Dangerous Obsessions

FILE - In this Dec. 20, 1991 file photo, Robert Bardo, an obsessed fan who killed actress Rebecca Schaeffer, pleads for a lesser sentence, with his attorney Stephen Galindo, right, before Superior Judge Dino Fulgoni in Los Angeles. Bardo shot and killed Schaeffer on July 19, 1989, at her Los Angeles apartment. The subsequent investigation and Bardo’s trial revealed that he paid a private investigator to obtain the model-actress’ address through motor vehicle records, leading to restrictions on the public release of that information and the creation of anti-stalking laws and a specialized police unit to protect celebrities and dignitaries.
