@@fauzianalwoga My condolences to you.Our childhood friend Passed away as did her baby she was pregnant with.She was 7 months.That was her only child.Her mom was never the same.aWhen l found out she passed away l was happy for her because she wanted to be with her.Now the 3 of them are together forever ♥️
Another story about an obsession between fan and celebrity is the death is the Latin superstar Selena! So tragic her story. She was an inspiration to many. Extremely talented one of a kind performer. Truly missed.
She was working her way up to be an A-list household name, but her life ended tragedy after an obsessive fan killed her over a scene that he didn't like. After her murder, Schaeffer's legacy lives on.... Its one story that woke up a law on stalking.
*Christina Grimmie’s passing was totally preventable* Just prior to the crime, the venue had a change management & the few employees they had weren’t properly trained. There was really no security; no metal detection nor pat downs. The only “security” being inspections of larger bags. Christina’s brother was the one that wrestled the suspect to the ground. Her story & legacy will live on forever. RIP 🤍
I remember when this happened. Taylor Swift had one of her stalkers show up in Germany. Crazy. Now he's threatening her boyfriend. These crazy people need to be locked up. They do not stop until something bad happens. Another young lady was just found in her car. It must be very scary to never feel safe.
R.I.P. Rebecca 😢❤. I still hate when young stars like her, Selena, Christina Grimmie, and of course John Lennon (from The Beatles) get their own lives taken always by their obessed, evil fans. R.I.P. Rebecca, Selena, Christina, and John
She was really talented, and would have been so huge. I loved My Sister Sam. Was only 14 when she was killed and was very affected by this, RIP to this sweet soul. ❤
I was 8 years old at this time, watching Entertainment Tonight with my mom hearing about this and still breaks my heart. She could been a bigger star than what she was had she lived longer and not met this monster to took her out. RIP Rebecca, you're not forgotten.
Well, here we are. 35 years after this World-changing event happened. May Rebecca continue to rest in peace & may all who are currently dealing with stalkers continue being thankful for all the anti-stalking laws and other public safeguards that are in place, directly as a result of what happened on the morning of 7/18/1989.
There is an actress that was stalked and stabbed almost to death by her stalker Theresa Saldana is her name. They even made a movie about her attack. Her story gave Rebecca’s killer the ideas on how to find her.
A couple of days ago, as I was driving Home, Rebecca Shaffer came to my mind...strangely and out of the blue. I was born in September of 1988 and was therefore, only months old when this young woman was senselessly slain. Yet, I have seen crime documentaries on her and her demise over the years. Rebecca's story and her tragic end have become embedded within my heart and mind. I hope those that Loved and knew her personally are experiencing continuous strength in these years since her passing. 🖤💐🖤
I remember my Mother telling me this case years ago, while watching a re-run of Mork & Mindy. I told my Mom she's is the actress(Pam Dawber) the movie Stay Tuned. Afterwards my Mother told me that she have seen her in two TV shows Mork & Mindy and My Sister Sam. I've never heard of that show before and mind you I am an 80's baby. She told me how great the show was and of Rebecca Schaeffer. Also of her terrible and sad murder from a crazy stalker. That's horrible to die like that outside your home by an obsess lunatic. vRebecca Schaeffer was so young & beautiful. She could of gone further in her career or even live a regular life. My heart and prayers goes out to her loved ones.
Rest in Peace sweet Rebecca. She was my absolute favorite. I looked up to her so so much. You were such a special light in this world. Thank you for bringing us such joy while you were here ❤
What if Rebecca had already agreed to give up her life so laws would be passed to help others ? What if her soul knew it was going to happen ? She wouldn't be a victim. She would be a very strong hero for everyone who has had an encounter with someone who wanted them, and they didn't like them in return. It's a scary place to be in when you feel helpless. Knowing there are now laws against this is a huge relief in many ways. Thank you for your sacrifice, Rebecca. You really stood up for something important and worthwhile. 🎉❤
I remember this. It should have been a law before Rebecca was gone that no one can get your address from the DMV. That never should have happened! Giving out personal info like that, no one thought, gee, maybe we shouldn't give out addresses, what could go wrong? So sad. He should have been put under the prison 35 years ago, he has just been living his pathetic life and doesn't care one bit about what he did that day.
It was an UNlisted address to boot! which meant they NEVER should have given it out..the private investigator gave it to him...they should have been charged with neglect/incompetency.
When I was young, I worked for a Private Investigator. I could walk into DMV, pull out the books, and look anybody up. Name, address, license plate, car, driver's license. But then things changed. But still, today, anybody can find anybody, anywhere..
Her parents reaction was so heartbreaking. You could see the pain all over their face. What an awful thing to live with. People are so selfish and don’t care until it happens to them. Really hurts to see any parent go through this.
So they should be charged with murder before they do it? What action or words would be the reason? It all "sounds" great but you say something out of anger at someone and you're in prison for life? I also wish we could treat our terminal cancer patients better than we do but then who would be in charge of that decision and not abuse it?
@@ridingtheroad185 - Anyone who ignores warning after warning after warning to stop stalking someone should at some point lose their rights. Going to jail for life is only a suggestion for those who can’t, or won’t, stop stalking others. It shouldn’t be for a one time offense, but for repeated offenses. The stalker is to blame for going to jail for life because of their actions and inability, or refusal, to stop stalking. Stalkers should also be put on a national stalking registry to put them in the spotlight for law enforcement to keep an eye on. And so neighborhoods know who is near them.
@@davidwallgren7575 - It doesn’t work that way now. But laws can be changed. And the laws should change for persistent stalkers. Especially the ones who are clearly violent.
I remember Loving the sitcom, My Sister Sam, and I remember this horrific stalking killer and killed one of my favorite actress's. This is so sad and wrong ! Heartbreaking 💔 😭
@staceyfabiszewski4633 Rebecca would die a whole year after the cancellation of My Sister Sam. Also the series is still not on DVD except for the pilot which was on the Murphy Brown season 1 DVD special WB archive entertainment release.😢♥🙏🌹
She would've gone to incredible heights with her career. Also for sure she would've easily won the role of portraying the daughter of Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III.
I was six years old at the time of her death and in those times I didn't watch the news. Nor did anyone tell me & my siblings any of those serious things in those times. My Mother end up telling me about her case in the mid late 90's. It broke my heart to hear of her tragic death.
Yeah, a lot of things were taken for granted back then. Truth is, you can NEVER be too-careful. In hindsight, we all wish that she would have continued to live with Pam Dawber and Mark Harmon until she was either married or was able to move to a more secure and/or gated community.
I remember this story as if it was yesterday and it’s heartbreaking. It happened in 1989 the year I had my son…35 years ago that this beautiful souls life was extinguished. Imagine what she would have accomplished. He clearly didn’t look right mentally, but that doesn’t justify stalking and murdering someone. RIP lovely girl!!
I adored Rebecca as a young girl! I was so excited to see what she was going to do as an actress in her future. I was so sad when I heard of her tragedy. You are loved and not forgotten Rebecca❤
She seemed like such a beautiful person and the stalking laws in California haven’t changed enough the stalkers only get a few months in prison and then get out and do it all over again
To steal someone's life like that! At least the neighbor who looked at the photo in the manilla envelope could've called the police herself in instead of answering with some dumb noise!!! If a guy looks weird he probably is weird. "911; hey some weird guy just showed me a photo of one of my neighbors, can you come down and check him out? He gave me a funny feeling." That probably would've helped.
Exactly, that would’ve immediately raised my alarm bells! It’s so obviously unusual and creepy when anyone asks me to identify someone from a photo randomly like that, unless it’s official police business.
She was expecting a messenger to bring the script for a film she was going to audition for. Such a pity he showed up on the day she was waiting for and expecting someone else
Look how life has changed today. Today, when someone knocks on your door, you go running to your kitchen, Grab a defense weapon and don't even bother answering
I remember when Rebecca was killed. She was only a couple of years older than me then. It was quite shocking because you didn't hear about things like that in the news all the time like you do now. I had no idea about the true story behind Moonlight Mile. I just remember that it's a really beautiful film about grief. RIP Rebecca
It’s very sad and shocking that Rebecca Schaeffer one of the most beautiful actress was murdered by this terrible man. Gone way too soon. If she wasn’t killed by that crazy obsessed fan, she would have done a better job as Michael Corleone’s daughter Mary Corleone in The Godfather part 3 instead of Sofia Coppola even though she’s much better as a director, writer, and producer like her father.
I am sure that that would have been Rebecca’s breakout-role. Seems that her parents were very-trusting and non-cynical people, so she was never given “the gift of fear.” Pam Dawber had warned her to not put her real name on her mailbox or intercom. Seems she didn’t heed that wisdom and just brushed it off. Reason-being, she was’t raised to be cautious enough. Therefore, those around her in CA should have been more forceful with her. when it came to ensuring her personal safety.🤷🏼
I remember when they were broadcasting the upcoming shows that year. I remember seeing this show on that list. I didn't watch it a lot because I had my own set of shows I loved, but I do remember this and caught it when I could. No Idea this young lady was killed. I had a ton of female actresses I was in love with, but never to this level of obsession. 21 years old. This was tragic and sad to hear. Reminds me of the story of the young lady from poltergeist. Another tragedy based around obsession.
Don’t understand why she’d open the door the second time. It’s scary enough that she opened the door to a stranger that just shows up at her door the first time. The fact that he returned would’ve immediately set off alarm bells for me. I never, ever answer the door for anyone knocking on my door unless it’s someone I’m expecting. But people just freely open their doors to strangers, which I noticed all my neighbors do. This world is too scary and crazy to not be extra, extra cautious.
I remember listening to Christina’s covers on TH-cam. Women are still being stalked relentlessly. The system has failed so many. All these women should still be here😢
And some 35 years later, EVERYTHING is public to anyone. No one needs a PI to find anyone. You can literally find anyone from the comfort of your own bed.
It's not a pap problem it's men who get obsessed with women, a woman was found dead in her car and she wasn't even famous, but she had a stalker he ended up unaliving her.. it happens to women everywhere
A lot of women have to deal with unwanted attention, including stalking. Anytime I have worked in retail I've dealt with men who think they have a relationship with me or make lewd comments. Won't work with the public again.
I’ve worked in food & beverage industry for most of my life. The amount of harassment that women get, especially in their 20’s and 30’s, is incredible. I stopped working in restaurants because it felt like I was stuck in a building with any human who could walk in the door and make my life hell for as long as they wanted and I couldn’t do anything about it. Add alcohol to the mix and it can get dangerous too.
Not trying to make it about looks but, that guy is so scary looking and his head is massive. That poor woman’s last seconds on earth were seeing this creep take her life for literally no reason??!?
Rebecca Schaeffer and I were born the same year, only two months apart, and her murder has always haunted me, as does seeing footage of her from the the 1980s, while the years pass for me and the rest of the world, and I grow older, about to be 57 in a month, while she remains frozen in that time, forever fresh faced, forever young ,forever on the cusp of promising future that would never come. .
I remember the morning this tragedy happened. She was adorable and talented. So sad. Glad something good came from this. She was taken too young and robbed from what would have been a great life.😢
Yes, her tragic death sparked a LOT of positive-change. People like Taylor Swift have Rebecca to thank for all the anti-stalking laws and other public safety measures that currently-exist.👊
In a way paparazzi are stalkers too. Famous people are just PEOPLE. No one should have their pic taken without consent. Bardo low-key got info that wouldn't necessarily happen today, but there are ways to still find someone.
The fact that people KNEW this guy was coming around frequently to see her is all the proof we need to know that the people hired to protect her, FAILED her. Rest in Peace Rebecca. You didnt deserve any of this.
Studied this incident and many others for during training in security. Sadly so few in the security industry have actually studied security and the this kind of subject matter.
I was born in the ‘80s. Things seemed simpler and more innocent back then, but there were still messed-up people in the world. There’s always a little darkness lurking beneath the surface and this is one of the worst Hollywood matters ever to occur.
I do not know what has changed. I am an attorney. Fortunately, my story was not one of stalking, but it was still disturbing. I get personally served with documents at work on behalf of clients on a regular basis. However, one time, I noticed someone outside my house. A couple of days later, I got a call that someone was trying to serve me legal documents but could not find me at work, so they went to my house. The problem is that I do not give out my home address, so someone just got it. God knows how.
He used a private Investigator, They dont ask questions or do background checks. Murder in the first degree. Investigator must be charged for being a part of a murder. That’s a civil suit for wrongful.
This is one of the scariest stories about a young celebrity.
RIP Rebecca Schaeffer. 😢

That was so heart breaking💔for that family to go through. Does anyone know if Rebecca's parents are still alive?

I remember this Vividly. It was a terrible shame that someone had to get killed to have a law passed (not the 1st or last time either)😢
It is a shame. WHY does a person’s life have to be taken in order for us to wake up?
Another story about an obsession between fan and celebrity is the death is the Latin superstar Selena! So tragic her story. She was an inspiration to many. Extremely talented one of a kind performer. Truly missed.
No law will prevent stuff like this
I remember this like it was yesterday. We were the same age. At the time I wanted to be an actress. This affected me a lot. RIP Rebecca.
I was just a bit younger than her and it happened on my birthday, so I remember it really well too.

World changing? That’s a bit much.
I meant for high-profile people, especially.
For someone that visibly insane to come looking for her at her work and them not warn her about him is terrible
There is an actress that was stalked and stabbed almost to death by her stalker Theresa Saldana is her name. They even made a movie about her attack. Her story gave Rebecca’s killer the ideas on how to find her.
Yes it did they should have had laws from that 1982 incident
The demon got ideas to hire a private investigator from Theresa Saldanas case smh
I have always believed that Theresa Saldana’s death at 61, were from complications of that near-fatal knife attack she suffered years earlier. 😢

How many Private Investigators are actually being hired by stalkers?
Nowadays, I am sure that PIs are more-aware of that being a possibility.🤔
It’s very sad and shocking that Rebecca Schaeffer one of the most beautiful actress was murdered by this terrible man. Gone way too soon. If she wasn’t killed by that crazy obsessed fan, she would have done a better job as Michael Corleone’s daughter Mary Corleone in The Godfather part 3 instead of Sofia Coppola even though she’s much better as a director, writer, and producer like her father.
I am sure that that would have been Rebecca’s breakout-role. Seems that her parents were very-trusting and non-cynical people, so she was never given “the gift of fear.” Pam Dawber had warned her to not put her real name on her mailbox or intercom. Seems she didn’t heed that wisdom and just brushed it off. Reason-being, she was’t raised to be cautious enough. Therefore, those around her in CA should have been more forceful with her. when it came to ensuring her personal safety.🤷🏼
I remember when they were broadcasting the upcoming shows that year. I remember seeing this show on that list. I didn't watch it a lot because I had my own set of shows I loved, but I do remember this and caught it when I could. No Idea this young lady was killed. I had a ton of female actresses I was in love with, but never to this level of obsession. 21 years old. This was tragic and sad to hear. Reminds me of the story of the young lady from poltergeist. Another tragedy based around obsession.
Its heartbreaking 😢
He tried to act mentally deficient yet was able to plan this out.
Don’t understand why she’d open the door the second time. It’s scary enough that she opened the door to a stranger that just shows up at her door the first time. The fact that he returned would’ve immediately set off alarm bells for me. I never, ever answer the door for anyone knocking on my door unless it’s someone I’m expecting. But people just freely open their doors to strangers, which I noticed all my neighbors do. This world is too scary and crazy to not be extra, extra cautious.
I remember listening to Christina’s covers on TH-cam. Women are still being stalked relentlessly. The system has failed so many. All these women should still be here😢
The only thing women should trust is their ability use a firearm. Everything else is a false sense of security.
And some 35 years later, EVERYTHING is public to anyone. No one needs a PI to find anyone. You can literally find anyone from the comfort of your own bed.
@annieelise. You should cover this one. It changed so much. And so little. She was so special, she could have been Julia Roberts.
She would have surpassd JR.
I remember this story
I was 17 when Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered and it upset me because I was a fan of My Sister Sam. R.I.P. Rebecca Schaeffer.
The murderer was the oldest looking teenager ever
So why paparazzi are allowed ??
It's not a pap problem it's men who get obsessed with women, a woman was found dead in her car and she wasn't even famous, but she had a stalker he ended up unaliving her.. it happens to women everywhere
@@spookydeadite i know but i was refering to the « that inspired anti stalking laws » in Hollywood, paparazzi are stalkers
A lot of women have to deal with unwanted attention, including stalking. Anytime I have worked in retail I've dealt with men who think they have a relationship with me or make lewd comments. Won't work with the public again.
I’ve worked in food & beverage industry for most of my life. The amount of harassment that women get, especially in their 20’s and 30’s, is incredible. I stopped working in restaurants because it felt like I was stuck in a building with any human who could walk in the door and make my life hell for as long as they wanted and I couldn’t do anything about it. Add alcohol to the mix and it can get dangerous too.
@@karlee3095what career do you have now with out working with the public?
Not trying to make it about looks but, that guy is so scary looking and his head is massive. That poor woman’s last seconds on earth were seeing this creep take her life for literally no reason??!?
Rebecca Schaeffer and I were born the same year, only two months apart, and her murder has always haunted me, as does seeing footage of her from the the 1980s, while the years pass for me and the rest of the world, and I grow older, about to be 57 in a month, while she remains frozen in that time, forever fresh faced, forever young ,forever on the cusp of promising future that would never come. .
I remember the morning this tragedy happened. She was adorable and talented. So sad. Glad something good came from this. She was taken too young and robbed from what would have been a great life.😢
Yes, her tragic death sparked a LOT of positive-change. People like Taylor Swift have Rebecca to thank for all the anti-stalking laws and other public safety measures that currently-exist.👊
I was literally thinking about her yesterday
In a way paparazzi are stalkers too. Famous people are just PEOPLE. No one should have their pic taken without consent. Bardo low-key got info that wouldn't necessarily happen today, but there are ways to still find someone.
That comes with being famous it's never safe
Truth.
35 years ago ❤
Time sure does fly!
The fact that people KNEW this guy was coming around frequently to see her is all the proof we need to know that the people hired to protect her, FAILED her. Rest in Peace Rebecca. You didnt deserve any of this.
You could look at the shape of his head and see that there was something wrong with him.
Okay
If she had only lived, she could have had a great career, grown old and past her prime, and joined the
Me Too Movement.
😆
Studied this incident and many others for during training in security. Sadly so few in the security industry have actually studied security and the this kind of subject matter.
Very devastating
This still upsets me after all these years
RIP to her & i feel so bad for parents especially since she was their only kid
I remember this. Sadly with the internet & camera phones this will happen again.
I was born in the ‘80s. Things seemed simpler and more innocent back then, but there were still messed-up people in the world. There’s always a little darkness lurking beneath the surface and this is one of the worst Hollywood matters ever to occur.
I do not know what has changed. I am an attorney. Fortunately, my story was not one of stalking, but it was still disturbing.
I get personally served with documents at work on behalf of clients on a regular basis.
However, one time, I noticed someone outside my house. A couple of days later, I got a call that someone was trying to serve me legal documents but could not find me at work, so they went to my house. The problem is that I do not give out my home address, so someone just got it. God knows how.
She was such a beautiful redheaded stepchild
I can't believe it's been 35 years.
Jabba the hut with a badly receding hairline
On side note Mark Harmon & Pam Dawber have been married for 37 years 1987! 2 sons & 3 granddaughters.
Nowadays on the World Wide Web 🌐 you can find anybody or anything.
He used a private Investigator, They dont ask questions or do background checks. Murder in the first degree. Investigator must be charged for being a part of a murder. That’s a civil suit for wrongful.
Was the killer’s brother ever charged with ANYTHING?🤔
@@JosephSchwarzkopf-m9k No, he wasn't.
Something was wrong with him though like what is wrong with his head?
2 demons that lived there deformed his head
Absolutely short circuiting goung on
@@wileecoyote5749exactly what my mom would have said😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry, but how has a 19 y/o got that hairline
@NAH7D He must’ve had a rough life which aged him prematurely.
Heartbreaking and makes you wonder what her life would be like now had this never happened or had she survived. 😢💔
Why wouldn't they tell her so she would know if she saw him
Failure of people around her, sadly. They had just ONE job.🤦♂️
Was OJ before or after this?
After…1994
So much violence in the world. Rebecca was a beautiful & talented young lady. I used to watch her in My Sister Sam. Great show.
Man, she would have made a mega superstar if she had lived. RIP R.S.
Rip i heard about her story . So sad .
Her killer was such a pathetic loser
Would be 56 at time this upload.
😢. sad
