Below is the true story of life with a stalker, police interactions, the trial and life after he gets out of prison.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve heard from several women across the company having the same problems with getting help.&nbsp; It&#8217;s time to shed a light and increase awareness and response to those in similar situations. Laws need changed.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not telling my story to be vindictive or make the police response look bad.&nbsp; It is simply what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**This is my story of how I was stalked for over 5 years. Please note that some details in this blog may be hard to read. This blog contains foul language and sexual content. Readers discretion is advised.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STALKED PART 1 of 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a recruiter for a local staffing firm for 10 years. A divorced mom with 3 kids, living and loving life.&nbsp; Every other weekend the kids went with their dad and I enjoyed my free time.&nbsp; I met a man named Michael McClellan at work. He was a stockbroker at a brokerage firm I was staffing for at the time. We started talking on Match.com. He was smart, charming and professional and we seemed to hit it off right away. We hung out on my free weekends, both of us taking a break from the \u201cdating scene\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No talk of love, no talk of future, no overnights with the kids, no mixing&nbsp;our day to day lives. Just\u2026. Company.&nbsp; He was respectful, lived in a nice home, drove a nice car, always paid, and we both agreed it was a \u2018for now\u2019 thing. I mean what could go wrong. There were red flags, but nothing I couldn\u2019t look past for the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our time as friends, he told me he was adopted and had Italian roots.&nbsp; Even fancied himself as an Italian \u201cmobster\u201d to a degree. Now this is where I began to notice some red flags. Keep in mind his last name is McClellan but on occasions, he used the last name Martarano (an Italian Mob family in Jersey he claimed he was related to). He would order pizza under other fake names then pick it up at the bank across the street instead of at his house.&nbsp; His car, his home, etc.. were all in someone else&#8217;s name &#8211; weird things like that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One big thing I should have paid attention to was his rule of thumb. This was his 11-month rule he lived by. \u201cIf you want revenge against someone who did you wrong, you do it 11 months after whatever happened.&nbsp; It\u2019s far enough away that they\u2019ve moved on, yet close enough for them to wander if it\u2019s you.\u201d His other rule was to never trust a guy in a turtleneck. I thought he was just trying to show off &#8211; Like I said, we agreed this was short term so, whatever.&nbsp; I took it all with a grain of salt. Never in a million years did I think he would apply his rule to me, but I was so wrong.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hunting4connections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/54428459_387042558754025_1424425255178338304_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short amount of time together and some slightly concerning red flags, we both decided we were ready get back on the dating scene and parted ways. Easy Breezy. He went away, no harm no fowl, no hurt feelings.&nbsp; I didn\u2019t see or hear from him \u2013 until\u202611 months later. He was back. It all started on my way home from a Rolling Stones concert with my then new boyfriend L. Mike was the furthest thing from my mind. My phone started ringing and I received several texts.&nbsp; Finally, on the 26th&nbsp;call, I picked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll try my best to be open and honest. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve forgotten some things, but here it goes.&nbsp; Embarrassing parts and all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to see the progression is through the timeline of events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**All can be verified in court records, phone logs, videos, and testimony.&nbsp; Some names have been changed to protect their identity. Please be advised, strong language is used throughout this blog.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 12TH&nbsp;&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the blue \u2013 on my way home from a concert with boyfriend (L) \u2013 I received 26 phone calls and several text messages from Mike. It was urgent he talk to me.&nbsp; He had something to show me and needed to come over right away.&nbsp; My answer? NO.&nbsp; He showed up at my home later that night anyway demanding to come in. I was shocked to hear him insisting he found a \u201cfake identity\u201d on me. He marched over to my computer, put his thumb drive in, and tried to show me. This quickly turned into how much he missed and loved me and wanted to be together. My answer again? \u201cNo. Please leave my house.\u201d He finally left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 15TH&nbsp;&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>88 phone calls between 9:20am and 11:04pm.&nbsp; 123 total calls that day. Every phone call went unanswered. That day I also received multiple long rambling love letters through email, he dropped off gifts at my house and work, left me voice mails, and sent texts all day long saying he knows we should be together, we\u2019re perfect.. blah blah blah\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine someone calling back to back to back to back\u2026. Back then, you couldn\u2019t block the number.&nbsp; Maddening. My phone quickly became useless to me and a weapon for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 17TH&nbsp;\u2013 26TH&nbsp;&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By now I have received HUNDREDS of phone calls, emails and text. He was still showing up at work and my home. If he knew I was home he would honk the horn on his car until I came out, wanting to say goodbye and letting me know I can always come back to him. Still delivered gifts to both my home and work.&nbsp; Trying to tell me the guy I\u2019m dating now can\u2019t compare to him and what we could have.&nbsp; He even delivered a CD he made of himself I was supposed to share with my friends so they could see how much he loved me and so they would help convince me we should be together.&nbsp; It went into the drawer with all the other crazy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***When we finally watched it before trial it was 45 minutes long.&nbsp; &nbsp;The \u201cLove CD\u201d \u2013 It really shows the crazy and his state of mind.&nbsp; He admits to coming on like a \u201cfreight train\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again \u201cNO!\u201d.&nbsp; Very clearly, in person, every time he showed up. My answer was always \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 26TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That evening while I was watching TV with L at my home, I get a knock at the door.&nbsp; Upon opening it, Mike barges in declaring his love. Challenging L in every way.&nbsp; Physically and emotionally.&nbsp; \u201cNo one\u2019s love can compare to mine\u201d he shouted.&nbsp; I yell at him to get out and pick up the phone to call the police. He leaves. After I threaten to call the police, things began to change. He became more agitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say after that, my relationship with L didn\u2019t last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 27TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day I received yet again, an astonishing amount of calls. 56 to be exact. Calls of him begging me to come back.&nbsp; All hours of the day, non-stop. I\u2019m still ignoring ALL of these and by me ignoring him, he starts to get very angry in emails.&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t understand. Why won\u2019t I take him back? I finally decided to reply to one of his hundreds of emails to tell him no. I wanted to be very clear to him and also so I would have it documented that this is NOT what I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7889\/files\/Picture5_large.png?v=1579669630\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not scared at this point. I\u2019m annoyed, I feel harassed, and confused why this is the world\u2019s worst breakup for him when we weren\u2019t even dating to begin with. I needed him to stop. This is now getting in the way of my job and my life in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 28TH&nbsp;\u2013 NOVEMBER 4TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28 Calls. He came by work twice. I got emails stating things like \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you leave your porch light on?\u201d and \u201cI saw his wallet on your table\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ve been watching you from the parking lot across the creek from your work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I\u2019m starting to get creeped out and a little concerned but mainly still just very annoyed with his behavior. I was a little nervous but I kept myself calm with the thought \u201cHe\u2019s just taking this really hard. Nothing will come of it and it\u2019ll blow over soon if I keep ignoring him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*I\u2019ve learned that bad guys will often tell you what they are going to do, it\u2019s just a matter of if you\u2019re listening to them or not. As seen below.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7889\/files\/Picture4_large.png?v=1579669663\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER 31st&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was at an Ingram Hill concert in Chicago with my girlfriends.&nbsp; A much-needed weekend away.&nbsp; Now I can\u2019t prove this, but I wholeheartedly believed Mike followed us to Chicago. We saw him on the highway a couple times on the way there and he makes mention that it was a coincidence and he wasn\u2019t following us. Nothing happened besides the normal emails and calls he has been bombarding me with but still, creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 4TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike followed me home with Champaign in hand for yet another, last goodbye. He told me he was moving to Florida and getting married to a wife he had purchased. What? Ok, I didn\u2019t believe him, but whatever it took to get him out. And hey, maybe he would really move!&nbsp; I mean how many times does he have to say goodbye? Leave already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 7TH&nbsp;\u2013 8TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 days of silence, peace, and relief. Finally, he\u2019s gone. Life is normal, and I can put my mind to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope, he\u2019s still here. Great. 54 back to back phone calls between 11:03 and 11:52pm. Then 30 more calls the next morning.&nbsp; Emails and more emails. Just when I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, things start getting worse. And by worse, I mean CREEPY! This is where he takes it to a new level. As I sit at my desk at work an email came up. It\u2019s from him (eye roll). Again, I\u2019m annoyed. Until I open the email. It\u2019s pictures of the inside of my house. HE\u2019S INSIDE MY HOUSE! Instant fear came over me. I immediately call the police to make the first report. By the time I got home with my children, he was still there. I told him to leave and called the police and reported him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police came and he left but 10 minutes after the police left, he was back.&nbsp; I tried to keep him in the garage. My only thought was \u201cmy kids are inside.\u201d.&nbsp; I yell at my 7-yr. old to call the police. So he did. Meanwhile, his 4-year-old twin brother and sister were sound asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s how that went down. The dispatcher kept asking my son to check on me in the garage \u2013 that was mistake #1. Every time my son came in to check on me, it only made Mike angrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, after what felt like hours but was only a few minutes, 4 patrol cars show up. Keep in mind 2 had just left 10 min ago. The officers tell him to quit harassing me.&nbsp; Turns out he had a suspended Drivers license and weed in his pocket, but the officers decided the best thing to do was to let him call a friend to come get him and LEAVE HIS CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR HIM TO COME BACK AND GET! WHAT?! No thank you officer, but that\u2019s what they decided. That was mistake #2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure enough, he comes back to get his car. With every door locked, I hold my kids tight ready for the worst. The second we saw the headlights from his BMW shine in the window, we held our breath ready to call 911 again. Luckily, he didn\u2019t bother us again that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 9TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day I finally got Protective Order \u2013 after being turned away because I didn\u2019t have his birthday and address!&nbsp; So, I\u2019m supposed to drive bye my stalkers house to get his address \u2013 and what \u2013 call him for his birthday?&nbsp; Are you kidding me! I\u2019m already nervous as hell, I mean what will he do when he gets it!&nbsp; I went back to the car and called one of the officers that was at my house the previous night.&nbsp; I begged him to give me the info so I could go back in and get the order.&nbsp; He did, so I marched right back in and got it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to, what will he do when he gets it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way home I changed my phone number and my personal email address.&nbsp; This whole time he was emailing both my work and home address.&nbsp; I could only change my personal one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first question while reading this might be \u201cwhy did I wait so long to report him?\u201d Well I didn\u2019t want to ruin the guys life. I just wanted him to LEAVE ME ALONE! He kept stating he understood and said kept saying his goodbyes. I really wanted to believe him. It was hard to imagine any of this could happen to me and thought if I kept ignoring him that he would eventually go away. I mean why on earth would you want to be with someone that doesn\u2019t want to be with you? That, and I was way too nice. I\u2019m embarrassed now that it took me so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 10TH&nbsp;\u2013 16TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little bit of a break from all of the crazy, I have time be with my kids, get a little work done, and had a little comfort in the fact that I had a protective order. I can sleep at night again. Until\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 17TH&nbsp;\u2013 19TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calls and emails started back up. How did he get my new number?? I start seeing him in parking lots, gas stations, by my house, down the street, and on the street behind my house. It made sense to call the police again. I gave them the PO (protective order) and all the new emails I received.&nbsp; The police called Mike and told him to leave me alone, and that there was a PO in place. Mike said he said he understands. The police advice to me was to turn off my phone and email. That afternoon I got an interesting call. It was Mikes friend Bobby and his wife. Bobby was a police officer. I guess after I filed another report against him, Mike went to Bobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were calling to try to get me to drop the PO. They didn\u2019t want me to ruin his career. I told him he had to stop. The call ended up being 47-minutes long trying to reason with them (and Mike on the phone), but not backing down. Bobby needed to get him to stop. Nothing else had worked. I thought maybe if I could show Bobby how crazy Mike was acting, he could help. The police and eventually the jury had questions\/problems with that call. They couldn\u2019t understand why after all that time I tried to reason with Mike and Bobby. I was desperate for him to stop. Their questioning of me made me feel like they were looking for reasons to blame me. Like I lead him on. I did not expect that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 20TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike \u2018officially\u2019 receives the PO Paperwork (according to testimony), although he was referring to it and knew all about it the day I went to the courthouse to get it. Furious, he then emails the owner of the company I worked for as well as my direct boss telling them how awful they are \u2018on my behalf\u2019.&nbsp; Clearly trying to get me fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 21ST&nbsp;\u2013 22ND<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>36 Calls and more emails DEMANDING I drop the PO. I call the police, the officer calls Mike and AGAIN explains the PO, and to leave me alone or charges will be filed. Police advice was to turn off my phone and email. Thanks, because that seems to be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police seemed annoyed with the situation, but I\u2019m getting scarred. Everything is getting more and more aggressive. I have kids I have to think about. This isn\u2019t just me in the situation, there is three kids involved as well. Once he learned I hadn\u2019t yet dropped the PO, he filed a false police report against me. What?! What on earth could he have filled against me? Get this, he told police that I was violating the PO by calling him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He created 92 false text messages that he said were from me. He would get on his computer online, create a text with my number (you could do this back in the day on flip phones) and then send himself text messages making it look like I was blowing his phone up! I couldn\u2019t go home. I had to send my kids with their dad, and I stayed at a friend\u2019s. He\u2019s coming on like a freight train. He\u2019s lost his mind and now, the police don\u2019t know who to believe. This is a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 25TH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decide to go to a concert with my friends who I haven\u2019t seen since this madness started. I hadn\u2019t been out in a long time and I didn\u2019t really want to go but, I needed to get my mind off this. After my friends spent hours convincing me that I should go, I finally said OK. So off we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was enjoying my time with my friends at the concert. My mind veered away briefly from everything going on until out of the corner of my eye I see him. Mike\u2019s here. He quickly approached me and cornered me at the bar, threatens to kill me and tells my friends to enjoy their time.&nbsp; My friends pull him away as did a number of random strangers there and call the police. He was escorted out. Another report filed.&nbsp; Witness statements taken. This time they give me information on Victims Assistance and recommended I contact them, which I did immediately. I spoke with a nice lady with all the info and evidence in hand. She also called him. Police advice was to turn off my phone and email (again, thanks.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of leaving and walking into the open unguarded parking lot or getting a ride home to where he knows I live, I stayed with security until the concert was over. I felt it was the safest place to be.&nbsp; Later on you\u2019ll learn the jury didn\u2019t like that. They assumed I stayed and partied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 26TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The multiple calls from the police and the lady from the victim\u2019s assistance telling him to back off and leave me alone, were clearly being ignored by him. Emails were sent to everyone in my company trying to get me fired. He also started using alias emails and speaking in 3rd&nbsp;person.&nbsp; Another Police Report and went to Victims Assistance again with the updates. Victims Assistance tells me she is going to turn the case in to the Detective with the county. Mike received another phone call telling him to leave me alone or he will end up in jail. I got another helpful recommendation from the police to turn off my phone and email. Sounds familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER 26TH&nbsp;\u2013 DECEMBER 13TH&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More calls, emails, a drive-by or two, parking lot stalking, and ultimatums to drop the PO.&nbsp; This time all from different email addresses. Now he\u2019s trying to cover his tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DECEMBER 13TH&nbsp;\u2013 21st&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1st&nbsp;appointment with 1st&nbsp;detective.&nbsp; I gave all phone records, emails, etc\u2026&nbsp; Detective interviewed Mike.&nbsp; According to transcripts of the interview, During the interview the detective asked if Mike was ready to stop this nonsense. Mike said \u201cI\u2019m not a threat, I want to help her.&nbsp; I will be there to help her someday.&nbsp; You can\u2019t stop me.&nbsp; The sheriff can\u2019t stop me\u201d\u2026 laughs, ran his fingers through his hair, leaned back in his chair, and says \u201cbut probably should.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transcripts also show he had been in trouble in the past.&nbsp; DWS, check deception, theft, intimidation, and another PO.&nbsp; The 7-page transcripts tell a delusional story of what was going on.&nbsp; Both in the past and the present.&nbsp; It still floors me. He also turned in 92 text messages he created on his computer to look like they were from me.&nbsp; 92!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*YIKES! You should see this video of the interview, it\u2019s appalling! YES it\u2019s all on video!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within a few weeks both the Detective and Victims assistance stopped returning my calls and totally dropped it. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things still continued at Full force, all hours of the day and night\u2026&nbsp; It was\u2026. Ugghhh. The only solution from police was to again, turn off my phone and email.&nbsp; I\u2019m a single mom with 3 kids and a sales job\u2026 not an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DECEMBER 21ST&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The date of the PO hearing has arrived (of course he appealed the PO). I was terrified and nervous. All the feeling you could I have I felt. I was scared to see him, to tell the judge everything that was going on. All of it, terrifying. I had no idea what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shows up with his friend Bobbie who happened to be a Police officer in uniform, as well as with another \u201cfriend\u201d and that friends\u2019 newborn baby.&nbsp; He looked like a nice, family oriented, good guy. (engage another eye-roll emoji).&nbsp; I went with my parents.&nbsp; Despite all the evidence, police reports, emails, and text messages, the magistrate denied the PO. I was floored and speechless. I could not believe that just happened. Tears filled my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m losing hope that this is ever going to end. I started crying in court asking the judge \u201cwhat am I supposed to do?\u201d He instructed me in open court to come back if I receive any contact at all from him. When we left, he was waiting outside the courthouse doors for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;With my head down and my parents beside me, I walked fast to my car. He\u2019s yelling at me while I cross the street. \u201dSee you soon\u201d he says. By the time I got home\u2026 I had 2 emails. The next day, I went back and got a new PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7889\/files\/Picture3_large.png?v=1579669738\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>DECEMBER 22nd \u2013&nbsp;23rd&nbsp;&nbsp;2006<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a new PO in hand, I decided to venture out to a local bar with my friends I haven\u2019t seen since this started.&nbsp; It used to be my (not his) regular Friday night afterwork hangout.&nbsp; Not long after I was there, he showed up and he was pissed. He walked up to my table, slammed his fist down in front of me, yelling at me, calling me names, and making a scene. My friends immediately got between us and Mike was ready to fight them. I grabbed the PO, showed the security on duty and he was kicked out.&nbsp; &#8211; Another police report filed. Provided again, all the emails, phone records etc. along with all the new ones.&nbsp; Another phone call to him from authorities, another confirmation of the PO\u2019s, another recommendation to shut off my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After he got kicked out, the text messages started rolling in.

They were death threats made to look like they were from me.&nbsp; The officer stated he knew there was a PO and I needed to stop contacting Mike or he would take ME TO JAIL over Christmas weekend. \u2013 I made ANOTHER police report.&nbsp; Then a couple hours later there was a knock at my door, more police, it seems Mike requested a wellness check \u2013 \u201cI was hyped up on cocaine and threatening suicide.\u201d&nbsp; I filed another report against him\u2013 same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can the judicial system be failing me this hard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emails from fake address continue and more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JANUARY 11TH&nbsp;2007<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another PO hearing \u2013 he appealed again, and this time however it was granted in open court.
