Dr. John and Susan Hamilton were a well-known and socially prominent couple in Oklahoma. Even though they had been married for nearly 15 years, romance seemed to surround the couple.  On Valentine's Day, Dr. John Hamilton is late for surgery, saying he had been delayed while buying his wife a gift. Before heading from the hospital to his practice, Hamilton calls one of his employees to let the practice know he’d be a few more minutes. He planned to stop by his house to pick up his appointment book. The home was only six or seven minutes from the hospital. At 11:05 am, 911 gets a call from Hamilton. He’d found his wife, naked and bloody, on the master bathroom floor.

For 12 years, Emmy award-winning actress, Eva La Rue lived in fear of an unknown stalker. The actress received hundreds of letters addressed to her and later, her daughter, that detailed threats of rape, murder, dismemberment, and more. The stalker signed the letters as "Freddie Kruger," the fictional serial killer. LaRue and her family moved several times, even out of the country, in the hopes that the stalker would not be able to find them, but the letters seemed to resume mere days or weeks after each move. The stalker even called Kaya's school, posing as her father, in an attempt to kidnap her.  Investigators identified DNA on the letters and cross-referenced that material with DNA information from commercial genealogy providers to identify relatives of the stalker. FBI agents were able to narrow down their suspect to 58-year-old James David Rogers, and a DNA sample collected from a discarded straw confirmed he was the stalker. Rogers was sentenced to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications, and two counts of stalking.
