Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror

I feel sorry for Samantha and other female victims who have been stalked, sexually assaulted or kidnapped.

I'm more so upset at the lack of EMPATHY in some of these reviews.

First of all, why do you all assume that Hulu would put a fake documentary on their streaming platform! That's ignorant to even post or think that. The story is definitely true.

Second of all, It's obvious that some of you that are posting negative comments clearly didn't watch and pay attention to the documentary or maybe just plain dumb and heartless. Just a lot of NEGATIVE NANCY'S posting reviews that make absolutely no SENSE.

Lastly, I pray that Samantha is seeking the professional help that she needs. I admire her strength to tell her story to the world. We live in a very judgmental world where a bunch of know-it-alls think their life is better. I'm sure Samantha was scrutinized for coming forward. She is a victim who needs love and support. No one can tell her how to feel or how to tell her story. I hope she continues to bring awareness to situations like this because it's very SERIOUS and should not be overlooked.

First of all, the victim, Samantha is unlikeable and hard to believe she is a therapist, the way she shrugged off red flag after red flag is disturbing.

In addition, this came off as a mockumentary and not a serious documentary.

However, despite the above, the reason I'm calling bs on this is due to the fact that there is NO report anywhere online regarding this crime or sentencing. For such a serious crime, there should have been quite a few news stories on it, but not even ONE. The only stories floating around are referencing this "documentary".

Highly disappointing, I stopped watching after episode one.

I'd heard of this case through close friends and followed the story as it was updated through a small news station. Hearing this more intimate re-telling made me realize how much worse the situation was for her and how disturbing the perpetrator was. He was calculating and clearly preparing for this abduction. I'm so glad she made it out alive and is using her voice to educate others on the dangers of stalking and sexual violence. People don't believe women as much as they should.

The only reason I'm commenting is because I'm seeing so many reviews saying that this never happened. I know Christopher personally. He talked to me over a decade ago about her. I still have all the messages. He even asked me to attend the Red Wings game with him because she didn't want to go.

He told me the whole story about how he kidnapped her. Watching this documentary to me was like watching a rerun of a story I already knew. At any rate, I assure you, it happened.

Dear Samantha,

I don't even have the words express how sorry I am for the years of pain you endured - the stalking, the abuse, the emotional torment. I am in awe of your strength and resilience. It's more than anyone should ever have to bear.

The emotional impact is overwhelming, filled with a desperate anger and a hope that it will just finally go away. It seems to have arrived the moment everything else was exhausted-when there was nothing left to give.

I am so terribly sorry for all you have had to endure. There was a moments a flicker, where you may have lost your life. That reality is horrifying.

I hope with my heart that you are well. May bright lights shine upon your path, and may God bless you with love and peace.
