#162 - Richard Wade Farley AKA The ESL Plant Shooting

Murder Me on Monday

A man falls instantly in love with a woman who does not reciprocate. He pursues her endlessly, confident in his ability to win her round. Sounds like a RomCom?

He is a stalker, over three years he torments her, telephone calls, letters, unwanted gifts.

He claims he intended to shoot himself in front of her if she refused him one last time.

He failed to follow through with his threat, but seven other people died.
