The Stalking of Laurie Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stalking of Laurie Show is a 2000 movie made for television and based on the real-life account of the brutal murder of a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, native.
The film shows how 16-year-old Laurie Show became entangled in the life of Lisa Michelle Lambert and her boyfriend, Lawrence Yunkin. Lambert initially befriended Show, but after her boyfriend, Lawrence Yunkin, raped Show, Lambert became jealous and enraged, convinced Show was pursuing Yunkin. Lambert began a campaign of harassment, stalking Show with the sometime-assistance of friends.
On December 20, 1991, Laurie Show was brutally murdered in her home by Lambert and a recently made friend, Tabitha Buck; Show's mother found her. Lambert, Yunkin, and Buck were quickly arrested. Yunkin plead guilty and testified against Lambert in exchange for a reduced sentence of 20 years, and Lambert and Buck were convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
During Laurie Show's harassment and stalking, there were no anti-stalking laws in Pennsylvania.
