S3 / E111 Delusion of Romance: Stalking Fiona

Fiona was stalked for nearly a decade by a man who created a fantasy world about her online. While working at a local restaurant, Fiona served a customer who's constant stare made her uncomfortable. She noticed him frequently pass by the windows of the restaurant to see if she was there. They lived in the same neighborhood and shared some of the same friends, but he started turning up at the neighborhood cafe whenever Fiona was there. Fiona uncovered a delusional online blog about her life - describing her neighborhood, her instagram posts, and her personal details. As the blogs intensified she deactivated her social media accounts, filed a police report, and even moved to another state. Although she changed her phone number she discovered her phone was hacked.  Her emails and text messages were shared on the stalker's Tumblr sock puppet accounts. The stalking escalated when she started getting messages with detailed love poems, violent threats of rape and murder, and attempts to push her into committing suicide.  DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STORY TO SHARE?
