Amy: 我分享了自己被跟踪的经历,成功将跟踪者Morrison送入监狱,并服刑至科罗拉多州法律规定的最长刑期。在节目中,我公开了许多不愉快的细节,这对我来说是一个治愈的过程。我也很感激我的朋友、家人和其他受害者愿意参与到节目中,他们的视角丰富了我的故事。通过节目,我了解到一些之前为了保护我而未曾透露给我的信息,这让我对事件有了更全面的认识。我意识到自己过去对事件的处理方式过于压抑,应该更早地向身边人寻求帮助。过去,我曾因事件而感到内疚和羞耻,但现在我已经释然。通过倾听其他人的经历,我意识到自己当时的情感和精神状态并不好,应该更坦诚地与他人沟通。许多人都不知道我经历的事件的严重程度,而我作为受害者,不得不保持表面平静。现在回过头来看,我希望能更早地向他人敞开心扉。许多人联系我分享了他们类似的经历,这让我意识到这类事件的普遍性。节目播出后,有多位受害者联系了我,这让我非常感激。他们中的一些人也是节目的忠实听众,并通过节目确认了我的跟踪者就是他们的跟踪者。我仍在努力寻找其他受害者,并希望赋能他们站出来。由于追诉时效等原因,很难继续追究Morrison的责任。我试图关闭Morrison创建的我的假社交媒体账号,但这非常困难。Morrison或其他人仍在使用我的假社交媒体账号。我试图参与到倡导社区中,以推动立法改革。我与科罗拉多州司法委员会负责人会面,并参与到相关立法的推动中。我参与了科罗拉多州的立法听证会,并作证支持了一项关于网络欺凌的议案。我在立法听证会上作证时比预期更加情绪化。我听到其他受害者的故事后,更加难以控制自己的情绪。关于网络欺凌的议案最终获得通过。我希望能通过自己的努力,为他人带来积极的改变,帮助他人让我在治愈的过程中不断前进。我希望提高人们对跟踪犯罪的重视程度,并认为应该对跟踪犯罪处以更严厉的惩罚。我认为司法管辖区之间缺乏沟通,这阻碍了对跟踪犯罪的有效打击。我认为司法管辖区之间应该加强沟通,特别是对于跨州甚至跨国的网络跟踪案件。我认为应该建立一个全国性的跟踪者数据库,这可以有效保护其他受害者,并追究跟踪者的责任。跟踪犯罪受害者倡导团体规模较小,需要更多人参与。 Tiffany: 我们希望通过节目帮助更多受害者找到彼此,Amy的案例完美地实现了这个目标。Amy的家人和朋友的支持,以及提供的证据,帮助我们完整地展现了事件的全貌。通过节目,我们向听众展示了Morrison的真实面目,以及他给Amy带来的巨大伤害。我们团队很荣幸能参与到这个故事的制作中。Morrison在假释听证会上没有表现出任何改变。Amy的努力为其他受害者带来了希望。

Shownotes Transcript

*Content warning: stalking, cyberstalking, emotional, mental, and psychological abuse, domestic violence, and murder.

Something Was Wrong Season 19 featuring Amy's episodes was released on January 11th, 2024 and finished airing February 8th of the same year. In the five episodes, Amy's tenacity and resiliency became resoundingly clear as she and her loved ones recounted all they faced amidst years of stalking and cyber stalking. Through what felt like a never-ending criminal justice and legal battle, Amy would eventually put her stalker, Morrison, behind bars, and she would share in hopes of finding more of his victims. She returns today to share about all that's come next in the parole process since Season 19 ended, and all that she continues to work for in honor of other victims of stalking. The Broken Cycle Media team is immensely grateful for Amy's continued candidness and advocacy, as well as the time, energy, and awareness she's offered our listeners.
