“Peggy’s Story” Draws Large, Engaged Audience
On Tuesday, nationally recognized victim advocate Debbie Riddle spoke to an audience of more than 150 students, faculty, staff and community members, shedding light on the topic of stalking as part of Human Dignity Week. According to Riddle, stalking is a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Riddle explained that stalkers use non-criminal behavior to induce fear, adding that tracking these behaviors to provide context is everything. She concluded with the story of her sister Peggy who endured years of emotional abuse, harassment, surveillance, threats and terrifying behaviors before she was murdered by her stalker.
