Strictly Stalking Presents: L.A. Not So Confidential

An L.A. based podcast brought to you by two forensic psychologists who dissect the intersections where true crime, forensic psychology, and entertainment meet.

Episode Description:

Crazy In Love: Erotomania

Dr. Scott & Dr. Shiloh get into the subcategory of Delusional Disorder, Erotomania; to have the delusional or false belief of a secret or known admirer. This disorder is often the trigger for obsessive celebrity stalkers and has been the cause for numerous violent acts. The docs explore the origin, criteria, and research of this rare phenomenon and cover the cases of John Hinkley Jr., Margaret Mary Ray, and the shooter who killed rising star Christina Grimmie.
