Obsessed, Unstoppable, and Unchecked: Mary Lynn Witherspoon

Mary Lynn Witherspoon was a beloved teacher in Charleston, South Carolina—graceful, kind, and dedicated to her students. But behind her poised exterior was a growing fear she couldn’t escape. For over 20 years, she was the target of an obsessive stalker who violated her privacy in chilling ways, leaving her feeling unsafe in the very place she should have been most secure—her own home. When, finally, measures to keep her safe were in place, the system meant to protect her failed at every turn. Then, on a quiet November morning, her worst nightmare became a reality in a way no one could have imagined. Why wasn’t Mary Lynn given the protection she so desperately needed? Join me as we unravel the devastating case of Mary Lynn Witherspoon and the haunting failures that led to her tragic fate. ★ For more information on Stalking please visit SPARC in the US, or PAS in the UK. 1800RESPECT in Australia, and CASA in Canada★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.
