Alleged stalker of David Caruso in custody

Categories: News

In a day unfortunately rife with fan-gone-wrong stories, the Associated Press reports this afternoon that an Austrian woman accused of stalking and threatening to kill CSI: Miami actor David Caruso is in custody in Vienna, after being arrested in Mexico several weeks ago on immigration charges and deported back to her homeland. If convicted, she could spend up to three years behind bars.

The alleged stalker, identified only as a female in her early 40s, reportedly sent more than 100 letters to the star of the CBS crime show, then sent death threats when he refused to give her an autograph. A court-appointed psychiatrist subesquently testified that the suspect has a "profound personality disorder." A trial date had not yet been set.

    I wonder if the Mexican cops, upon her capture, whipped off their sunglasses and remarked dryly about her arrest.

    Somehow I don’t find the fact that this woman stalked and threatened to kill not only Caruso, but his oldest daughter Greta, and his companion at the time Liza Marquez,something to joke about. She has also waged a campaign of terror aimed at Caruso on the Internet for the past two years – and a whole lot of people believed, and probably still believe, her lies and vicious rumors. Would you think it was as funny if you were the victim?

    She didn’t send letters to him asking for his autograph, she sent 100’s of DEATH THREATS to him when he refused her advances to him for sex.
    Smart man.
    This infuriated the woman she was so ‘deeply in love with him,’ and spent time and money to find him and didn’t get ’satisfaction’ and realized she never would.
    So it began…The ‘100’s of letters’ were all the same death threat, then the 2 year online hate campaign followed. She skipped out on two court dates during that time, and traveled to Mexico to HIDE LIKE A COWARD.
    May she get what she deserves to the full extent of Austrian law.
