Breaking News: Woman’s Nightmare Ends as Stalker Identified as Real-Life J.D. Salinger Protagonist
Date: March 12, 2023
SEATTLE, WA – In a shocking turn of events, a Seattle-based woman has finally escaped the clutches of her terrifying stalker, identified as a man eerily similar to the protagonist in J.D. Salinger’s classic novel "Nine Stories." The suspect, known only as "Joseph," has been stalking his victim for months, sending her cryptic letters and following her everywhere she went.
According to sources close to the investigation, the stalker’s obsession with the victim began when she began reading "Nine Stories" in a local book club. Joseph, it appears, became fixated on the protagonist, Holden Caulfield, and somehow mistook the victim for a real-life embodiment of the character.
The stalking behavior escalated rapidly, with Joseph sending the victim handwritten notes and gifts, often with references to the book. He would also show up at her workplace, hovering around her desk, and even follow her on public transportation.
The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the ordeal as "a living nightmare" and said she was forced to change her daily routine and take extreme measures to avoid Joseph.
"It was like he was stalking me through the pages of that book," she said. "I felt like I was trapped in some twisted game of cat and mouse."
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have taken Joseph into custody without incident. The victim has received support from local domestic violence organizations and is said to be receiving counseling.

I am at a loss for my mental peace, my physical security, and the possibility of it not being alive for much longer. He has a separate apple watch line that he used to teather to my iPhone. He had access to every call, every msg, apps, everything at all times.
I lived with my ex for about 3 months. he made it seem like he was my soul mate, always new the right thing to day, always knew what i felt like, knew everything. It was the perfect relationship in my eyes, but it was all a lie. I noticed the emotional abuse have all too familiar feelings of self doubt, incompetence, hopelessness.. etc. in myself. Feelings that i havent had in over 6 years. I started to explore why, but he beat me to life and broke up with me. I thought i dogged a bullet but little did i know his sick game had just begun. A real life Joe Goldburg. I think back and i dont know if he was doing this the entire relationship… which is where i am just lost with myself, how, why?
However as it begun, I went back to school after the summer and i was no longer alone. I have my friends, my job, my therapist, the DA (from the county), the VSU, the DV advocates, social services, my family, and over all an amazing support system. I googled "How to survive emotional abuse" and put the steps to work.
- Don't try to fix them. …
- Avoid self-blame. …
- Prioritize your needs. …
- Avoid engaging with them. …
- Set personal boundaries. …
- Build a support network. …
- Exit the relationship or circumstance. …
- Give yourself time to heal.
The feelings of hopelessness and non belonging quickly faded as i kept setting healthy boundaries and taking care of myself.
It was step 4 that broke him.. – not being able to handle the disengagement from his manipulation he broke up with me and moved out but still seemed to know everything. How? -My battery on my iphone had been dying very quickly when he'd have it on all day checking on me. It dawned on me thats why he wanted me to be on his wifi to make it easier to which i refused at first but he insisted. He moved out with a police escort and didnt take all his items, on purpose. He refused to give the keys to the house back to the landlord, took a garage remote, and is now contacting extended family members to feel sorry for him. I kept hearing his motorcycle at night thinking i was going crazy, but he needed to be near by to connect to my iphone via bluetooth.
Throughout this time i kept getting apple watch notifications that i continuously dismissed because i did not use my apple watch like that. I deleted the apple watch app itself, erased and unpaired my, and i still got notifications. I asked the IT department from my school to check out my devices and sure enough i was sharing my location with an apple watch with its own number, under a contact 'other'. When i go to conatcts that contact is not saved on my iphone. It dawned on me that he was using it to have access to my entire phone, by tethering it. Could have even clonned it at this point. All with the extra apple watch line.
Anyway, it can all be traced back to him. When i found out I immediately disconnected my bluetooth, wifi, changed icloud passwords, logged out my other devices. Took screenshots, told everyone i could from my support system, filed a police report, to add to the domestic violence one that he already knew about because he was reading all my msgs and getting all my calls. My reddit accounts were all compromised, i posted in r/sixwordstories and he found it, where he'd post messages to an 's'. I am s, sunflower.. my real intials to my name are FS, i am a happy mother to a 6 year old, and a full time student at my local CSU and currently pregnant.
My stalker is closely related to law enforcement, is armed and dangerous, with infantry and intelligence training from the US Army, i am scared, because an TRO is just a piece of paper.
He knows i know- i think he'll double down, but the ip addresses, he bought his own modems that are only tied to him, the internet history is all there… Thanks IT dept.
I posted this – because i need this to be as public as i can. I refuse to be on the news or a statistic. I also dont feel like offing myself, i love life and i want to live a long long life, i am most looking forward to my career taking off as i am 1 semester away from graduating! – i am not alone. –
