Ep 170: Stalkers Register With Isla Traquair

Laura interviews presenter, crime journalist and podcaster Isla Traquair about her horrific experience of stalking. Laura advised Isla throughout the situation and the stalker was convicted in 2022. But that’s not the end of the story - it never is with stalkers.

Listen to Laura and Isla discuss the urgent need for stalkers to be included on the Violent and Sexual Offender’s Register and managed by the statutory Multi-Agency Public Protection Panels.

This has been an ongoing campaign for Laura since 2001and it is currently being debated in the Victims and Prisoners Bill in Parliament. Content warning: Laura shares numerous cases where the stalker escalated to murder including 23-year-old Gracie Spinks and pregnant Rachael Slack and her 23-month-old toddler Auden. In both cases the killers had histories of abuse.
