Stalked
 Listen to the item
June聽is 56 and married with two children. She works as a senior carer in a residential home for the elderly. This doesn't sound like the聽stereotypical image of a person who's been the victim of a stalker.
Four years ago, June's life was made a misery by the husband of a woman who worked in the same office.聽June had occassionally made him coffee whilst he waited for his wife, but that was the limit of their acquaintance.
The man聽began to phone her聽constantly, sent letters and flowers聽and waited outside work for her.聽This was distressing enough in itself, but when he sent her threats against her daughter and husband she became really frightened.聽
The police eventually searched his house and found enough evidence to charge him with stalking.聽He was sentenced to 3 months in prison and now has a restraining order聽served on him to stop him from making any future contact.
Although this happened 4 years ago, June still feels concerned that the stalker may try and make contact again.聽 But what she'd really like to know is, why did he pick her?聽
