This is a case I looked into a few years ago. I read the report and exchanged one or two tweets with her mother. I don’t know why but her case got to me more than others.
Now there is a documentary. The police response at the time was even more lackadaisical than was already known. (I’m still in the middle of watching the documentary at the moment.)
What I remember is that the police didn’t have the IT expertise at hand that would have determined that the other messages were coming from him too.
Her case particularly also is why I feel strongly that cases of stalking and harassment should be dealt with very differently.
(That reminds me. Does anyone know how that big legal action against the police in England is going? It made the news when it was filed but I haven’t seen any more news about it since. I know that a lawsuit can easily take one or more years.)
Lauren’s calls to the police, to me, sound like she was very concerned (afraid), but doing her best to stay above it.
