On a February night in 1994, Lamar Woods came home. The door to his apartment was open and his 10 month old son was screaming.

The text messages came often and always went something like this: "My favorite thing to do is stand outside and stare at you," or "I hate you so much, I want to drive a knife into your heart." The texts were sent to Dave and to his ex-girlfriend Liz. The texts came from Kari, who was stalking them both, but who nobody had physically seen in over a year.
