38-year-old mother of three, Mary Griffiths, was brutally murdered in front of her children, by a stalker that posted to her Facebook page, John McFarlane.
She referred to him as "delusional" when he invented a relationship between the two, when none existed, in the manner of typical stalkers suffering from Erotomania. She reported his threatening behavior to the police, but they delayed meeting with her, postponing an appointment, in a decision that ended fatally for Griffiths.
Police sometimes do not take stalking victims seriously enough, when stalkers are among the most dangerous criminals in the world, as they are irrational, impetuous, violent, crazed and deranged.
Victims must press their cases with the police or federal authorities, when it becomes a civil rights violation, as their life could depend on it. So what if the police act like you're bothering them, it's your life and their job to protect you and bring justice.
McFarlane looked up Griffiths address and went to her house with an axe and bolt gun, used to kill cattle. He trespassed, cut the electricity to the house with an axe, then breached the home via breaking in through a backdoor.
He made his way up to her bedroom, where she and one of her young daughters lay asleep and attacked Griffiths, punching and beating her.
Nancy Griffiths' grieving family
McFarlane dragged Griffiths down the stairs, as her three young daughters tried to fight him off their mother. He shot her multiple times with the bolt gun, ending her life.
He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, which her family rightfully deems inadequate. His sentence needs to be reviewed and elongated. My condolences to her heartbroken family. It is truly a terrible tragedy. May God be with you and help you heal.
