The Invisible, But Murderous, Stalker

 

Christina Grimmie (1994-2016)

I've often thought about the strange phenomenon of someone - man or woman - coming to mean "everything" for an individual, whom they don't even know in person, but has seen on the scene or on a screen. That means that someone is sitting at his computer - and it very often is a "he" - and out of the blue he falls in love with a woman, whom he sees performing in some way. She may be an artist, an actor or simply a pretty woman, who may be selling "adult shows", but somehow these individuals, these strangers, are being turned into an important part of some man's private life: He comes to feel that he has a relationship with the paid sex-show-goddess or, as in the case of Christina Grimmie, the famous and very popular Voice-singer from YouTube. Actually, they have never met, but he has dreams and plans about the day they shall do so. He feels that being attracted to her gives him a right to approach her and somehow "collect what's his" - without her ever having been so.

Kevin James Loibl (1989-2016)

 

Many fans are still mourning the death of Christina Grimmie, but some who knew her murderer, the super-incel Kevin James Loibl, are also feeling sad for him. As with many other stalker-killers targeting young, budding, female stars, he was a recluse, even to an extent that he shunned sun-light, sitting in his room with shaded windows, living his life at the computer. However, he simply fell in love with this young, budding singer, and then he started to change his looks in order to win her heart. He had LASIK eye surgery, had his teeth bleached, lost 50 pounds and had some hair implants to cover up his receding hairline. As Christina was religious, he even started to profess a new-found belief in God himself.

 

After one of her performances he had a chance of meeting her in person, and she, seeing him as one of her many devoted fans, was about to hug him, when he shot her before shooting himself. What an utterly stupid, meaningless tragedy because a socially imbecile fell in love with the picture, he had made up in his mind!

 

Christina was a talented, young woman who loved life and animals, like e.g. this dog from an animal shelter.
