This is very common. Experts suspect that like murder, stalking is rarely committed by a complete stranger.

Hummm...this doesn't smell right. She waited 10 Years to go to authorities?!! I would bet there's much, much more to this story than what's being reported.

It's common for a man living with his wife to pretend to be a stalker and send her threatening messages?

Not in my neck of the woods.

Ex-husband maybe. But not someone you're married to and currently living with.

It is frightening to think that she did not know she was married to someone so sick and twisted. It is awful and so scary. Thank goodness she left him.

The whole story sounds bizarre. He stalks her she doesn't report it for ten years. Doesn't make sense. If someone was stalking you I'm sure you would report it. I know I would. Maybe she thought it was her old lover!

I agree that there must be more to this story. 10 years??

Husband was probably a weirdo when she married him. Many stalk after a divorce or separation. !0 years before reporting things sounds like she may have suspected him but didn't want to get him in trouble - she finally got fed up.

My ex stalked and vandalized. His new girlfriend/later wife, probably didn't know. Glad after so many years they moved out of the area entirely. I have peace.

There's no such thing as a stalking story that isn't weird. Stalking is weird and creepy by default.

Many people do not report it. People don't report many crimes, like rape, abuse, or blackmail. Stalking is also underreported. One reason is that it's so hard for the police to do anything about it and people feel like it's not worth the trouble.

Perhaps it went unreported for so long because she was hiding it for some time from even her husband. If he was jealous of an affair she had, perhaps she didn't want any more reasons to set him off and throw the affair up in her face, so she just left it alone as long as she could. Maybe she suspected him and maybe she didn't for a long portion of that time.

This was his way of making her pay for the affair, and maybe over time he really ramped it up to where, whether she suspected him or not, she just couldn't let it go any longer.

You act like you've never heard of dysfunctional people being married to each other.

I think the weirdest part is that she waited 10 years before she went to the police; she obviously wasn't afraid and she must have suspected it was her husband. The husband had a lot of pent up anger over her affair; right or wrong, he released that anger by sending the emails. He's a sick man who needs help, not jail. She's only a "vicitim" because she got sick of his email foolishness and wanted out of the marriage.

10 years is a long time to wait! She had emails, they (the police) probably could have been easily traced back to the sender (the husband) much sooner had she done something sooner.
