A disturbed adolescent boy, a young female teacher, and a fifteen-year fixation that ultimately led to a horrific and deadly abduction.
In May of 1980, Mary Stauffer and her eight-year-old daughter Beth thought they were preparing for an international mission trip. Ming Sen Shiue, Mary's high-school algebra student from 1965, had other plans. Stalking Mary is the true account of the kidnapping of Mary and Beth Stauffer, the thoughtless murder of a young boy named Jason Wilkman, and the psychosexual ploys of a dangerously deranged Shiue. Using court documents, video and audio transcriptions, personal interviews, and thousands of pages from Shiue's own sexual fantasy scripts, Eileen Biernat paints a harrowing picture of two families caught in the grip of a nightmare.
After three decades in prison, Shiue is scheduled for release on July 7, 2010—thirty years to the day that Mary and Beth, still chained together, escaped from Shiue's home where they'd been held captive for seven weeks.
