00:30:11,667 Mm, it's a little scary. 526 00:30:11,734 --> 00:30:16,601 And it impacted vast areas, numerous communities, 527 00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:18,601 simply because of the fear instilled 528 00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:20,100 by the crimes committed. 529 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,801 In 1997, I was 21, 530 00:30:34,868 --> 00:30:38,634 and I was a college student at chico state. 531

00:31:03,601 --> 00:31:07,200 and I had actually just broken up with my very first boyfriend. 541 00:31:07,267 --> 00:31:09,434 And this is important because it means 542 00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,234 he's not gonna be coming over to her apartment. 543 00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,500 She is probably very vulnerable. 544 00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:20,133 When an offender stalks a victim, 545 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,701 burglarizing their home, 546 00:31:21,767 --> 00:31:23,601 going through their personal possessions, 547 00:31:23,667 --> 00:31:25,434 being able to look at their photographs, 548 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,901 it increases his comfort level because he knows the floor plan. 549 00:31:28,968 --> 00:31:32,434 He knows how to get in and how to get out. 550 00:31:35,634 --> 00:31:38,367 I'd come home, and things would be out of place. 551 00:31:38,434 --> 00:31:40,934 I'd notice that my photo albums would be moved 552 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,601 or certain things weren't exactly where I had put them. 553 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,767 And I thought it was my ex-boyfriend 554 00:31:51,834 --> 00:31:53,500 going into my house. 555 00:31:57,133 --> 00:31:58,601 The night of the attack, 556 00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:02,434 me and my sister had gone to the bear in chico. 557 00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:07,000 It was a really popular place to go dancing. 558 00:32:07,067 --> 00:32:09,901 I actually got home late, 559 00:32:09,968 --> 00:32:13,367 and then I went into the kitchen to make myself some toast, 560 00:32:13,434 --> 00:32:17,200 and I looked at my sliding glass door 561 00:32:17,267 --> 00:32:21,200 and felt like somebody was there, 562 00:32:21,267 --> 00:32:23,701 but then just kind of dismissed it quickly, thinking, 563 00:32:23,767 -->
