Janice Dunlap is the stalker of Dale Marks, the actor posing at the author “Sweetie Ness”. Janice was a witness to Cody Larson, the man who the book was based on, seeing Marks before he was killed.
She refused to testify, even lying she killed Marks to protect Larson. She tearfully confessed to her perjury on the stand, and Larson was found guilty. (L&O: “Sweetie”)
