A New Mexico woman was arrested in MAY this year by officers of the
Albuquerque Police Department in what could be the most extreme case of
stalking ever recorded in the history of the country. The 28-year old
woman, Linda Murphy, allegedly not only called her ex-lover a formidable 27,000 times
in a week, but also sent him 1937 emails, 41 229 text messages, 217 sung
messages and 647 letters in the same period.
Linda Murphy, who has an history of obsessive compulsive behavior,
would have badly taken her breakup with William Ryans, with whom she had
had a relationship for three weeks. She is accused of using up to three
phones at once to call him, 24 hours a day, on his cell phone, home
number and at work. The woman would have ingested large quantities of
energy drinks and amphetamines to remain awake and would have gone
sleepless for a week, calling her ex nonstop.
“My client is profoundly relieved that Ms. Murphy is finally behind
bars” stated the plaintiff’s lawyer, J.D. James Kilroy. “He hasn’t been
able to sleep, work or enjoy life in any way, for more than a week. He
was having a hard time thinking clearly and was nearing depression, it
was about time the harassment ceased. Now all we want is for Ms. Murphy
to get the medical help she needs, and for the law to keep her away from
my client.”
The accused is expected to appear in the state court tomorrow in
Albuquerque, and most experts presume that the judge will order a
psychological evaluation of the woman to determine if she is capable of
standing trial.
