Another tragic thing about this death, is that Bardo's name will forever be tagged to Schaeffer's which I think was his ultimate goal, such as with Chapman/Lennon.
It seems like Rebecca was just someone trying to become a working actor and wasn’t caught up in being a famous celebrity. It’s just such a tragic story. You got a wonder how the private investigator and his brother feel knowing that they helped him commit that murder albeit unknowingly.
Yes! I have to wonder why the brother thought that buying a gun for someone who had a previous disturbing history was a good idea. Especially since the dirtbag had already been turned down for a gun purchase. This type of thing should be against the law. In fact I’m pretty sure it is. Such a tragedy.
@@waitwhat9412 So money was behind the idea of buying a gun for a mentally disturbed person who had already been turned down to purchase one? Okay, it's still stupid and terrible!
I’m watching this knowing my own intercom is broken. I’m getting it fixed.. I need to stop procrastinating on fixing things that keep me safe. Thank you Dr Grande.
My best friend from high school later became OBSESSED with Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. It was creepy because he was 20-21 at the time while the two singers were 15 or 16. He wrote letters to them many times. I don’t think he was disturbed enough to stalk them, but his obsession with them caused me to eventually stop talking to him. It just didn’t feel right for an adult - even a very young adult - to be so obsessed with girls in their mid-teens.
I think immature, socially awkward guys get obsessed with younger girls because they have a harder time connecting to women their own age(?) Not really sure, I'm just practicing without a license.
The Schaffer case is mentioned in The Gift Of Fear by Gavin De Becker. When you're young in adolescence, it's quite normal to have celebrity crushes. However obsession in adulthood is rather sick indeed. It's a case of wanting someone unavailable you cannot have. There are groupies and then there are obsessed fans. Celebrities have no anonymity or privacy. For many people celebrities are societal role models.
I never answer unexpected knocks on my door, and I'm a complete nobody. If a guy who looked like him came to my home even once, I'm never answering my door again
Indeed, "nobodies" don't get the press, but do get killed. It happens more often than many realize. And almost every woman has been stalked, sometimes unaware for quite some time. I don't know how one can know which stalkers will go right to killing, but all will eventually attack.
@Jo Pearson its weird and in hindsight we can say should have had it fixed, or asked them to call when arrived. During that time people didn't fear and hide like they do now, celebrities or regular people. Just was a freer time, he used to his advantage , led to her untimely death 💀 sad. RIP Rebecca never watched my sister Sam tbh not my kind if show, but you were beautiful in heart and photos 🙏 ❤
It is so incredibly tragic that a beautiful young actress was, in some ways, the poster child for creating and passing anti-stalking laws. But putting a face with a story is powerful and these anti-stalking laws are not only for celebrities but for anyone who is being threatened. RIP, Rebecca.
I'll never forget when this happened. Rebecca was well-liked and considered a rising talent. I understand there were those who tried to dissuade her from writing back to fans because of safety concerns. Unbelievably sad 😞
Exactly. This is why celebrities avoid signing autographs and taking pics with people. After John Lennon and then Rebecca Schaefer who would trust anyone?
I will never understand why people think they have the right to control celebrities lives. That they know better than them and they should be thankful. Great video Dr Grande. Hope you are having a nice day!!

@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus Regarding Dr Grande... what do you mean and why? The stuff you said was all psychoanalytic and probably not part of Psy 100. Dr. Grande was a professor and probably taught Psy 100. So what exactly do you mean?
I remember watching her being shot on television when I was growing up because it was captured on a security camera & I've never forgot that. Rest In Peace Rebecca 🙏
Bob G she was very Attractive seem like a Sweet Lady wow I know you still deal with that was worst I bet I hope you will heal from that ordeal eventually that was Disturbing and sad
I feel so at home on this channel, with the awesome Dr Grandè...... And the best comment section ever.... My favorite. TH-cam channel... 👏🌺... This channel has it all...! Drama, comedy, sarcasm. Love and respect... 🙌🎉🎭😎💯🐸
I remember seeing Bardo’s account of the murder. He seemed to LOVE to talk about every little detail, as though he really got off on it. It was sickening. Poor Rebecca.
This isn't the major issue often discussed about this case, but one of the saddest parts of this story for me has always been that Rebecca was an only child. Her parents lost their one and only. Not only did Rebecca die, but her parents didn't get to experience the joy of seeing their parenting efforts come to fruition as Rebecca matured. And as she had no siblings, her parents lost their only chance to do so. They didn't get to see her develop a career, pursue other artistic interests, marry, have children herself. They never had grandchildren. I think people who have lost their only child to murder have a very complex loss.
Another new shirt! I love this one too, but I’m thinking yesterday was my absolute favorite . It reminded me of fall, which is the best time of year ♥️.
Thank you Dr. Grande for yet another great video. I wonder how the people who innocently helped him find Rebecca, and the brother who bought the gun for him felt after the poor girl was murdered.
I am sure it has stuck with them for life. I remember reading that Pam Dawber and Mark Harmon were devastated. They did not have anything to do with revealing her address, but they had helped her move into that apartment and settle in there.
me too! If im really busy, i practice delayed gratification by making myself wait to watch, sort of as a reward for being good and completing my daily tasks ! but, i worry about Dr Grande sometimes .. He looks so tired in todays upload. I hope his fans realize how much he does for us!
Haven't commented as much lately but wanted you to know I still watch every video! You have been a immense help to me during my Psychology graduate program, my focus being behavioral so thank you for all the awesome info you provide. I wish you were one of my actual professors!
This was one of the first cases I remember watching on the then-new Court TV. One thing I’ll never forget is how Bardo described carrying the gun in a bag and grabbing it impulsively when Schaeffer rebuffed him. But when he was asked to demonstrate what happened, he reached behind him in slow motion, retrieving the gun tucked into his belt and crouching/shooting like some kind of TV character. Very bizarre. That pretty much sealed his fate.
@@pixied1028 Yes! I do remember-it was ultra weird when he imitated her crying, “WHY?” I kind of wish Dr Grande had mentioned the name of the psychosis people have when they mistakenly believe they’re in personal relationships with celebrities.
For some reason I think about Rebecca's and Bjork's stalkers from time to time. Parasocial relationships seem so terrifying and that's just compounded nowadays with social media because info (both private and public) is more easily within reach.
Yea and on a related note there's direct contact now thanks to twitter and cameo and TH-cam. Seems like the barrier is growing thinner. That and influencer culture = the feeling of relatability to someone they barely know. Even if they realized the actor wasnt the character, they may delude themselves with thinking there's a friendship bx the celeb always "responds" to the posts. It's very strange. But once again as with many other killers, the cause is often being rejected or getting indignant and possessive over someone that doesn't "belong" to them. We need to figure out how to teach ppl that they aren't entitled to anyone bc there are so many ppl who have lost their lives just for saying no :(
One of the main themes in Dr. Grande's videos is learning and keeping boundaries! Mental illnesses can cause people to have trouble here. Mental health professionals try to help with these problems.
@@bthomson it's true, I just wish it was more common. If they had more funding to do outpatient programs or a Codep group program that had to have a counselor to facilitate. Bc they need to realize they have the problem first... I feel like that's usually why it doesn't happen / doesn't improve.
Imagine hearing a knock at your door, looking down and seeing a small cactus sitting there. I feel like Dr. Grande fans would instantly know it was him.
I was just talking about Rebecca the other day. I loved *My Sister Sam.* Her death prompted actress Theresa Saldana, who was viciously attacked by a stalker, helped pass the _Driver's Privacy Protection Act_ in response to Schaeffer's murder.
Thank you kindly, this was spot on. The best thing from this terrible homicide was that we finally got the anti-stocking laws started and protections put into place. Her death is sad, but not in vain.
They also will write unusual fan letters, and usually make one to two attempts at contact before the murder attempt. The fan letters reveal that the person writing the letter is in live with and very familiar with them even though they have never met. This info is legit info from a company that protects high profile clients.
YES! This is a video I've been waiting for you to cover! 😍 You're such a prolific uploader that at some point I hope you cover the cases of Ronald Clark O'Bryan, Brenda Ann Spencer, and/ or Seung-Hui Cho. Thank you so much, Dr. Grande!
Forensic psych student here to say I absolutely adore your channel. I share it with anyone with similar interests. Wish you much success on YT and thank you for the amazing content!
When a person makes comments like that and can’t tell the difference between acting and real life, those are red flags. Why are these never dealt with before it’s too late?
Lots of soap actors will tell you that they keep getting approached by members of the public, who adress them by their fictitious names. Too many people can’t seem to distinguish between fiction and reality.
Back in 2006, I was fortunate enough to meet soap opera actress Kim Zimmer (Reva and "Guiding Light") back stage after a performance of the musical "Gypsy." As I was talking with her, a woman asked her if she called her co-star Robert Newman (Josh) by his character's nickname, "Bud." Miss Zimmer seemed a bit annoyed by this, but graciously answered the question. I just couldn't believe that someone would ask her something like that, but it was clear to me that woman's perception between reality and fiction was askew. Later, when I showed a friend the picture that had been taken of the two of us, he asked me if Kim Zimmer actually had cancer, which was Reva's storyline at the time on "Guiding Light." I was dumbfounded again. I really don't think that sort of thing is all that uncommon after that experience.
Rebecca’s case probably saved many lives from these stalker types. i remember when this happened. Very sad her life was taken away. A situation that could have been dealt with before it got to that point. he very clearly needed help.
Good morning Dr Grande. I've never heard of these people , but your analysis says it all.Great analysis. The topic was interesting and sad. Thank you Dr Grande, have a great day.
I found this video fascinating for professional reasons, as I am going to receive my PhD in Criminology later this year. Stalking was a small part of my thesis.
@@erikparent8176 I don't feel for the private investigator. He should have done the first background check on the client, from the get go. BIG MISTAKE.
I think that some of Bardo's fixation on Rebecca Shaffer, likely came from the fact, that she was at a stage in her career, where she was just starting out, she wasn't a huge star, so she seemed accessible and approachable to him, sort of like the next door neighbor or something. She wasn't surrounded by body guards, assistants, and wasn't living behind a gated estate. She also had personally responded to his fan letter, which someone close to her, told her was a bad idea, because fans tend to over exaggerate the "relationship" that they have with the celebrity. Just a sad situation. She could have possibly gone onto be a big star.
There was a recent poll on YT asking whether you wanted to be poor and famous or rich and anonymous. I was like, who in their right mind would want to be poor and famous?!😖 Your fame exposes you to completely crazy people, but now you have no resources to deal with them?! I would much rather be left alone to live my life, have financial security and help people as I wish without scrutiny.
If you haven't, can you do one on the murder of Domique Dunne, and the subsequent joke of a trial there was ? Find it interesting, and sad when read of it.
I like doctor's last phrase in this video very much. 💜 I would like to add to this case that the behaviour nowadays called "stalking" hasn't always had such a negative image and closeness to criminal actions such as murdering someone. In the Medieval Age it was called high courtly love and well accepted. Once it was done properly it was rather an art. Of course this kind of remote admiration needs to root in a mental stability that a person diagnosed as bipolar or schizophrenic rarely fully obtains. Mental health problems have become so widespread in modern societies that doctors last sentence is without a doubt true.
@@martyal yeah, I'm almost done reading it for the first time. I made many notes and underlined, and highlighted alot of stuff. This book could litterally save your life.
Definitely a welcome super early video, especially as I'm convalescencing after a heart attack and these videos really do help, good call Dr Grande 👍. Edit : "Kinda like boarding the Titanic in 1912" 😂 I almost coughed up my stent 😂
I remember watching 'My Sister Sam' and I really enjoyed it. Rebeca Schaeffer was a delight in it. Also you spoke of part 3 of 'The Godfather'. I am one of those ppl. who loved the part, who wouldn't with Anthony Garcia in it. There are so many twisted ppl. out there waiting to harm/and kill. It's so tragic her young and talented life was taken this way.
Poor Rebecca! Nobody to protect her. She was so young! I like this topic and the idea of doing a series on celebrity stalkers! Like David Lettermans stalker for example. Thanks again for another riveting topic from Whoville!💜
I grew up watching My Sister Sam in the 90s. I liked it. I was too young to know what happened to Rebecca until I was older and learned that she was murdered by the mentally disturbed sicko my heart dropped. I felt so bad for her parents, her friends and colleagues. Thank you sir for your insight.
This case has alarmed me on how easy it is to find people that don't want to be found, how easy it is to just hunt, stalk, and scare someone is almost like all the opportunities in the world to hurt someone but very few ways to protect victim's.
Thanks Dr.. Grande💯Wow! I recall the news reporting on this as a kid. statements made by the people robert encountered, most importantly his brother, sister, and doctor seemed to be enough for prevention...that's crazy how high profile people addresses could be bought from the dmv back then. r.i.p. rebecca🙏🏾
Thank you about the information of Celebrity stalker. In this pop culture there is rarely mention about negative effects of that culture on the population.
Dr. Grande - a couple of well-known UK missing persons cases to consider: Claudia Lawrence (2009) and Suzy Lamplugh (1986). I'm also amazed you haven't done Lord Lucan yet!
No, they realized that this had been a bad idea pretty quick. The addresses were sold to individuals and marketing businesses providing a nice revenue stream for the state. Many states at the time did this as well.
Last time I was this early I caught Dr Todd rearranging the plants.

I remember when this happened, so heartbreaking ❤️🩹
This was a sad story. I remember it well. No one should lose their life so young and so needlessly.
Hello Dr. Grande 🏵
More bloopers, Doc?
That was so hilarious last time
Great analysis.Thank you Dr. Grande
Great take on this case doc. I've never heard of it. Thanks
Beautiful young lady. Very sad. RIP Rebecca.🌻
Ooo! Cool graph paper shirt.
Good analysis, thank you.
I found this video fascinating for professional reasons, as I am going to receive my PhD in Criminology later this year. Stalking was a small part of my thesis.
His brother should also have jail time for buying a firearm for someone else
I feel for the brother, sister and detective.
They all aided the perpetrator in some way but I'm sure they did not realise what was to come.
@@erikparent8176 I don't feel for the private investigator. He should have done the first background check on the client, from the get go. BIG MISTAKE.

It's important that he is forgiven and that he forgive himself.
Learn from "mistakes" and forget the memory of "past"
I think that some of Bardo's fixation on Rebecca Shaffer, likely came from the fact, that she was at a stage in her career, where she was just starting out, she wasn't a huge star, so she seemed accessible and approachable to him, sort of like the next door neighbor or something. She wasn't surrounded by body guards, assistants, and wasn't living behind a gated estate. She also had personally responded to his fan letter, which someone close to her, told her was a bad idea, because fans tend to over exaggerate the "relationship" that they have with the celebrity. Just a sad situation. She could have possibly gone onto be a big star.
Glad to see so many photos of the perpetrator/victim.
There was a recent poll on YT asking whether you wanted to be poor and famous or rich and anonymous. I was like, who in their right mind would want to be poor and famous?!😖 Your fame exposes you to completely crazy people, but now you have no resources to deal with them?! I would much rather be left alone to live my life, have financial security and help people as I wish without scrutiny.
If you haven't, can you do one on the murder of Domique Dunne, and the subsequent joke of a trial there was ?
Find it interesting, and sad when read of it.
The guy that killed her only served 4 yrs!!!😡
I agree! What an outrage that was.
@@christophervaldez8746 was a disgrace of justice for sure, and a tragic loss at 22 of a great talent, much more a loving daughter and sister 💔
@@kelseymariel2127 terrible and her parents now passed on, only her brothers Griffin & Alex Dunne survives her memory. RIP Dominique 😢 😪 💗
For those unsure of who she was it took last one she was most know as oldest daughter Dana, in original poltergeist movie, she died in 1984.
A sad case:/ Good presentation Dr. Grande! I like the Film.
I like doctor's last phrase in this video very much. 💜 I would like to add to this case that the behaviour nowadays called "stalking" hasn't always had such a negative image and closeness to criminal actions such as murdering someone. In the Medieval Age it was called high courtly love and well accepted. Once it was done properly it was rather an art. Of course this kind of remote admiration needs to root in a mental stability that a person diagnosed as bipolar or schizophrenic rarely fully obtains. Mental health problems have become so widespread in modern societies that doctors last sentence is without a doubt true.
I just got done reading about this nut in Gavin de Beckers book The Gift Of Fear.
I re-read that book every once in a while to remind myself.
@@martyal yeah, I'm almost done reading it for the first time. I made many notes and underlined, and highlighted alot of stuff. This book could litterally save your life.
Doc Grande also rocks the understated plaid
Definitely a welcome super early video, especially as I'm convalescencing after a heart attack and these videos really do help, good call Dr Grande 👍.
Edit : "Kinda like boarding the Titanic in 1912" 😂 I almost coughed up my stent 😂
❤👍
Good material 👍
The new patterned shirts are looking good!
I remember watching 'My Sister Sam' and I really enjoyed it. Rebeca Schaeffer was a delight in it. Also you spoke of part 3 of 'The Godfather'. I am one of those ppl. who loved the part, who wouldn't with Anthony Garcia in it.
There are so many twisted ppl. out there waiting to harm/and kill. It's so tragic her young and talented life was taken this way.
Omg. Comparing Godfather 3 to the Titanic is killing me 😆
This sad 😞 story was in the book The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals that Protect Us from Violence
Poor Rebecca! Nobody to protect her. She was so young! I like this topic and the idea of doing a series on celebrity stalkers! Like David Lettermans stalker for example. Thanks again for another riveting topic from Whoville!💜
I grew up watching My Sister Sam in the 90s. I liked it. I was too young to know what happened to Rebecca until I was older and learned that she was murdered by the mentally disturbed sicko my heart dropped. I felt so bad for her parents, her friends and colleagues. Thank you sir for your insight.
This case has alarmed me on how easy it is to find people that don't want to be found, how easy it is to just hunt, stalk, and scare someone is almost like all the opportunities in the world to hurt someone but very few ways to protect victim's.
Thanks Dr.. Grande💯Wow! I recall the news reporting on this as a kid. statements made by the people robert encountered, most importantly his brother, sister, and doctor seemed to be enough for prevention...that's crazy how high profile people addresses could be bought from the dmv back then. r.i.p. rebecca🙏🏾
Thank you about the information of Celebrity stalker. In this pop culture there is rarely mention about negative effects of that culture on the population.
I always love the dry humor!
Dr. Grande - a couple of well-known UK missing persons cases to consider: Claudia Lawrence (2009) and Suzy Lamplugh (1986). I'm also amazed you haven't done Lord Lucan yet!
It was so sad that Claudia's dad died recently never knowing what has happened to her
Sooooo ... is the DMV still handing out private addresses to random psychos who wander in off the street?
No, they realized that this had been a bad idea pretty quick. The addresses were sold to individuals and marketing businesses providing a nice revenue stream for the state. Many states at the time did this as well.
What is it with The Catcher in the Rye?
Edgy. Miscreants and budding psychopaths find it a call to arms.
Nice cactus Dr. Grande 🌵🤗
Excellent commentary as always!! 😂👏🏿
Started playing your videos for my husband. Now he’s a fan too. ✊
Was the detective who got Rebecca's address for this nut punished ?
He didn't break any laws. They wouldn't supply him with such info today b/c of cases such as Schaeffer's.
