Andrea Blake is a victim of stalking who was later murdered by the stalker, Russell Lowery.
History[]
Blake worked as a nurse and bought from Homebody over the phone. Lowery worked at Homebody as a telemarketer and answered Blake's call, ending up fixated with her. He harassed her regularly with emails and phone calls, even tracking her information even when she changed addresses, through his job and even blackmailing his employer. Lowery even stalked Blake while in prison for assaulting a woman.
Blake came to the detectives when she arranged a fall to look like a fight with Lowery, pleading her case and needing assistance, with nowhere else to go and constantly being rejected in police reports either from scarce evidence or a disbelief by the cops of real danger to her. Her case was evaluated, and she was turned away once again and offered minimal services and advice, along with the wrong man being suspected. It would prove to be the worst mistake when Lowery tracked her down and stabbed her in her home, murdering and leaving her at the scene. Her mother was devastated and never forgave the detectives. Lowery was eventually tracked, arrested, and convicted on all charges. (L&O: "Stalker")
