, it took some tragic violence and loss of life to bring about the legislation, including the attempted murder of Theresa Saldana and the murder of Rebecca Schaeffer by Robert John Bardo. This is the true story of the tragic muder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer.
