After enduring months of stalking and threats, Peggy Klinke moved to another state to escape her stalker. With only a less-than-effective protective order, her stalker was able to track her down and travel across state lines - with a gun. Her story and her sister's advocacy has pushed stalking legislation forward, but a recent court case shows us we still have so far to go. This week’s episode is The Stalking and Murder of Peggy Klinke - Part 2. If you or someone you know is being stalked, help is available.
