Oh my God I had no idea he was being stalked.....I'm so glad Caruso & his family are ok...what a freaky thing. I wish I understood why people do that kind of crap...it's much easier to just pray you get lucky and ask for an autograph or a picture; they tend to be a wee more friendly at that point, too
Is Caruso pressing charges (I'm not usre how stalking charges work internationally) or did she carry it to a federal level and now the state is stepping in?
Sorry to continue the conversation but I'm all curious now
It apparently started out as a love obession. She actually met David and I've heard a couple of different stories about how that went, but apparently not well. Love turned to hate and the waged a campaign of hate all across the Internet from that moment on.
Charges are pending against this woman in her home country, Austria. At some point I know that the FBI got involved, probably when David started to receive the death threats.
She had made it to Mexico once before, I think in 2007, and they shut down her credit cards and put her picture up at the border crossings. She lost her job because she didn't return after two weeks and after several months had to make a deal with an Austrian paparazza to sell her story to get back home.
I believe that she said it was all a joke and that as a celebrity David should expect what she was doing and just deal with it.
Anyway, she had a sentencing hearing scheduled for April 2008 and she skipped out again, back to Mexico. Apparently the Austrian judge didn't think it was important to take her passport - even though she had skipped once before.
So she made it back to Mexico and hid out there, with her laptop, since April. For well over two years she had multiple websites under several different names all designed to trash David Caruso in any way she could. She would use one identity to claim something horrible and then support it with her other identities to make it look like she had a lot of support.
Her court appointed psychatrist diagnosed her with a profound personality disorder that could turn dangerous. That's why a lot of people were concerned about the fact she had threated David, his oldest daughter Greta and Liza Marquez, the mother of his two youngest children, and she was hiding just over the border in Tijuana.
Gossip columnists, critics and fans who don't like David would pick up on her lies and run with them. Aussiello, when he was with TV Guide, was a good example. He was still doing it over at Entertainment Weekly when Heidi was free and feeding him stuff. It was horrible to watch. Hopefully they will lock her up and take her Internet access away.
Oh, and get her some help for heavens sake!
