[@Muirmaiden]

@@dianarendon5845 There are different kinds of stalking. People who stalk celebrities (who do not actually have any relationship with the victim) are of a different breed than someone stalking an ex, or someone they know. That's the kind of stalking that ordinary citizens face - that is known as "simple obsession stalking" which is very common in domestic violence situations.

[@skooliemom]

I remember this. I watched My sister Sam at the time..I was shocked. Horrible..totally senseless.

[@sisterinchrist995]

It may have been different then, I remember the story, I'm 53 years old and it was all over the news, but that private investigator should have had a conscience on a heart, and a brain to know that if someone is wanting to hire him to find where a celebrity lives, they may not have good intentions, common sense says to turn that person away and not take his money so in my opinion that probably been investigator is just as to blame as this monster that did this.

Rebecca's mother, Danna Schaeffer passed away on November 6, 2022. That day would have been Rebecca's 55th birthday. I feel so bad for Rebecca's father, Benson Schaeffer. Losing his daughter was obviously heartbreaking, but at least he had his wife for comfort and support. Now she's gone and he's got no other children. I hope he has family and friends that he can lean on. He comes across as such a sweet man and its just so sad thinking of him all alone.

Back in those days people who wanted to be actresses actors or rock stars they would move out to California or new york. People still do that. She passed away at 21 though. Her parents did nothing wrong except let there girl follow her dreams. If she died when she was 16 I mean it could of happened at any age even with her parents. The world's a scary place but you cant live your life like you're going to be murdered everyday. Such a tragedy it's sad that even the killer says he wishes she was still here and that he never took so an irreplaceable life.. crazy that some murderers really do have regret.

[@eronifitiao6660]

The song Exit by U2 had influenced Robert Bardo to commit his crime and during his trial they played the song in court and he was lip syncing to the words of the song.

[@tailtap2222]

You just never know. Sometimes having the best intentions can have the worst outcomes.

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

Her writing "Yours is one of the nicest that I got" reminds me of two women I was "friends" with around this time (1989-2002). Both were born the same year as Rebecca Schaeffer, and I'm a year younger than Bardo. Those girls were very friendly on the surface but not likeable underneath that, but unlike Bardot, I was aware of that (somewhat at least). Females my age are nowhere near as polite on the surface, and I think that attracted Bardo to her - it was unusual for the women his own age he interacted with. But it's a mere surface-level protocol that has no substance underneath it - in fact they are more likely to be hostile towards non-mainstream ethnicities because in their era, those people had no societal power or status.

It should of been a law from the begin to not disclose personal information at the dmv... however these people making the documentation of this are missing a piece of information, after returning to Rebeccas door he meant to pull out of a Manila folder a cassette tape with his own music on it he wrote for her and a letter but after she’d allegedly said “you’re wasting my time” he pulled out the gun, she said “why?, why?” Then he squeezed the trigger, fleeing the scene and then disposing the gun, his shirt and a copy of “a catcher and the rye” on the roof of a nearby rehab centre... clearly he was deranged and could not depict reality and fake, believing Rebecca to be the characters she portrayed on tv

[@StarZendonna1687]

[@Savagemode09]

I feel like he targeted her because she seems like she was something that he wanted and probably discovered that she had a decent childhood. And maybe that trigger his brain because he didn't have like great parents and people that love them probably whenever he felt rejected he could have just move forward and he decide to kill her that's what I'm getting at from the type of story is that meant and you were women if you can accept the L you should like just need to experience life and not get so obsessive

We don't even know if there was a second time. No one witnessed the encounter except Bardo and Rebecca. He claims that he visited her apartment twice that morning but it seems more likely that he just visited the one time and Rebecca opened the outer door and he grabbed her arm and shot her in the chest. He probably lied about going to the apartment twice. Apparently he had a photo he said he wanted her to sign in a bag and the gun hidden beneath it. Rebecca may have tried to close the door but he grabbed a hold of her and shot her before she could.
