Here are a couple of responses I have received thus far. I am still looking for some updates in the case of stalker Bruce Raines.
from anonymous 2/10/14
"He is still living in St. Pete. It seems that he has a few new girls that he is stalking. I don't know what to do about it."
From Sondra, 2014
"He still lives in the same house. Him and his mother are very weird."

I am in the process of trying to find out what ever happened to Bruce A. Raines. As far as I know he is still living in the Saint Petersburg, Florida area. I will also try to find a picture of him now and a picture of him in the late eighties. Stay tuned.

Other Stalking Cases Involving Young Girls and Young Women
Here are a few more stalking cases. These cases are not affiliated with the movie or the story above on which the movie is based.
Stephanie Bennett, 23, was found dead on her bedroom floor in Bridgeport Apartments. She had been strangled sometime after midnight. There was no sign of forced entry. The bedroom screen had been removed from her window. It appeared as though someone had waited in the closet before the murder. A few weeks before her murder, she emailed a friend that she was afraid because of a peeping tom that had been looking into her window. Police continued to interview witnesses that had seen the peeping tom. They described him as a tall thin man who had a large dog. He often walked from another set of apartments nearby. When investigators went to that complex the manager informed them that the name of the man was Drew Planten, and that he had moved out of the building. The police kept him under surveillance. They devised a plan to obtain dna from Planten, but he knew they were watching. They were able to get dna from his place of work. The dna was a match. Police believe that he entered her apt through the bedroom window, and waited for her in the closet. When she arrived home, she called her boyfriend, and Planten watched her as she undressed. After she went to bed, he came out of the closet and attacked her. She was assaulted and strangled until she died. Police also believed that Planten had killed other women. He committed suicide before he could be convicted.
