It even gets to the point where he's trying to run her off the road with his car and physically attacks her date. In addition to sending her gifts, making harassing phone calls to her and her parents, and writing disturbing letters to her and her parents (such as for her father stating, "I almost got your daughter last night.").
No matter what Laurisa does, from going home from school to extra-curricular activities as she's in the marching band to out on a date, Curtis is there watching. The umpire, Curtis, has taken an inappropriate liking to her and as she grows Curtis' psychological problems and infatuation with her grow.
Laurisa is a beautiful and happy 14 year old girl on a softball team.
#Imdb tv moment of truth movie#
This movie is suspenseful and based off the true story of Laurisa Anello and her family. It would be interesting to see a new film made, about more recent cases, and what laws protect the victims of this crime. The film concludes with legislation that was enacted in 1992, to protect victims from stalkers, before it is too late. (If you remember the case of Rebecca Schaefer "My Sister Sam" and how she was murdered by Robert John Bardo you will see a similar case study). legally, the police could not do anything, until there was some sort of concrete threat. Tom Kurlander does an excellent job as the stalker passive-aggressive he follows the family, trails Laurisa and her friends, and makes her life a veritable nightmare. LuAnn Ponce is the daughter, Laurisa, who is stalked by an unbalanced, and dangerous man. Shanna Reed portrays the mother, frustrated by a system that does not protect her daughter.
Laurisa was in fact stalked by an older man who worked as an umpire with the girl's softball team, in St. Since this film was based on a true story it deserves mention.
