S2 / E67 Copycat Stalker: Imitating Mandy Lynn

Mandy Lynn discovered her husband was cheating on her with a much younger woman and left him. When she moved out her husband showed up to her new apartment, trapped her inside, and assaulted her for hours. After he was arrested, Mandy Lynn was granted a protective order against him, and then his new girlfriend attempted to imitate details of Mandy Lynn's life - buying an identical motorcycle to hers, dressing like her, and mirroring her style and poses in Instagram photos. She began stalking Mandy Lynn in person by following her into places and driving past her apartment, blaring her horn. Mandy Lynn began dating again and felt confident enough to post a picture of her new boyfriend on Instagram...but her stalker sent him a friend request and DM'd him. Now Mandy Lynn uses her education and experience in social work, domestic violence victim advocacy, and identifying personality disorders to help others dealing with the same type of issues.
