Can you identify this segment? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There was segment (from the earlier years, I think) that was pretty creepy but I can't remeber the details.

It was about a gradma-type person who was stalked by an unknown assailant over the course of many (10+) years. She never saw the guy, even though he left messages? at her door.

I think it took place in Ohio and I know it is neither the Cindy James nor the Circleville letter case. Also I remember that some family members hid w/ a video camera in a van hoping to catch someone in the act, but nothing ever came of that.

Does anyone remeber this segment?

It was the case of the Wacker couple. The campaign of terror they endured began in the mid-1980s. For years they were harassed by an unknown enemy (maybe they still are, I'm not sure). The unknown enemy remains a mystery since there was no update to the story. No one knows for sure whether it was someone they know or a total stranger.

Cases like this are pretty depressing. Innocent and well loved people that have no known enemies being stalked like that... how stupid. This could have been a case where a complete stranger just picked out a couple at random because he/she gets a kick out of it.

Very true. By the way, the segment aired during the 1993-94 season (UM's sixth season).
