Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror

Sam is strong, and naive at the same time, until her friends point out what he was doing. It is sad the police questioned her truth, and the DA, laughed it off in the beginning, then finally.

I would like to thank Sam, for opening herself up to the world, she will save many women from men like him.

Most of these negative reviews are from men, who are either stalkers, and women who for some reason dismiss this sort of behavior by men, because, "but he is so nice." I have spoken to my manager, she dismiss my complaint. I have spoken to HR, he listened.

I tell everyone if anything happens to me, they all have his name.

Someone complained about the cussing in the show. All I have to say is, I hope you are never stalked, track, or kidnapped, because cussing will be the last think you care about.

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.

The documentary largely relies on the victim's narration with recreated visuals, giving it a lighter tone than expected. The victim, officers, and others speak very casually, often smiling and joking, which undercuts the sense of dread. With a title like "13 years of terror," it never builds the intensity or eerie atmosphere the story demands. Instead, it portrays the obsession of one individual in a way that feels easy to watch rather than unsettling. An okay watch, but far from haunting. What puzzled me most was how everyone interviewed seemed rather at ease when the film called for greater seriousness.

One reviewer that said they found nothing about this story on the internet until a few days around the date of the release of the documentary. They need to learn how to search the internet better. On 12 Oct 2022 there was a local news story published online on a Chicago news channel and there was also at that time (2022) a GoFundMe created to support the victim in this story. Over $32,000 has been raised.

I feel like I understand the victim Samantha in this story because I've had to 'pretend' to save my own life several times. The best way in my opinion to cope with the aftermath is to put it behind you and this could appear to some people as detached. Well I challenge anyone to go through a similar circumstance, survive through your own wits, and then not distance yourself from the act. You need to do it to keep your sanity. The worst thing you can do is let an unfortunate situation traumatize you forever and ruin the rest of your life. My motto is 'Never let them win'. Don't let them take more from you than they already have.

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.
