There are multiple cases in the news which involve stalking. Oftentimes the stalking is not identified. This is a huge problem & a public protection risk 🚩 Here’s a short🧵 given my expertise in this area:
Stalking: an intense preoccupation with another person = it’s literally hunting humans
I call these cases Murder in Slow Motion™️ for good reason
1 in 2 domestic abuse stalkers, will make a threat & act on it. 1 in 10 if there’s no relationship. N.B. Take all threats seriously.
Domestic abuse stalkers who have been rejected, who feel they have been wronged & who have the mindset ‘it ends when & how I say’ are the most dangerous along with predatory stalkers. Predatory stalkers often target women & girls & the motive is sexual/power & control related.
Common features I see in stalkers are:
Fixated & obsessed behaviour; distorted thinking; narcissism - self absorbed - supercharged sense of entitlement - inability to take other perspectives into account. Also many are SERIAL perpetrators & dangerous 🚩🚩
Stalkers should be proactively identified, assessed & managed. Along with serial domestic abusers, stalkers should be included on the same database as sex offenders #Stalking #Stalkers #Expert
The stalkers who escalate to murder are mainly men. The targets - the victims - are mostly women. We have a huge opportunity to prevent murders in slow motion™️ If you need advice or expert led training, I can help. Please contact Amanda laurarichardspa@gmail.com

Bravo: 4 more of Tate’s cars have been seized as well as more than 10 properties or land owned by companies registered to the Tate brothers #AndrewTate apnews.com/article/romani…
That’s in addition to the 11 seized last week. “If we prove they gained money through human trafficking they will be taken by the state & will cover the expenses of the investigation & damages to the victims.” Ramona Bolla, Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT said.
DIICOT said in a statement last week that it has identified six victims who were subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by group members.

We need to talk about male violence - men killing women & children. Too many women & children have already been killed & it’s the start of a new year - Bruna Fonseca, Natalie McNally & Tausha Haight, her mother Gail Earl, & Tausha’s five children -
identified by family and friends as Macie (17), Briley (12), twins Ammon and Sienna (7), & Gavin (4). I can’t tell you whether these men thought it right to kill, but what I can tell you from 27 years of profiling cases is that they thought it was THEIR RIGHT.
We need to talk about this supercharged sense of entitlement and ownership men believe they have over women and children and stop saying it’s ‘senseless’ ‘tragic’ ‘gun violence’ ‘motiveless’ It’s not.

Utterly 💔🧵Utah man Michael Haight shot and killed his wife Tausha Haight & mother-in-law Gail Earl in the family home on Jan 4 before killing his five children, 3 daughters & 2 sons aged between 4 - 17.
Divorce papers were served on Dec 27. This entitled man killed them all Image
Unfortunately this is no great mystery. Separation is a high risk factor for serious harm & femicide. Coercive control also correlates significantly with femicide & familicide. He felt his wife and family were his property, his possession, his right.
When Tausha wanted out of the relationship, Haight wasn’t going to allow it. It was going to end his way. I can’t tell you whether he thought it right to kill them, but he thought it was HIS RIGHT. Men with a supercharged sense of entitlement are a risk to women & children 🚩

Let’s talk about #AndrewTate He was arrested in 2015 for rape. The investigation took 4 years. The CPS decided not to prosecute. In that time he was in Big Brother & ALLOWED to build a name for himself as a self proclaimed misogynist & coercive controller vice.com/en/article/bvm…
He made lots of money from targeting, love bombing & manipulating & exploiting women. He coerced them to go on webcams & perform sexually. He called it the “lover boy method.” I call it coercive control. It’s a CRIME in 🇬🇧
He set up an ‘academy’ to teach boys how to groom, exploit & manipulate girls. He called it the “Pimpin Hoes Degree.”I call it organised crime, grooming & coercive control. He TOLD everyone what he was doing. It’s no secret. It’s on his website too.

This progress is positive. The killer will most likely be known to Natalie, yes. BUT police saying he is not a risk to other women is utter nonsense. He murdered a woman who was pregnant. Of course he is a risk to other women 🚩 EVERY woman knows this. I really wish ImageImage
Men would stop saying ridiculous things like this & focus on what’s important. Appeal to those who know this man. Someone knows him. Listen to the Community intell. I’m hearing that a former partner was stalking Natalie. Do the house-to house, speak to those who knew Natalie &
those whom she confided in. Speak with her family, friends, check social media etc. There’s lots to do in the star burst of a murder. This man is a public protection risk 🚩 Any man who murders a woman is. Help find him. Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack?

Can you help find Natalie McNally’s killer? Natalie was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. She was stabbed to death in her home in Lurgan Northern Ireland on Sunday 18 December. This man carrying a rucksack arrived at Silverwood Green near Natalie’s home at 852pm.
He was seen leaving Silverwood Green at 930pm. @PoliceServiceNI are appealing for phone/video footage, CCTV, car dash-cam footage, photos, any information that can help find him. Also, there’s a golf course close to Natalie’s house which leads to the M1 Motorway.
Perhaps you saw the man with the rucksack around this time? Do you recognize his gait in the video? Or maybe you know someone locally who was acting strangely after Natalie’s murder. You can upload info anonymously here mipp.police.uk/operation/PSNI… or
