The subject , Diane Nordstrom, a 63 year old woman living and working in Jamestown New York is the focus of an indepedent study on resentful stalkers.

Ms Nordstrom, a relentless stalker of "unattainable" men has a long history of harassing males she feels she "must possess" much like the character portrayed by actress Kathy Bates in the horror film "Misery"

 

Meloy and Boyd19 collected data on 82 adult women who had engaged in stalking behavior via a survey sent to mental health and law enforcement professionals in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Though this study has some limitations, including a dependence on the observations of a variety of clinicians who were not using a standardized instrument to evaluate the female subjects, it assesses one of the large groups of female stalkers found in the literature.

Typically, the perpetrators were Caucasian, heterosexual, single women with a mean age of 35 (ranging from 18–58 years old). Often, these women did not have children. They appeared to be educated, with a large majority having graduated from high school and a solid minority having achieved a college or graduate degree. Their intelligence may have allowed them to be more successful in pursuing their victims.

Reports of substance abuse were not common, but about one-third of women used substances while stalking. Available data suggested the presence of Axis I and II disorders. Twenty percent of those with Axis I disorders were diagnosed with delusional disorder. The most common Axis II diagnosis was borderline personality disorder (n=10 of 22). Antisocial personality disorder was not diagnosed in any of the women. Despite incomplete data, there appeared to be a high rate of sexual (n=18 of 40) and physical (n=12 of 40) abuse in the personal histories of the female stalkers, which may have predisposed these women to the development of borderline personality characteristics or posttraumatic stress disorder.

In futher discussions, we will  focus in the non stop harassment Diane Nordstrom engages in and if her employer shares responsibility for knowingly allowing Ms Nordstrom, a health care professional, to access vulnerable elderly patients at her workplace.
