Krueger was the fictional killer from the series of horror films “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” Some of the letters were postmarked from Youngstown, Ohio which was where Elm Street was in the films.

“I am the man who has been stalking for (the) last 7 years. Now I have set my eye on you too,” according to the indictment one letter claimed. And another said, “You look so beautiful in your pictures on google. Are you ready to be the mother of my child.”

Thirty-six letters were sent. They were filled with threats to LaRue with promises to rape and kill her. And by 2015, the threats were also directed to her then 13-year-old daughter.

At some point, the deranged stalker also began calling LaRue’s daughter’s school. And he told the school he was the child’s father and was waiting outside to pick her up.

LaRue’s daughter Kaya Callahan, now 20, also became emotional when she was describing to the court how Roger’s threats traumatized her.

After the contact with her school everyone was trying to keep her safe and she was escorted every day from the school to the parking lot.

Moving to Italy

Terrified, the TV star sold her house and took her family out of the country. They lived in Italy with a friend for months.
