Eva LaRue and Daughter Recount 12-Year Stalking in New Paramount+ Docuseries

The series traces their case from graphic threats to a DNA match that led to a 2019 arrest, culminating in a 2022 federal conviction.

Overview

  • My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story premieres November 13 on Paramount+ and features interviews with LaRue and her daughter, Kaya Callahan.
  • The stalking began in 2007 with graphically violent letters signed “Freddie Krueger,” which later targeted Callahan as a child.
  • The campaign escalated when the stalker learned Callahan’s school and impersonated her father to try to have her called out of class.
  • LaRue installed security cameras and moved homes three times while shielding her daughter from many details of the threats.
  • DNA on a letter led investigators to Ohio resident James David Rogers, arrested in 2019, who pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges in 2022 and received a 40-month sentence, as LaRue now advocates stronger protections for victims.
