Daniel Thompson stalked three women he was in romantic relationships with, including his ex-wife; James Vail, his fourth victim, was dating the third woman he stalked. Vail was murdered in the bed of Thompson’s ex-partner. Vail’s mother, Bonnie, and his ex-wife, Angelyn, bonded over the violence he introduced into their lives.

After his stepson Gauge died in an accident, John Anderson began abusing methamphetamine before he began cheating on, then abusing his partner Rachel. When she escaped with their infant son to live with family, John began trying to find her and, when he was unsuccessful, he sent increasingly more disturbing texts to Rachel, including videos where he purportedly flushed the cremains of Gauge down a toilet. These texts helped Rachel receive an order of protection against him. John had a history of violent and controlling behavior for over a decade prior to his relationship with Rachel, including being charged with aggravated stalking in 2010.
