00:18Just before we get into this, can I get your name?
00:21Jasmine Dawson.
00:23I have a really odd situation.
00:26I have quite a big online following and there was this man who lives in the Netherlands
00:33and found my forest.
00:34I'll message me non-stop about how obsessed he is with me.
00:37He's come to New Zealand.
00:39Just pretend someone's chasing you.
00:40He's literally flown here to find me.
00:43It's terrifying.
00:44Yeah, yeah.
00:45No, that's completely understandable.
00:46And I am so sweaty.
00:48This is the police.
00:49What is the emergency?
00:51Hi there.
00:52Yeah, I was just on the front end to 105 about a man who's been stalking me and has flown
00:57over from the Netherlands to try and find me.
01:02He's sitting down at the beach by my house at the moment.
01:04I'm looking up at our balcony.
01:06And this person has been stalking you?
01:09Yep.
01:10Yep.
01:10Good job.
01:12Good job.
01:12Hi, Tim.
01:13Hi, Tim.
01:13I don't know how he got my interviews.
01:15Like, it's...
01:15I can't find it anywhere.
01:17Yeah.
01:18Yeah.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Okay.
01:20Is he there now?
01:21Can you still take him on the beach?
01:23Yeah.
01:23Yeah.
01:43I was 16 when I met him and he was 24.
01:47I would never have looked at him and thought that he was a romantic interest.
01:52I was young and a little bit boy crazy.
01:55I know that he's watching me through the day.
01:59It's crazy.
02:00It went from this weird harassment to, I'm gonna kill your cat.
02:07And he just said, I bet you're happy to see me, bitch.
02:36I remember there was so much talk around this new show that had come out.
02:40We binged it.
02:41And I remember sitting on the couch with my flatmates and just being like, this is crazy.
02:47Like, this is nuts.
02:48And you're like, almost screaming at the TV to be like, like, dude, go, go tell the,
02:54like, go tell the police.
02:55What are you doing?
03:00One week later, it was me.
03:04Yeah.
03:15I don't feel like a celebrity at all.
03:17I don't know if we, if we have those in New Zealand.
03:20You're just kind of like people, people know me, but no, not celebrity.
03:27I don't like that.
03:30I downloaded TikTok, as I think a lot of people did in COVID lockdown.
03:34Three, two, three, three, one.
03:37I kind of got to share all parts of my life.
03:39Six years ago, I was sitting in the intensive care unit of a psych ward after trying to take my
03:44own life.
03:45From more kind of serious mental health things to just making an absolute fool of myself.
03:56It blew up.
03:58I get recognised in most countries that I go to.
04:03I had a massive viral incident with the UK where I bit into a Terry's chocolate orange.
04:08I think you just have to like.
04:12Didn't know you weren't supposed to do that.
04:13I'm getting tagged in every fricking news outlet possible.
04:16This, this is where I draw the line.
04:19Aussie TikToker.
04:20Aussie.
04:21You ready?
04:22We just.
04:23Jokes.
04:24You're supposed to smash a Terry's chocolate orange and then it falls out into segments.
04:29I did not know this information.
04:33It feels like there's a lot more eyes on me now than there used to be.
04:36I would say 99% of the time people are really lovely.
04:44I remember my flatmate at Aina being like, there's this guy that's messaged me saying
04:52that he's coming to New Zealand to find you.
04:55And I was like, what are you talking about?
04:59He messaged my business account.
05:00So I started getting messages on my business account.
05:04Being like, hi, can you put me in contact with Jess?
05:07I was like, no.
05:09Then you went back through everything, eh?
05:12Because you get so many messages all the time.
05:14I never saw them.
05:15It never seemed like anything weird.
05:16Yeah.
05:17And so I looked up his username on my profile.
05:20And when I opened it, I just saw all of these messages that I hadn't seen before.
05:30I've definitely had some weird messages in the past.
05:34You get people asking for feet pics and like really weird stuff.
05:39This was so different.
05:42It was only a space of like a couple of weeks between when he sent his first message to the
05:47ones that were saying how obsessed he is with me and that he can't stop thinking about me.
05:52And just that really quick progression was like, what is going on?
05:59My flatmates and me tried to like research everything we could to find anything out about this guy.
06:06And he just kind of was almost like erased from the internet.
06:11He had a locked Instagram profile.
06:15He had to really zoom up and he had like sunglasses on.
06:18So we didn't even really know what he looked like.
06:20We can't find anything about him except that he literally lives on the other side of the world.
06:26In the Netherlands.
06:27I think he told you that he was going to come to New Zealand and he wanted to find me.
06:35But I feel like I was still so lazy about it.
06:37Because it was overseas.
06:39There's no way that he was like coming to New Zealand.
06:42No.
06:42No.
06:43And then I think within like 48 hours, he had messaged again saying I booked the flights.
06:55Oh, he's here.
06:57Like he's, he's in the country.
07:00New Zealand's a beautiful country.
07:02I was like, maybe he's always wanted to come here.
07:04Maybe he wants to come and do the walks and he wants to come and see Queenstown.
07:10Who am I to say that this person's flown from the other side of the world to find me?
07:18Now that I know that he's in the country, I decided to check his messages.
07:25Jazz, can you forgive me?
07:26I've done something quite bad and I don't know what to do.
07:30And it kind of has something to do with you.
07:32Dot, dot, dot.
07:33I'm sorry.
07:35I start freaking out.
07:39Like what the hell does this mean?
07:41And then very quickly after that, I get another message that says,
07:47I'm mentally not in the place at the moment and I don't want to do something to scare you.
07:53And I can't promise myself not to do something with the information that I've gathered,
07:58even if it's affecting your wellbeing, I think.
08:06And that was when I knew this is not good.
08:13I was so terrified.
08:15And then because everyone else was trying to stay calm,
08:19I felt like I was screaming into a void of like, this is really bad.
08:26I don't, I don't know what to do.
08:31I was like, look, there's nothing to be gained from freaking out.
08:35He's either found us or he hasn't.
08:37And I kind of, I remember you saying, mansplained to you something to that extent.
08:41But you said the worst thing that could happen is he finds our house and that's not going to happen.
08:52I did not sleep at all that night.
08:53I went downstairs and got the knife from the kitchen and brought it up and slept with it.
08:59That knife, that Japanese knife.
09:06We decide that the next day I could maybe do like a written police report
09:11because it felt too dramatic to go to the police now.
09:15Like he hasn't directly done anything.
09:47My name is Zeni Gibson and I'm 25.
09:50I met Greg when I was 16.
09:52And shortly after meeting me, Greg confessed his love for me, unsolicited.
09:56And I rejected him.
09:58Greg began to harass me online.
09:59And this harassment has continued for eight years.
10:02I do not know Greg and I have never provoked him to behave as he has.
10:14Reading Zeni's story for the first time.
10:18It shattered me.
10:22Reading everything that Greg put Zeni through.
10:29He was saying these things.
10:30Some of the most horrific things that I've ever read in my life.
10:50She was so happily curled up.
10:53Hello.
10:54Hi.
10:56Oh my goodness.
10:58Isn't she cute?
10:59You're so cute.
11:00Hello.
11:02Greg was my boss's boyfriend when I worked at the Ara Valley School holiday program.
11:13We'd always come out here and play the, like all the children, you know, in summer or whatever.
11:18So it'd be around here.
11:22He used to wash windows down at the end of our street, you know, when the cars are parked and
11:27they come out with a squeegee bottle.
11:30I kind of knew of him.
11:31He used to hang around in the park.
11:33And I guess I'd like, you know, walk past and see Greg and, hi Greg.
11:37He was my boss's boyfriend.
11:39So, you know, I'd smile at anyone.
11:41So this is where you first met Greg?
11:43Yeah, yeah.
11:44It would have been either in there or here.
11:45I don't remember.
11:46It was so insignificant.
11:51I was 16 when I met him and he was 24.
11:5624 felt like 40.
11:58He was so far removed from me.
12:00I would never have looked at him and thought that he was a romantic interest.
12:10One day after work, it was raining and my mum offered to take my boss home and Greg was there.
12:17I sat in the back seat with Greg and my boss's five-year-old daughter.
12:24I was looking out the window and I was thinking about my high school crush and I was daydreaming about
12:29him.
12:31He did become my boyfriend.
12:33I started drawing hearts in the window's condensation.
12:37Just like mindlessly thinking, oh, I wonder if he's going to text me.
12:42And then Greg and my boss and the little girl jumped out of the car and me and mum went
12:48home.
12:49When I think back to that time, there was nothing scary about it.
12:53The car ride was perfectly normal.
12:55If anything, a happy memory should be associated with it because I was falling in love.
13:01But it's incredibly haunting.
13:11If there's one thing that I, that time and time again I have played back in my head, why, what,
13:21just why did I do that?
13:22That one thing, oh, it's raining, have a lift, you know?
13:28And isn't, yeah, fucking hell.
13:30Yeah, why couldn't if I said, would you like a raincoat?
13:35Here's a broly.
13:36It's Wellington.
13:38Good luck.
13:39I can't believe that that car ride led to where we are today.
13:51It feels like there's been a mistake somewhere.
14:02Mum carries so much guilt for taking Greg home in the car that day.
14:06She thinks it's her fault and she wishes she could go back and not offer that ride.
14:13A couple days later, when I was at home, I found a note in my letterbox, like, unfolded in it.
14:19It said, I love you too, with all of these hearts all over it.
14:22And I thought, oh, God, this is one of my guy friends from school pulling my leg.
14:27God, I wish that was what happened.
14:31Soon after the letter arrived, I got a text from an unknown number.
14:37I replied, who is this? Ha ha ha.
14:40They responded, it's Greg. Why are you laughing?
14:43I thought, oh, how bizarre.
14:47There was not even a slither of possibility in my mind that he could have sent me this letter.
14:53It said, I love you too.
14:54I thought, I don't love you.
14:57What have you told you I love you?
14:59But he texted me and he said, come to the park.
15:03And I remember thinking honestly very little about that.
15:07I thought, okay, like, what?
15:11I was so confused.
15:15So with my little 16-year-old pep in my step, I ran over to the park thinking, ha ha,
15:21this is going to be so funny.
15:23It wasn't. Spoiler alert.
15:28Greg was sitting just up here.
15:30And I was kind of like, I don't know.
15:32If anything, I was like, you know, I just clocked out of work.
15:35Like I was a little bit springing myself or whatever.
15:37And just kind of like came up here like this to him.
15:40He was sitting with his dog, Toby.
15:43I kind of just like sat down next to him and said, what's this about?
15:47Like, what are you doing?
15:47And he was deadpan.
15:49And I just remember him sitting here and saying, I saw you drawing the hearts in the window.
15:55I love you too.
15:59Yeah, that he wanted to be with me and that he loved me.
16:01And I just remember being so, um, like, whoa.
16:09I felt so uncomfortable.
16:12I was patting Toby and patting Toby and patting Toby.
16:16I couldn't let him go.
16:17He was the only physical barrier between me and Greg.
16:20I was very polite.
16:22And I said, oh, no, like, that's not what I'm.
16:26That's not what I mean.
16:27I know.
16:28Like, you're dating my boss.
16:30Like, sorry.
16:31You've misunderstood me.
16:33Like apologizing.
16:34You were just a kid.
16:36I was just a kid.
16:39Oh, I want to go back and give her a hug.
16:41I didn't think it was going to be so weird.
16:46Oh, I wish this is what happened.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Yeah.
16:50I remember getting up to leave and my hands were just coated in that dirty dog grease.
16:57I felt so disgusting.
16:59I wanted to scrub, like, everything off me.
17:02And I wanted to just get as far away from that moment as I could.
17:12A couple of weeks ago, there was a man from literally the other side of the world that was messaging
17:16me about his obsessions with me.
17:18Um, sending some very scary messages.
17:20And he then flew all the way to New Zealand to physically find me.
17:23It was terrifying.
17:24And the reason that I'm posting this...
17:26Thank you for sharing your personal story with us, Jazz.
17:29I, too, was stalked for months in 2010 by an ex-boyfriend.
17:33He traveled across the country and eventually kidnapped me.
17:37My case was highly publicized and I always stated stalking was the beginning and the result that could have been
17:44mitigated had we criminalized this behavior.
17:50There was nowhere to go, no one to hear.
17:54He pushed me out and he's screaming at me.
17:57You know, he's like, you slut, you slut, I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
18:00And I kept getting knocked out and then coming back into consciousness.
18:05Tess's story was...
18:06It was completely avoidable.
18:10It's like what horror movies are.
18:19Aotea FM 94.6 will put a smile on your dial.
18:26Well, it's a very special day today because we have the wonderful Nortesa in the FM house.
18:32Welcome, Nortesa.
18:33Thank you, thank you for having me.
18:35Now, we have a bit of a sensitive topic today.
18:39Today's conversation includes kidnapping, violence and trauma.
18:43But there will be no nudity.
18:45No, unfortunately.
18:54I grew up on Great Barrier Island and I was a little maniac.
19:00I spent a lot of time outside and I really loved being in nature.
19:06And I loved creating and singing and it was a beautiful upbringing there.
19:27It's a small community, so everyone is just there for each other.
19:33Doesn't matter how long you've been gone, you're considered a barrier, right?
19:40It's always got such a special place in my heart.
19:44You're welcome.
19:46Thank you so much.
19:47Can I just come over here?
19:50Hello, Scooby.
19:51Cheers, mate.
19:52Good to see you.
19:53Welcome home.
19:56Lovely to have you back.
19:58I've already cried once today.
20:01I bet you have.
20:01I can't even cry.
20:01I bet you have.
20:04Yeah.
20:05Lots of memories good, eh? Not so good.
20:07Yeah.
20:10It's been over a decade since I was stalked and eventually kidnapped.
20:27So in 2010, my mum was renting a property and her shower smashed.
20:34And a glazier arrived to come and fix it.
20:40And she got talking to him and thought, you'd be great for my daughter.
20:49I came over to the house and met him.
20:54I was 18 and he was maybe only a year older than me.
21:00I was young and a little bit boy crazy.
21:05He was handsome and had a charming smile.
21:10And I didn't look for much more than that at the time.
21:22I thought, OK, I'll let this person take me out on a date.
21:28Um, yeah.
21:30And that proceeded to haunt me for over a decade.
21:46He did fix the shower.
21:48It was probably the only good thing he really did.
21:56Yeah.
22:04On our second date, we were sitting in his car.
22:11And he kissed me.
22:14And we proceeded to make out in his car like teenagers do.
22:22And then the next thing I know, he was holding me down and giving me this horrific hickey.
22:39I felt like I had been branded.
22:43He said to me in that moment, he was like, you're mine now.
22:54This person had come into my life and it was like a tornado.
23:01This is what we should do. This is what we should do.
23:03I need to be around you. I want to be around you.
23:05And I felt like I couldn't hear myself think.
23:08It was within weeks that we were living together.
23:13I thought if it didn't work out that I could just ask him to leave and that would be fine.
23:21Boy, was I wrong.
23:22I don't know.
23:41Following the conversation on the hill, Greg began reaching out to me online.
23:50The way I knew how to describe it at the time was that he had a crush on me.
23:55For the first years, they were pretty inconsistent.
23:58He sent me messages saying,
24:02I'm not trying to date you, by the way, but if you wanted to date me, of course I'd want
24:06to.
24:08Often I'd get a message on Valentine's Day or when you'd see me walking around Wellington.
24:15Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you got treated like the beautiful queen you are.
24:18But I also hope not because that would mean you have a potential love interest.
24:21But still hope it happened.
24:22But just maybe from someone you aren't interested in romantically because I wish it was me.
24:26Okay, bye.
24:26Bye.
24:29There was one point he sent me a bunch of memes.
24:32He clearly found a website that had a meme creator on it.
24:36Yo dog, I heard you like ignoring and blocking me.
24:39So I made you some memes to ignore before you block me.
24:42So you can ignore me and then block me.
24:45They were so stupid.
24:54During this time he used his dog to try and emotionally manipulate me.
24:59Why won't Zeni date my dad? Did I do something wrong?
25:02Does she know how amazing he thinks she is?
25:05She's the most beautiful girl inside and out to him even though she laughed in his face and mocked him
25:09with her friends.
25:10Does she know he'd do anything to be with her? I thought she loved animals.
25:14I just want my dad to be happy.
25:19His messages weren't mean.
25:23They were annoying.
25:26They were invasive.
25:30They were weird.
25:33Straight ahead, get over Zeni and move on.
25:36Swerving off, Greg, the guy with the dog Toby.
25:39Keep trying even though she shows no interest.
25:53While Greg's harassment was in his kind of love bombing phase, I didn't know where he lived.
26:01It felt like he could be anywhere.
26:09Wellington is this really unique landscape where it's just surrounded in hills.
26:13And it felt like I was just kind of trapped in this fishbowl.
26:27It felt like everything was caving in on me.
26:33I felt like anywhere I went, I was being observed.
26:44Every message I got over those years, I just kind of put into this invisible bag on my back and
26:53it just kept getting heavier and heavier and heavier.
26:56My anxiety slowly crept up and crept up and crept up.
27:06I felt so anxious all the time.
27:14My nervous system was fucked.
27:23Everything in my life just kind of dimmed.
27:27I was finding it really hard to leave my house.
27:30And I found it really hard to get out of bed.
27:33I started spending all day every day in my room.
27:38Stopped hanging out with friends.
27:45I was feeling really targeted, but the thought of walking into a police station and showing them these memes made
27:52me cringe.
27:56I could see them laughing in my face.
28:03I definitely thought that if I could ignore it for long enough, he'd stop.
28:09I don't know why, but his fixation just intensified throughout the years.
28:21And I felt like I had no control over that.
28:37I didn't sleep at all that night.
28:42Like, what the hell does this mean?
28:46The next morning, I was due to be filming for a campaign that I was doing.
28:51That was all about getting out with your friends and having fun and trying new things.
28:54OK, we have our hat with all of our options.
28:56Who's going to pick it out?
29:02We were just all having fun.
29:05I'm scared.
29:06I'm on the ground.
29:07I'm on the ground.
29:08I'm not down.
29:10Filming us conquering our fears, not knowing that our biggest fear was about to happen.
29:22Me and Irina are driving home together to get to our house and you would turn and there's like a
29:27beach in front of you.
29:28We saw this guy sitting on the beach.
29:31And I remember making a joke to Irina and being like, hey, Peter, not thinking it's Peter.
29:37But the second that the house comes into view, we see this paper bag.
29:44Before you even opened it, I just knew.
29:48For some reason you had your camera out, which, like, I don't know what, what were you?
29:53My brain went into, I have to document this if it is him.
29:56I have to.
29:56I know true crime. I need to.
30:00Irina, she's Dutch.
30:01She starts opening the bag.
30:02That's Dutch treats. That's Dutch treats.
30:04And she's just like, these are Dutch treats. These are Dutch treats.
30:07And I just start panicking.
30:09And there is a letter and a card in there.
30:14Dutch treats.
30:15And my eyes just darted immediately to the bottom.
30:18Oh!
30:20Where I saw his name.
30:23I don't think I've ever felt fear like that in my life.
30:33Hey, Jazz. First of all, I'm sorry.
30:37That is kind of creepy, but I just couldn't hold myself back from doing this.
30:43I really wanted to give you this letter and some Dutch snacks as a gift for you.
30:48I hope you will like them.
30:52I will try not to slide into your DMs or at your house again, because I do feel bad for
30:58invading your own space.
30:59I am sending...
31:02I am sending you a hug through these words.
31:05Yours sincerely, Peter.
31:14It was like a really, really fast escalation.
31:20I never thought in a million years he'd be able to find me.
31:26That he knows where I live.
31:28That he found it.
31:29And he found it so quickly.
31:38Part of it, he's trying to be so nice and then he's so creepy at the same time.
31:42You will try.
31:43You will try to not come to my house.
31:45Like what the...
31:47I'm sending you a hug just gives me this visceral, like,
31:51I don't want you to...
31:52I don't want you to touch me.
31:53I don't want you near me.
31:54I don't...
31:55Ugh.
32:02He's literally flown here to find me.
32:05It's terrifying.
32:06Yeah, yeah.
32:07No, that's completely understandable.
32:09My address is so hard to find...
32:11I don't know.
32:12I have no idea how he's done it.
32:15I think he's potentially sitting down on the beach, but I'm not sure if it's him.
32:19Okay, just hold on for me.
32:24I just remember you going, Jeremy, he found us.
32:26He's down at the beach.
32:28I said, cool, I'll go down and scope him out.
32:30The worst decision we could have made was to send you to the stalker.
32:39Jeremy starts taking photos and he's like, I'm like 99% sure that it's him.
32:47Oh, my God.
32:49How did he find out, Jeremy?
32:52Oh, my God.
33:02How did he find out, Jeremy?
33:02Oh, my God.
33:04If you do see him at all, or if he makes any approach to you, anything like that, you'll
33:09have to call triple one straight away.
33:11Okay.
33:12All right.
33:12Thank you for calling.
33:13Thanks.
33:14All right.
33:15I think he wanted me to be scared.
33:19He was going in between, like, what looked like writing notes and then looking up.
33:25He was observing and he was, he could see us and he's found me.
33:30He seemed very, like, cold.
33:35Like, he, you know, I'm not in his head, I don't know, but it felt like he was kind of
33:39enjoying the show.
33:42And then I called 111.
33:46This person has been stalking you?
33:49Yep.
33:50Yeah.
33:51Yeah.
33:51Okay.
33:52Is he there now?
33:53Can you still see him on the beach?
33:55Yeah.
33:56My other, my other housemates down there sitting opposite him to watch him.
33:59Okay.
34:01Just the fact that he's flown to the other side of the world to find this fucking terrifying and now
34:06he's found my address.
34:07Yeah.
34:08Okay.
34:10I don't know how long it took.
34:12It felt like maybe an hour before the police got there.
34:14And by that point, he had gone.
34:20Police took, like, a really thorough report.
34:22You could see this almost, like, panic in their faces.
34:30This is bad, but legally we can't do anything.
34:39Because stalking is not illegal.
34:51Yeah, they said that there's nothing that they can do until he does something.
34:56So it was kind of like, we just wait until he does what, God knows what, I don't know.
35:04But you shouldn't stay in this house.
35:06And by that, I just wanted to hear how I found him.
35:08After all, he was going to get, he said, I'm not here.
35:10And I just wanted to hear what I said you were.
35:11I felt like, I was not here.
35:21I felt like I was in my case at the same time.
35:32The first time I tried to leave him, we had been dating for a while and I was like, oh,
35:36we're
35:36for maybe six weeks and he had gotten jealous about me going out with some friends.
35:54He essentially thought that my friends were sluts and that I would go out and be a slut
35:59and he didn't want me hanging out with these people.
36:08I was on the phone to a girlfriend of mine.
36:13He started to get more and more aggravated.
36:19And then he pulled out a knife.
36:27It was a threat of,
36:30this is what I can do if you don't conform.
36:37If you want to go out with your friends, you won't be.
36:49I remember at first thinking, this is ridiculous.
36:54What are you doing?
36:58And then I looked in his eyes and I just saw black.
37:09I said to my friend, I have to go. He's got a knife.
37:14She called the police.
37:20And then about five minutes later, the armed defenders were breaking down our door.
37:27He was arrested and I truly believed that he wouldn't come back after that.
37:49When I heard him knock on that window two hours later, I was like, what in the world?
37:57He stayed out there that whole night, constantly knocking, calling my name, asking to be let in, apologising.
38:08Saying he'll never do it again. By the morning, he'd just worn me down.
38:15I let him in. He was all apologies.
38:19He had said that the issue was that we were living with other people.
38:26And, you know, if we were on our own, we could create a beautiful life.
38:30It was all these other people that were causing this trouble.
38:35I was feeling disorientated by everything.
38:40And that's when he suggested, why don't I get a place and come stay together?
38:47And so he had convinced me to move in with him into an apartment.
38:53And things got significantly worse after that.
39:08In March 2022, Greg's harassment completely flipped.
39:18I have no idea what triggered the change.
39:23And I don't think I ever will.
39:24But from that day forward, the harassment became gruesome.
39:49It's my favourite thing in the world.
39:50I animals like you.
39:51Oh, she loves you.
39:53Oh my God.
39:55She's dribbling all the way down.
39:57I'm so sorry.
39:57You know what?
39:58It's an honour.
40:01Lola is my family's cat.
40:02We adopted her as a kitten.
40:11My mum and dad live very close, but they were separated.
40:14And my dad had a child.
40:16And Lola was like, this is way too loud.
40:19I hate this.
40:19So she came to the park.
40:21And that's how everyone met her.
40:22Oh.
40:23Yeah.
40:24Lola just started hanging out there and she never came home.
40:27She made so many friends.
40:30The drunks in the park loved her.
40:32Everyone knew who Lola was.
40:34People started drawing murals of Lola.
40:36She was royalty.
40:38Lola.
40:39Lola.
40:40Queen of Arro Park.
40:41Lola has a whole mural.
40:43Lola has a whole mural.
40:44Someone gave her that.
40:45My gosh.
40:46Lola has more legs there than Lola has in real life.
40:49I know.
40:50Aren't they generous?
40:51I don't know.
40:51It was before the attack or not.
40:57She was tragically attacked by a greyhound.
41:01She lost a leg in that.
41:03So Lola became a three-legged cat.
41:06And that just, you know, sparked even more popularity amongst the community.
41:13Lola's the original Arro Valley influencer.
41:192,000 followers.
41:21All organically growing.
41:25She kind of became like an icon of Arro Valley.
41:34I love it when she sits like this, like a sphinx.
41:38Hello beautiful.
41:40What do you think of that?
41:43Oh my god, I love her.
41:46Hi.
41:47There we go.
41:52She lives the best life.
41:56I was getting ready for bed one night.
41:59And my phone led up to a message from Greg.
42:05Last chance to get back to me or your mum's gonna find Lola's head in her letterbox.
42:16I was flatting about a ten minute drive from my mum's house.
42:20And my heart sunk.
42:23I was so scared.
42:26I couldn't comprehend that someone could be that evil.
42:32That was a real outcome.
42:35I thought Lola's head was gonna be in the letterbox.
42:44Decapitation of your cat is not something that you can just go to sleep and think,
42:48Oh well.
42:49You know, it's not.
42:51I think that that's one of those sort of alarm bells when people start saying they're gonna hurt your animals.
42:55You know, that means you can do other things as well.
42:58I took that particularly seriously, I must say.
43:03She really likes things.
43:04She's mad on them.
43:06Are you just the most precious thing in the world?
43:09The answer is yes.
43:10The answer is yes.
43:12When he made those threats, it became real.
43:20And I thought if he's willing to do that, what else has he been willing to do?
43:26He's threatening to kill me, kill himself, everything.
43:31I hope to meet you in the next life soon.
43:33There's a chance that this guy is actually gonna hurt me.
43:37You sent me hundreds and hundreds of messages that were violent and gruesome.
43:44I was forwarding those emails to the police and they didn't respond.
43:48What did the police do?
43:49What are they there for?
43:50And I thought, oh, it's never gonna end.
44:08If I could take a cut out of those emails or if I was in the next life soon...
44:12Yes.
44:12It's not true.
44:13I don't know.
44:14I don't know.
44:15I don't know.
44:15I don't know.
44:37You
