Now about this 900 mile thing, the real point here is..."Would a rational person in this situation do what she did ???" I think not. This woman has had a breakdown, and a very serious one at that, and that has caused her to become irrational.
It's interesting.....I phoned my daughter last night, and discussed this particular case with her. For the record, my daughter is a forensic psychologist, and she sorts out people like this on a daily basis. According to my daughter, we have these little chemicals in our brain that sometimes go out of whack, it's called a chemical inbalance. I'm sure I won't have to give you a lecture about the causes of that or it's consequences....you know what I'm talking about. But the true crux of the matter is that it happens more markedly, and it's affects are more obvious, in those people who are under a great deal of stress and anxiety. Now this lady has been through a marriage breakup...yes ??? And I'm sure this lady has not achieved what she has in life by being plain old lazy, or being stupid. Her particular career would have it's fair share of stress.... the load on her must be very great. I believe that this woman has already shown the world what kind of responsible and intelligent person she is.
Her actions, are completely out of character with who she really is.
This is what happens when emotion overides logic.

Well I didn't read anywhere that her marriage was ending but if it was... it might have something to do with her fooling around with other men.... maybe??!!

Lots of people are under stress and anxiety... it does not excuse that type of behaviour. and JUST for the record... no one accused her of being stupid... many people that hatch these kinds of plans are very very smart. hey serial killers are often geniuses. now I am not comparing her to a serial killer but it does not take a stupid person to commit a crime or to have a pre meditated plan. But I am just not willing to say... well she was under a lot of stress so lets just allow her to stalk and assault women. Emotion can be a powerful thing.... but everyone else seems to be able to keep theirs in check without hurting people. Those who cannot control their emotions need to face the consequences. So they just chalk it up to emotions and "imbalance" so what happens the next time she has a dillusion and her emotions and stress take her over? Should we just say "ohhh poor baby... have a lollipop" I don't think so.
