Unfollow Me: A Terrifying True Story of a Sadistic Stalker | Kathryn Caraway
1 post | 1 read
This true crime case is told with brutal honesty, exposing the silent terror of stalking. Gripping details of kidnapping, intimate partner abuse, and surveillance using everyday tools engrained in society—and most households—uncovers systemic blindspots. From overlooked police reports to exhausting court battles, it’s a story of a woman’s resilience in the face of relentless fear. A must read for fans of true crime, survival stories, and psychological thrillers.
Stalkers don’t just hide in the shadows. Some log in.Kathryn meets Todd, a charming IT expert for the police department. He coaxes her into a brief relationship and turns a normal breakup into a reign of terror. Todd isn’t just obsessed—he’s inside Kathryn’s home network.
He doesn’t have to be in her house to watch her. Or hear her.
He sees her text messages—on his screen.
He can follow her car without ever leaving his house.
And he even tells her “You are mine. And I don’t share.”
When Todd asks Kathryn if she wants to see death coming, she tells him no. Now she waits for it every day. Dismissed by officers, Kathryn builds a case police can no longer ignore. But the more she learns about Todd’s past, the more she suspects he might be tied to the unsolved murder of a woman she has only one thing in common Todd.
And if she’s right, she might be next . . .

Kathryn has recently split from her husband, & on a night out with a friend, meets Todd who is an IT expert including carrying out work for the local police department. Their relationship never really gets off the ground, but when Kathryn wants to call it off, the charming, helpful, affable Todd shows the other side to his personality, & due to his IT expertise he has access to her phone, her security cameras, & even her car.

I found this a compelling read but one that made me extremely anxious whilst reading it - it was almost like an intense episode of 'Criminal Minds'. I know this is based on a true story, & it is frightening to think that there seems to be very

OutsmartYourShelf little protection for victims of stalking. What there is, is woefully inadequate, & basically ties the victim up in judicial knots & favours the perp. It was in equal parts infuriating & exasperating how Todd was able to use the law to harass his victims. I can only commend anyone who is resilient & strong enough to take cases like this to court & fight on in the face of such obstacles, it must be harrowing. 4🌟 3w
