In 1978, Dorothy Stratten was a teenager working at a Dairy Queen. Seemingly overnight she became a star - first appearing in Playboy, then becoming Hollywood's up-and-coming actress. While some were thrilled with her fame, including friend Hugh Hefner, others (like Dorothy's husband Paul Snider) couldn't stand to see her successful. Then we cover the Rachel Barber murder that shook Melbourne, Australia in 1999. Rachel Barber was a beautiful 15 year old girl, with her life and dancing career ahead of her. Little did she know her former babysitter (Caroline Reed Robertson) was an obsessive stalker, willing to do anything to take Rachel's place.Sources:https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a12500777/dorothy-stratten-hugh-hefner-playboy-playmate/ https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/horrific-murder-playboy-playmate-verge-hollywood-stardom-flaw/story?id=66193166 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Strattenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Her_Skinhttps://www.mamamia.com.au/caroline-reed-robertson-rachel-barber/ https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/caroline-reed-robertson-who-strangled-dancer-rachel-barber-in-1999-freed-on-parole/news-story/5ce7e1bd298fbc40145f6aacf02dbfed https://morbidology.com/the-deadly-obsession-the-murder-of-rachel-barber/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2916870/Jealous-killer-strangled-promising-dancer-phone-cord-plotted-steal-identity-walk-free-jail-today-victim-s-parents-ask-allowed-life.html Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/badsign)
