Original subtitles

[Aziza] I had a dream that I was in a cage

with a bunch of other women.

[glass breaking]

[Seti & Aziza speaking]

And they kept looking at me, and they were like,

"Aziza, like, help us."

And I was like, "How am I supposed to help you

from inside the cage?"

[Seti speaking]

It's never been easier, I think, to fool people.

It's never been easier to mislead.

I knew he was going far,

but I didn't know he would go that far.

[Seti speaking]

[Elizabeth] When it comes to love, betrayal is the death of

a thousand dreams...

[paparazzi] Armie, Elizabeth, over here!

[Elizabeth] ...and the unraveling of countless lies.

You can spend years picking up the pieces, examining them,

rearranging them, digging through the past to

make sense of it all.

[instrumental "Toxic" by Britney Spears plays]

Navigating through my personal heartbreak

took me back to my roots as an investigative journalist.

-Hi, I'm Elizabeth Chambers. -Elizabeth Chambers.

Elizabeth Chambers,

outside the Los Angeles Police Department.

[instrumental "Toxic" continues]

[Elizabeth] It ignited a curiosity inside of me about

love that fractures...

You can't escape it.

[Elizabeth] ...inflicts lasting trauma...

He broke me.

Did you think there was a chance he could kill you?

Oh, yeah.

[Elizabeth] ...and can lead to tragedy.

Unimaginable loss.

[Elizabeth] I feel that it's part of my calling to meet with

the victims, the survivors, to listen to their stories...

You're still living in fear.

Every single day.

...show how it can happen to anyone,

and expose the truth.

I'm Elizabeth Chambers, and this is "Toxic."

[instrumental "Toxic" concludes]

[Elizabeth] Social media is a double-edged sword.

It connects us to the world, but it also gives us

the perfect place to hide.

[Elizabeth] Because the truth is, you never really know who's on

the other side of the screen.

When a viewer sent me this video of Aziza Murphy's ex

breaking into her home, I was horrified.

What you're about to see is a woman who believed

she was in serious danger...

and who felt that she had no choice but to take matters

into her own hands.

[Aziza] You know, people always ask you about toxic situations that

you get into, and they say, "What was it about this person

that wasn't right?"

And I was like, "Everything was too right, too perfect."

What were your romantic relationships like growing up?

I didn't really have that many

romantic relationships growing up.

I actually ended up marrying my high school sweetheart.

[Elizabeth] And so you have children together?

[Aziza] Yes -- we have two beautiful boys.

Somewhere around 26 to 27, we decided that it just wasn't

a good fit for each other.

We are still amazing friends,

and he's a great dad to my children.

[Sandra] Aziza is my second born.

Always...

full of life, spunk.

Always marched to her own beat.

Did not care what others thought of her.

Aziza was going to do what Aziza wanted to do.

-Which can be hard as a mom. -Absolutely.

[Elizabeth] After you and your husband did divorce, you have any serious

relationships after that? -I did. I did.

I started dating somebody and things were starting to

kind of get more intense.

And then he was murdered in Baltimore.

We went on a date to the movies and then he dropped me off

and then he got robbed and then somebody murdered him.

So that really did kind of scar me.

That was kind of like, the start of --

of the cycle of trauma for me.

So I'm posting online.

I just been through this big trauma, and I'm posting memes

about like how people don't know how to let go nowadays.

Right, you know, and it was like a funny meme and this guy comes

out of nowhere, and I've never seen him before.

And he comments on my post, and he's like, "Yo, I agree.

People need to learn how to let go."

And we're just agreeing about everything.

We exchanged numbers, and I'll be honest with you,

it was great.

Like, we had the best conversations, and it kind of

felt like I had, like, a light

in this continuous darkness.

And at that time, he lived in New York.

I was in Baltimore.

So we ended up hanging out three weeks after

we started talking.

It was a great time.

After that, it started to be like an every week thing.

He would come down from New York, take the train,

and come see me, like, multiple times a week.

I really did enjoy his company.

[Elizabeth] You've gone through a divorce at this point.

Your boyfriend is murdered, and now you finally have

something that feels good.

I was very vulnerable, and he seemed to be

very loving, kind.

He was too kind, though.

-What do you mean by that? -If I was to mention something,

he would do it for me or get it for me.

He definitely told me that he loved me very early on,

and it was a lot of pressure to say it back,

but I did end up saying it back.

I started receiving messages from accounts on Instagram.

"Oh, is that your boyfriend? Oh, he looks so strong.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he's so good in bed."

For these random women to be like, "Oh, my God" --

fawning over him was, like, weird.

[Elizabeth] What are the other ways he love-bombed you?

[Aziza] He bought me a new bed.

I think it was a control thing, because it's like,

"I just got this bed, like, a couple months ago."

And he's like, "Well, you need a new one."

He would just keep buying me stuff.

I was living with my mom at the time

and my kids live with me.

He would buy my kids clothes, but they didn't really

understand who he was.

We never really argued.

We never really, like, disagreed, but I just felt like,

this feeling in my stomach of like, this is just...

this is a lot.

But then you start to gaslight yourself.

Maybe I'm just not used to somebody treating me this good.

[Sandra] I believe the first time I met Seti, he was at

my house, actually.

He was somewhat reserved.

I recall attempting to kind of find out where he was from,

and I was met with some resistance,

and I thought that was strange.

[Aziza] He told me he works production on set

with different networks,

that his mom was a therapist, and that his sister works

for the Pentagon.

Also, he told me that he had a brain tumor.

Like, he had to have brain surgery for it, right?

I don't know how true that is.

I realized after, you know, the four months of us

dating that I was like,

"I don't know this person at all."

[Sandra] I just knew that something wasn't right.

Couldn't put my finger on it,

but I just knew something was not right.

[Aziza] I remember one day, I got sick.

He came down from New York and was like,

"I'm gonna take care of you."

And I ended up going to the doctor's.

I'm like, "Stay at my house. I'll be right back."

I got home and he was agitated.

He started to mention certain things that he would only know

if he went through my iPad.

Like that's a boundary for me, right?

But he was like, "Oh, I want to go home."

I didn't know what was going on.

I was like, "I'm gonna take you to the train station now."

So in the car, he started asking me

specific questions.

And, like, the wording that he used was text messages

between me and my friend.

And it was just so specific that I was just like,

"Hmm, did you go through my iPad?"

He's like, "No, I didn't go through your iPad."

He denied it, denied it.

Finally, he admitted it.

And the moment that I found out, I told him that,

you know, I think that we need to take some space.

The crazy part about it is that

I probably would have stayed with him.

I just -- I needed him to know that that's like a red flag.

But I couldn't even have a conversation

with the way that he reacted.

So we get to the train station.

He refuses to get out of my car for two hours.

He was trying to convince me to stay with him.

He was saying that he had a brain tumor, saying that

I was not being supportive, and his birthday was coming up.

I was just, like, begging him, "Just please get out of my car."

He was, like, punching my dashboard

and...calling me names

and throwing stuff out of my car.

He was making a scene. I didn't know what to do.

I'm like, "Just please, please -- like, I'm sick.

I want to go home and go to sleep."

So, Seti finally got out of my car.

Went home, I stopped to get my medication first.

And when I got back...

Seti was outside of my house.

When I saw him standing on my property when I got back from

the train station, I thought, this man is unhinged.

I was like, "This man cannot be serious, right?"

He was walking around my house.

I, like, run inside,

and he's knocking on every window.

He's like, "I left my wallet here."

I was like, "You did not leave your wallet here."

That's when I started recording.

[glass breaking]

[Seti & Aziza speaking]

He ended up breaking my window,

reaching into the door,

and breaking into my house.

[Aziza & Seti speaking]

-That's not an accident. -Mm-mm.

[Seti & Aziza speaking]

I was afraid to call the police.

For a Black man, calling the police can put

his life in danger.

[Seti & Aziza speaking]

[Aziza] I had to chase after him.

And I was like, oh, you can't have my house keys.

My kids live here.

I didn't know if he was gonna make a copy.

So I chased him, and he threw the keys.

And I was just like, "Who is this person?"

[Seti & Aziza speaking]

[Aziza] He finally leaves my house.

This is when I started getting scared.

[Elizabeth] Immediately, Aziza starts getting DMs from random

accounts calling her a terrible person for breaking up with

her boyfriend who has a tumor.

The exact same accounts that were talking up Seti

when they first started dating.

[Aziza] I had to piece it together.

I was like, wait a minute. These are him.

And that's when I was like, oh, my God, like,

this person is crazy.

I was like, who does that?

[Seti] Z, I'm literally about to have chemotherapy and radiation.

Like, don't do this.

The threats started out as very vague.

Like, "You'll be sorry."

"It's a shame what's about to happen to you."

[Seti speaking]

Telling me, "Well, the last person that did this

to me is no longer here."

[Seti speaking]

I started getting calls from, like, different numbers.

They would be him. So I would block those numbers.

I would get another call and another call

and another call. I would block those numbers.

My mom would call me. It would be Seti.

My sister would call me. It would be Seti every time.

What I realized is that when he went through my iPads,

he got all of my passwords, all of my contact information.

[Elizabeth] Aziza received a thousand calls

within the first 24 hours, which seems nearly impossible.

But also, disguising the caller ID to make it look like

the calls were coming from family members takes this

harassment to the next level.

There is no digital footprint of him online, and I could

literally find two photos, which seems mysterious

and, worst case scenario, deceptive.

Maybe he's using sophisticated tech.

Maybe he has an accomplice.

But to better understand how he's operating, I got in touch

with my good friend, Harry Lidsky.

Harry's my go-to guy for this kind of thing

and has a lot of experience.

Aziza shared that she was receiving over a thousand calls

in a 24-hour time span.

And she also said that many times he would call

and caller ID would say Mom.

[Harry] There are spoofing apps --

they're out there with the caveat that it's a joke,

it's a way to prank your friends, and they can.

They can take any number in your call list and put

an outbound call or a text to make it appear as though

it's coming from that number.

That just goes to show when he went into her iPad,

he took screenshots of a lot of her Instagram messages

and contacts from important people in her life, so he was

able to specifically put their numbers in.

Correct.

I would love to find out what he's going by

and what he's doing.

He was in New York the whole time they were dating,

and she seems to think he's still in New York.

First and foremost,

what she believes to have been accurate

may not be accurate. Right?

-I mean, I think she -- -So we have to assume

he misled her on just about everything.

I think that's a very valid point.

[Harry] All right. Let's see what we can find out.

[phone ringing]

[Aziza] So I called the police.

They didn't take it seriously at first.

They even answered the phone

and was like, "Listen, hey, cut it out."

He was just like, "No, I'm not."

It was really weird, but then they went,

and they had to search up,

because Seti does have different aliases

and different names he goes by.

They had to, like, find him in the system.

And when they finally found him,

they were like, "You should take this very seriously.

"Like, he has multiple restraining orders against him

"in different states, and in the state of Georgia

for making terrorist threats against his ex."

-How did he first reach out? -[Lyn] Social media.

Simple conversation, asking me how I'm doing, saying hi,

that he wanted to get to know me better.

[phone chirps]

We exchanged contact information,

talking on the phone, texting, and he was just so

engaging and understanding.

-[phone chirps] -So I was interested.

That's when I decided to give Seti a chance.

How long did you guys talk before he came to visit?

Probably about... it was a couple of months.

He actually came to visit me in Georgia

and stayed with me for the weekend.

It was weird.

I had just moved into that apartment, so I really didn't

have everything that I needed.

I did have my box spring and my bed on the floor,

so he did buy me a frame for my bed.

And spent the weekend with me.

My brother was there.

[car engine starts]

I remember us being in the car, and I just hear him laughing.

And I look over, and he's...

[chuckles]

I'm like, OK.

I'm like, "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing.

I'm just thinking about something my homeboy said."

And he, like, that was just the end of it.

The energy and what he was giving off made me feel

some kind of way -- it made me uncomfortable.

I started to get that gut feeling like something was

completely off with this person.

[Elizabeth] After Seti returns to New York,

the relationship starts to cool.

And that's when he tells Lyn he has a brain tumor.

I was just like, wow, like, the day that he told me,

I was just gonna cut it completely off.

But he ended up telling me that,

so now I'm just -- how do you tell someone

you don't want to deal with them anymore and they just got

diagnosed with a brain tumor?

Within that same week, I did tell him, you know,

I can't handle this.

Soon as I said that...

to me, something just clicked in his mind,

and he just went full throttle.

[phone buzzing]

I remember waking up one morning,

and I had 999 missed phone calls.

And when I woke up, he was calling me again,

so it was 1,000 calls from him.

In my mind, it's done -- it is, you know, it's completely done.

I'm moving on. But to Seti, it's not.

It's not done.

[Aziza] I went from...

having like...

partner to having a complete like, demon in my life.

What did I put myself in?

And so I ended up telling my mom, like, "Listen,

"this is kind of dangerous.

"They're having some sort of mental breakdown.

This is really weird."

[Elizabeth] His harassment increases.

He starts calling and threatening

her mother, her co-workers, even her ex-husband.

Everybody was texting me, like, "Aziza, are you OK?

Like, somebody's texting me looking for you."

The threats escalated.

"I'm gonna rearrange your face."

"I'm throwing acid on you next time I see you."

"I'm gonna slit your throat in front of your children.

They're going to have to walk over your dead body."

We went from hotel to hotel, me and my kids.

I felt like I was fleeing.

But he started writing on my social media pages,

and he started writing on my job social media account.

[Elizabeth] Seti writes warnings on her Instagram and even creates

fake accounts pretending to be Aziza.

He sends pictures of guns

to her co-workers and also promises to commit

a mass shooting at her job site.

And so my manager had put me on leave to keep me safe.

They called me.

"He's outside walking around the building."

And then the day I come back, they fired me.

My job told me I was too much of a liability to be there.

And that's when I realized, like, I'm not gonna be able

to take my kids back to my mom's house.

[phone buzzing]

Later in the day, my sister called me,

and she's crying.

She told me that Seti called from my mom's

phone number and said that --

that he killed my mom.

[Aziza] He called my sister from my mother's number

and told my sister that my mother was dead,

that he had her phone. She's crying.

I start crying because I'm like,

"Well, how do you know she's dead?"

She's like, "Well, she's not answering the phone."

And so we called the police.

My sister rushed over to the house.

I rushed over there, too.

And I was, like, freaking out.

And then my mom called.

I was so relieved! I was so relieved.

I was like, thank God.

[Elizabeth] Turns out that Sandra was at work and hadn't received any of

their calls, but the terror had been inflicted.

Can you imagine somebody calling your child, saying that,

"Your mother's dead, I killed your mother."

And then she couldn't get to me or call me?

They think that I'm in the house dead.

And for an hour, your daughter thought you were dead.

-Mm-hmm. -[Elizabeth] That is evil.

It -- it is. It is.

I was terrified. Like, I mourned my mom.

It was really rough for me, you know?

[Elizabeth] In an eerily similar situation to Aziza, Lyn begins receiving

constant calls and messages from Seti at home, at work.

[Lyn & Seti speaking]

[Elizabeth] From numbers she doesn't recognize, from numbers

she does recognize.

And now he's even involving her family.

He told me, "Lyn, this is a dangerous game

you're playing. People get hurt over this."

Or, "People get killed over things like this."

It didn't matter what it was, every aspect of my life was

open for him to play with. And he felt he had a right to.

So when they met, he had a criminal past?

-Yes. -He already had a record.

[Harry] It's somebody who's certainly

had exposure with the criminal justice system.

Looking at this history and hearing some of these

tactics that he's employed, they could easily be directed

at a fraud as much as they could into stalking.

It's just a very fine line. The tools are the same.

The tactics are the same.

[Elizabeth] Started at 20 years old. That's really interesting.

-Yeah. -This is a career criminal.

[Harry] This Social Security number is issued in North Carolina,

so here's something. It's dated --

it's from 2011. Fayetteville PD.

Conspiracy to obtain property by false pretenses.

So it's fraud. Fancy way of saying fraud.

-Destiny Wilkerson. -[Elizabeth] Destiny?

Destiny. Black female.

So I'm guessing just by the date and the commonality of

the name, this was probably, you know,

his life before he transitioned.

[Aziza] I don't really talk about that that much

because I don't want to harm the community

as a whole.

And I think that when I would talk about him being

a trans man, people would always blame it on that.

And it's not that at all. He's literally just crazy.

When he changed his name to Seti, that was his dad's name.

So interesting.

[Lyn] It literally just kept escalating.

Trying to break into my house.

My complex moved me to a whole different building,

and he knew what building I was in,

because he was watching me.

He was following me.

[Seti speaking]

I changed my number twice.

He was able to get it. I don't know how.

Now it's at a different level, because I had someone

threatening my life to put me in a box.

I call the cops and make sure it's on record.

The officer that I spoke to was no help.

He called Seti in front of me,

and he told Seti to stay away from me and leave me alone.

I didn't know that's what police officers do.

Like, I did not know that.

I'm telling you, this man is threatening my life,

and you're -- you called him.

I was very confused, and I felt betrayed by the system

that's supposed to be helping me.

I didn't receive any kind of help.

I went to that police station maybe four or five times.

[Elizabeth] The police don't take it seriously, so Lyn goes to

court and files a restraining order.

But they're unable to serve Seti.

Time after time, they try,

but they can never find him.

So the police tell Lyn there's nothing they can do.

[Lyn] He never got served.

Until there's blood on my case, they can't do anything.

[Elizabeth] How did that make you feel?

[Lyn] Like I wasn't even a human.

Like, my life meant nothing.

It's like the perpetrator has more rights than

the actual victim.

It got to a point where I was sending emails to

the detective daily.

I was told to get a gun, which I did do.

I was told I have the right to

defend myself and I could shoot to kill.

And I was told to stop, to stop sending emails.

-[Elizabeth] By whom? -By the police officer that told me to get a gun.

-Hello. -[Elizabeth] Hi, Kris. How are you?

Dr. Kris Mohandie, a forensic psychologist with

over 30 years' experience on cases like O.J. Simpson

and Steven Spielberg's stalker, explained to me just

how dangerous this phenomenon can actually be.

I've conducted research study of stalking where we looked at

1,005 cases, and intimate stalking cases

are the most dangerous.

That's where we have the most murders.

That's where we have the most assaults.

There's an 83% violence rate

in our intimate stalking cases.

But why is it so under-supported in law enforcement?

I think that there's ignorance, a lot of ignorance.

And I also think that there's biases.

And they'd rather be doing other things,

and it's labor-intensive.

But if they really looked into it, this is one of the greatest

opportunities they have to prevent extreme violence from

occurring and to protect somebody proactively instead of

showing up afterwards, after the murder.

We look at stalking as a homicide in slow-motion.

[Aziza] He would target my family a lot.

Seti went back to my mom's house,

trying to break in again.

And my mom said she yelled on the camera.

I said to Seti, "Hello? You know I can see you."

And when he heard my voice, he took off.

[Elizabeth] Aziza filed police reports after both incidents in which

Seti attempted to break into her mother's house.

Warrants were issued in connection with each incident,

but remained outstanding because authorities

were unable to locate Seti.

He continued after me.

He started to write the guy that I was dating

that was murdered -- his family, saying that Aziza's the one

that killed your son.

He started posting my address online, you know,

and, like, my mom's address.

"You're getting your face blown off."

"I'm outside your mother's job with a ski mask."

It goes on and on.

I was in touch with the police off and on for months.

Even though the police told me that it was something

that was serious, there was no follow-up from them.

So once I realized that the police were not taking it

seriously, I posted on Twitter,

"If I die, I want everybody to know that

it was Seti." I was terrified.

And it went viral, and I started speaking out

about my situation.

A lot of his other victims reached out.

Some of them were, like, past romantic relationships,

and some of them, they would reach out to me

and say, "Hey, you know, I actually only went on

"one date with him, and I had to change my number

because he wouldn't stop, you know, harassing me."

So, while this was going on,

my stalker is still in my comments,

going back and forth with people,

threatening to kill me and my mom

and then my children.

He said, "Which child would you like to see die first?"

So the first time he made a threat against my kids,

I felt so sick to my stomach.

I knew he was going far,

but I didn't know he would go that far.

I thought, you know, something was going to happen

to my kids, and it was gonna be my fault.

So I called the police.

They would show up, and they would be like,

"Why are we here?"

They said, "We're not private security.

You need private security for stuff like this."

And I was like, "Yo, you're public security,

though, right? What are we paying for, though?"

He was like, "Oh, I'm busy. I got homicides.

I have all of these things going on."

I asked him, I said, "Well, if you could prevent any one of

"these homicides that you're dealing with,

would you have prevented it?"

And he was like, "I mean, yeah."

I was like, "Well, you have an opportunity

to prevent one right now."

I think that stalking is still not really something that

people take seriously.

You know, people kind of joke about it, like,

"What are you doing to these boys?"

It's -- I didn't do anything to make him want to kill me

and my children.

He kind of broke me. He broke me.

[Elizabeth] Your entire existence is in danger.

You're sleeping with a gun under your pillow.

Yeah.

Paranoid to the point where I'm just carrying it

on my person, because everybody is suspicious.

I feel like I have I had no control over my life.

[Aziza] It was my son's birthday.

He said, "The next gift to give your son for his birthday

is to not wake up."

This is basically when Aziza hit rock bottom.

I felt like it would be a lot easier on my family

if I wasn't here.

I felt like I had to die in order to

keep my family safe.

I mean, the only thing that I could do was to encourage her,

constantly telling her that it's not worth it.

You're a mother of two, and they need you.

Back then, I would sporadically still get

threatening messages and phone calls from Seti.

And then it abruptly stopped.

I went onto his Twitter, and I seen he moved on to

somebody else, and I'm like, oh, my God.

He posted her name, Aziza, found her Instagram,

and I'm just, like, she looks like me,

and she's beautiful, and she has kids.

She has two little boys.

After a couple of weeks, I ended up contacting her,

and she was already going through it.

So we would text all the time.

It was a relief for me because she understood.

I'm very curious as to what the motive is with stalking.

It's very much about power and control.

A stalker like this is enjoying the power that he gets over

inflicting fear and intimidation.

It becomes almost addictive.

Much of what these people do is about power,

control, and domination.

And so when they are inflicting this distress to obtain

their revenge, there is a sadistic enjoyment

that many of them get.

[Aziza] If I had to sacrifice myself, I would have done it.

But the fact that my kids were being targeted, I always say

that, like, including my family was his biggest mistake.

I'm not gonna, you know, allow him to win.

So I went from being really sad

and really confused and really depressed

to really getting fired up.

A few weeks later, I got all my followers to tag

every police department that fell through with my case,

which there were three of them.

People don't know that there's jurisdiction issues when it

comes down to police officers.

Like, you can go five minutes down the road if you're in

a different county or a different jurisdiction.

They don't extradite for what they consider

"nonviolent crimes."

[Elizabeth] Just like Lyn, Aziza's attempts to get

a restraining order fall through

due to jurisdictional issues and an inability

to locate Seti and serve him.

This is daunting, but Aziza's not giving up.

He had multiple victims in different states,

and so I actually called the FBI, right?

And I didn't think I would get a response.

They called me, like, the next day.

And I was like, wow, like,

because I'm -- I was so used to the police

not responding to me at all.

They took it seriously from day one.

They were like, "We're gonna come out to your house

and we're gonna monitor your accounts."

And after they came and gathered evidence,

it wasn't long before Seti reached out again.

[Aziza] I remember I was in my house.

It was around Christmas time.

My FBI agent called.

They had been watching my social media.

He said, "He's threatening to shoot you.

"We have to intervene and make sure that he doesn't

come kill you."

[Aziza] The FBI figured out where he was in New York.

They went to his house while he was there, busted in

his door, and then they went and got him.

I just remember breaking down and crying

and crying and crying.

He was only charged with the things he did to her,

nothing in reference to me, you know?

And that's fine.

It's the fact that he's away. It's done.

Seti is finally in custody for his crimes.

And one month later, he goes to trial.

How did it feel to see him in court?

It felt... weird.

I associated him with everything bad in the world.

I looked him in his eyes and I said, "I'm still here."

I'm -- I'm here.

Across multiple trials and jurisdictions, Seti is

found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison for

burglary and telephone misuse.

Aziza and Lyn can finally breathe

just a little bit easier.

When he was in jail, what kind of freedom and safety

did you feel? -I had relief.

I didn't have to look over my shoulder anymore.

I didn't have to carry my gun with me anymore.

I was finally able to sleep.

And then I come home one day,

and there's a piece of paper face down in front of the door.

I pick it up, and my name is on it.

Somebody wrote my name on a piece of paper.

I told my friend about it, and I asked her to run

the Ring camera back, and she said the person was tall with

a muscular build.

They had on a black hoodie that was covering their face.

They had seen the camera, so they put it down and,

you know, left the note and ran off.

I get a call from Aziza probably a couple days later

telling me that he was released from prison.

[Elizabeth] Two and a half years of Seti's sentence was suspended,

and he served just six months in jail before being released

on probation.

[Aziza] I was never notified.

I wasn't given any instructions about what I'm supposed to do

to be safe, or -- I didn't get any help at all.

They just failed you from the very beginning.

[Lyn] I was terrified all over again.

I felt like a little kid just lost.

When you have a stalker out there, you are never free.

Never free.

[Elizabeth] In the midst of filming this episode, Aziza had me listen to

a voicemail that she had just received from a woman who had

just ended a relationship with Seti.

[woman] He flipped.

Contacted friends, contacting family.

Oh, my God.

Girl, somebody just came up to my door and I thought that

was him -- it was somebody who dropped off a package.

I immediately reached out to this woman named Ashley

and a familiar story begins.

Seti, who now goes by Sebastian, started using

the same tactics.

Turn over my phone to actively see...

70 missed calls.

He involves friends and family.

My mother said that somebody was banging on the door

at 3 AM in the morning.

This is crazy.

But just like Aziza, Ashley was proactive

and started researching him online.

I was like, stalk the stalker.

And then immediately, Aziza's page came up.

In that moment, everything in my body just lifted.

Aziza putting her stuff out here literally saved my life.

It made me feel like, OK, I'm not alone, and it's not me.

Since his release, Seti has shaved his dreadlocks

and changed his name.

We know he's at least going by Sebastian, but based on

his past, that could be one of many aliases.

[Aziza] I had a dream that I was in a cage

with a bunch of other women,

and they kept looking at me, and they were like,

"Aziza, like, help us!"

I didn't know the significance of the dream before.

And now, finally, being on the other side of it...

-Aziza! -Hi!

Hi!

...I can reach back and support other people going through

the same thing I went through.

[Lyn] I'm still scared every day, you know?

It felt like it was my fault.

But we know it's not.

[Aziza] It's still scary for me, to be honest, to speak out,

but my drive is to help people.

Just knowing that I saved at least one person from

going through what we had to go through was important for me.

It still is important for me, so I'll keep speaking out.

Stalkers like Seti prey on silence.

They prey on you feeling alone.

You both are such a beacon of hope and strength,

and you've shed light for us

and for every single person watching today.

But Aziza, Lyn, Ashley, their courage shows

that we survive.

Together.

[woman] You could just see it like a train wreck.

You knew it was coming

and there was just nothing you could do to stop it.

Just a drip of blood, just started going right down

[woman] She went there to absolutely terrorize him.

And that's when I start to panic.
