Eva LaRue Recounts 12-Year Stalking Ordeal in New Paramount+ Doc as Convicted Stalker Is Now Free

The two-part series uses their case to push for tougher anti-stalking laws.

Overview

  • LaRue and daughter Kaya Callahan describe years of graphic threats that began in 2007, including letters signed “Freddie Krueger.”
  • The harassment escalated to real-world contact in 2019 when a caller impersonated Kaya’s father to try to have her leave school.
  • DNA recovered from a letter led to the 2019 arrest of Ohio resident James David Rogers, who pleaded guilty in 2022 and received a 40-month federal sentence.
  • CBS reports Rogers is now out of prison, and LaRue says they do not expect to ever feel fully safe as hypervigilance persists.
  • The Paramount+ docuseries premiering Nov. 13 recounts the investigation and survivor impact while urging broader protections for stalking victims beyond celebrity cases.
