CSI: Miami alum Eva LaRue dealt with a stalker terrorizing and threatening her family for 12 years before he was sentenced to jail. "He got three and a half [years], and he had just gotten out when we were starting to shoot the documentary," LaRue, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, December 3, about sharing her story in Paramount+'s My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story. "This whole time in the 12 years, we didn't know that he hadn't been to California several times. In all of his letters, he was saying, 'I'm watching you. I'm around the corner. I'm watching you from work.'" After the man's arrest, LaRue learned that he had actually "never been to California," where she lived with daughter Kaya. "He got out, and they released him in Los Angeles. They put him in a halfway house [that was] 10 miles from our house," LaRue recalled on Wednesday. "Then, they graduated him to his own apartment about five miles from our house. It took me three months of lobbying with his superior probation officer [to have him relocated]." The Most Shocking True Crime Docs of 2024: 'Quiet on Set' and More According to LaRue, she attempted to speak with local officers who allegedly told her "there's nothing [they] can do" because "that's just how it rolls." "I was, like, 'How it rolls?' He's never been to California. You just gave him a lovely paid vacation to live five miles down the street from our house. This is insane,'" she said. "It took three months of lobbying. The U.S. attorneys thankfully helped me and got him sent back to Ohio." Even though her stalker was transferred out of Los Angeles, LaRue stressed that her family "will always look over [their] shoulders" for his potential return.

"I've brought it up to Kaya, and she's like, 'Mom, I don't want to talk about it.' I'm like, 'No, I get it.' And yet, for me, I'm back in that space again where I'm like, 'What if?'" LaRue's stalker is currently on probation, where he must report to his case workers every two weeks. "[There's] a lot of time in between check-ins and [what happens if] people don't care anymore if they're caught [or] if they die," the actress told Us. "I'm living in that paranoia. How do I not? And when we went to court, he was talking in his statement about how he wished he'd gotten therapy sooner, he wished he'd been on medication sooner because maybe his mental health issues wouldn't have spiraled to that level. But when he's off probation, who keeps him on meds? Who keeps him going to therapy?" The man has not reached out to LaRue since starting his probationary period. "He would go right back to jail if he did right now," LaRue added, noting that he had treated his initial behavior "almost like a game." Why True Crime Is Getting the Hollywood Treatment LaRue and Kaya, now 23, recently recounted the ordeal in My Nightmare Stalker. "We went back and forth about doing the docuseries at all, and now I understand why so many other actors have never come forward about their stalkers," LaRue said. "Because as soon as the person moves on from you, you just want it to go away. You're so terrorized for so long that when their attention is finally off of you, you never want to open that box again. You don't want to poke the bear." LaRue, however, wanted to shine a light on the two FBI agents, Steve Bush and Steve Kramer, who pioneered the forensics genealogy technology that helped solve her case. "It was so important to highlight what they've done," she said. "They literally changed the future of law enforcement in that this forensics genealogy technology will eradicate the words 'serial murderer' and 'serial rapist' from the vernacular going forward because now they will catch somebody right away. Our case was the very first case ever adjudicated with this new technology, so it was important to tell their story and our story."
