Crazed Follower Jenae Gagnier was an Instagram star, a woman
you might remember as Miss Mercedes Morr.
She became famous in the entertainment industry, particularly in Houston, for her good looks
and daring photographs.
All her Instagram photos earned her thousands and thousands of likes.
And according to her father, Mark Gagnier, her popularity scared him.
He knew his daughter was beautiful, but it alarmed him that she was continuously trying
to get more and more beautiful, working on her appearance all the time.
He often said that with so many followers, one of them might prove to be dangerous.
But what Mark never imagined was that his daughter's commitment to her beauty would
ultimately result in her brutal death.
On a Sunday evening, he walked into his daughter's apartment – well, he kicked the door down,
and found her dead at the bottom of her staircase!
You see, Jenae’s parents hadn't heard from her in about a week.
They were extremely concerned, as it wasn't like Jenae to ignore them.
Her father felt there was something wrong in his gut, so he raced to her house and busted
through the locked door.
That was when he found his baby dead.
Beyond the body of his daughter, up the stairs in the apartment, Mark found her killer.
His name was Kevin Accorto, and he had a knife sticking out of his neck and was twitching
and gurgling when Mark found him.
He had written all over the wall with lipstick that he loved Jenae and that he was sorry
for killing her.
After the police investigation, they determined that the two had never met in real life.
Kevin had been a crazy fan, so obsessed with Jenae that he saw no other choice but to break
into her apartment, strangle her, and then shove her down the stairs.

The Fan Club Manager Selena Quintanilla was known as the Queen
of Tejano Music, a beloved Latin artist who was brutally murdered by the president of
her fan club when she was only 23-year-old.
She made her recording debut in the 80s, became an award-winning artist, and was hugely popular
in the Latin music scene.
She was even referred to as the Mexican Madonna.
But before she could truly reach her potential, a woman named Yolanda Saldivar killed her.
She was the president of Selena’s fan club, a woman who was supposed to be her number
one fan.
She had been managing Selena’s boutique in San Antonio when the two met at a hotel
room to discuss Selena’s concerns that Yolanda was embezzling money from her.
The confrontation turned hot and Yolanda pulled out a gun and shot Selena to death right there
in the hotel.
It was March 31, 1995.
Naturally, Yolanda couldn't really get away.
Everybody knew they were meeting and there was just no escaping when she had done.
She did try to tell the police that the shooting was an accident, but they didn't buy it.
She was sentenced to life in prison and will be up for parole in 2025 after serving 30
years of her sentence.

The Dancing Security Guard In China, a dancing security guard was murdered
by a disgruntled fan over $20,000.
The dancing security guard was only known to her fans by her online username, “Yubei
Female Security Guard.”
She was 33 years old at the time of her death and had been posting dancing videos at work
for about a year.
The security guard managed to build up over 300,000 followers by just dancing around in
her security outfit.
She wasn't only an online influencer, she really did have a job as a security guard.
She guarded the entrance to a driving school.
She also happened to be married with two children.
In China, it's not unusual for influencers to be given mass amounts of money from their
fans.
It’s kind of similar to how Twitch models are gifted subs by people watching them live.
In this case, the disgruntled male fan had gifted her $20,000.
But he had buyer’s remorse.
After sending her all that money in gifts during her live streams, he decided he wanted
the money back.
He got sick of watching her dance, he was angry that he had given her all that money,
and so he reached out to have a return.
But she refused, saying that the money was rightly hers.
He was so angry that he tracked her down and killed her.
What would you do if someone gave you this much money and then wanted it back?

The Death of Rebecca Schaeffer Rebecca Schaeffer was a rising TV actress
who starred in the CBS comedy My Sister Sam.
This was back in the 1980s.
On July 18, 1989, she was at her home in Los Angeles preparing to audition for a role in
the upcoming movie “The Godfather Part III.”
It would have been a roll to change her life and propel her to true stardom.
But unfortunately, she never got the chance to audition.
When her doorbell rang, she thought it was going to be the script that she had been waiting
for.
Instead, it was a man she had never seen before.
The man claimed to be her number one fan and was carrying an autographed photograph.
They had a short conversation, Rebecca closed the door, and the man took off.
But not too long after that, he returned with a .357-caliber handgun.
When Rebecca opened the door, he shot her at point-blank range and then ran away.
Rebecca, only 21 years old at the time, died that same day at the hospital.
The shooter was arrested the day after, found by the police wandering down the side of a
highway in Tucson, Arizona.
His name is Robert John Bardo, and he admitted to stalking Rebecca after becoming obsessed
with her while watching the two seasons of My Sister Sam.
He had sent her fan letters and gifts, he tried to meet her at the studio, and he finally
hired a private investigator to track down her house.
Fantasy turned reality when he knocked on the door, and the stalker went completely
insane and killed her for no real reason.
He was given life in prison without the possibility of parole and is still serving his sentence
at the Avenal State Prison in California.

Two Handguns & a Hunting Knife Christina Grimmie was at the peak of her career
when her life was snuffed out by a maniac with a pair of handguns and a hunting knife.
At the age of just 15, Christina uploaded a track to YouTube, a cover of a Miley Cyrus
song, and she went viral.
Just a few years later in 2011, she released her very first EP and relocated to Los Angeles.
In 2014, she came in 3rd in the show The Voice.
Suffice to say, she was on the way to huge stardom.
On June 10, 2016, Christina had just finished a concert in Orlando.
At this time, she was in her early 20s – no longer the teenager who uploaded covers to
YouTube.
She was hugely popular with millions and millions of fans and subscribers.
One of her fans was a grown man named Kevin James Loibl.
He attended the meet and greet after her Orlando concert.
Kevin came from St. Petersburg packing some serious hardware beneath his clothes.
As Christina was signing autographs, Kevin James walked up calmly and shot her four times.
At the age of just 22, Christina bled to death on the floor while the gunman turned the weapon
on himself.
This terrifying incident is still unexplained.
We really don't know why Kevin went completely crazy and killed the performer he supposedly
adored.
Maybe he just adored her so much that it drove him crazy to know that he would never be closer
to her than he was on the day he blasted her with bullets.

The Murder of Dimebag Darrell In the world of rock and roll, there was nothing
more shocking in 2004 than the assassination of Dimebag Darrell.
For those who don't know, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott was the lead guitarist for Pantera,
the heavy metal band.
He was shot and killed during a show on December 8 in Ohio while playing for the band Damageplan.
He wasn't the only one who died that day either.
Nathan Gale, the crazed fan with a gun, walked into the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus
while the band was on stage and shot Darrell and three other people.
He was then gunned down by a Columbus police officer in the minutes following the violent
eruption.
The other victims included a club employee, a fan in the crowd, and one of the crew members
for the band.
But why did he do it?
Nathan was only 25 years old and had his whole life ahead of him.
And it wasn't like he was in love with the guitarist either.
A police investigation later found that Nathan, who was a former marine, had been extremely
upset that Pantera broke up the year before.
He blamed Dimebag Darrell for the band splitting up and decided the only justice he’d ever
get was killing the guitarist himself.

John Lennon In 2021, not everyone knows who The Beatles
are.
Some may find this hard to believe, but the truth is that it's just not the 1960s anymore.
It's also not the 1980s, when John Lennon was brutally killed by an obsessed fan in
New York City on December 8.
For the youngsters out there who might not know, The Beatles were the biggest rock group
in history.
No other group to this day has had a crazed following quite like George Harrison, Ringo
Starr, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the ones who actually wrote and sang the songs.
In 1980, John Lennon was 40 years old and walking into his Manhattan apartment when
a guy named Mark David Chapman blasted him four times at close range with a revolver.
The bullets ripped Lennon apart and he was rushed to the hospital bleeding profusely.
But he died before he could ever get there, while the shooter sat at the scene and waited
for the police to arrest him.
John Lennon was still so popular at this point that hundreds of grieving fans literally kept
a vigil outside his house for over a week.
Plus, demonstrations of mourning were held all across the globe in just about every country.
The world wasn't so shaken up again by the death of a star until Michael Jackson died.
There was never any real motive given for the crime.
Mark David Chapman was found to be borderline psychotic and obsessed with Lennon.
He was given 20 to life, then denied parole in 2000.
He’s still behind bars today.

Attack on the Tennis Court When Monica Seles was stabbed in the back,
it was described as the most horrible day in tennis.
She was only 19 years old and considered to be the best female tennis player in the world.
Little did she know at the time, her career was already over.
Monica was born in 1973 to a Hungarian family in the former Yugoslavia.
At the age of 11, she won the Orange Bowl Tournament in Miami, then moved to the US
the following year.
At 14, she began to play professional tennis.
She won a tournament in Houston, and by the age of 16, she was number 6 in the Women’s
Tennis Association.
In 1990, Monica defeated Steffi Graf to become number one.
She went on to win awards and millions and millions of dollars in prizes and titles.
But then on April 30, 1993, she was playing a match against the Bulgarian Magdalena Maleeva
in Germany.
During a break, she leaned forward to have a drink of water when a man named Gunter Parche
stabbed her in the back with a 9” knife.
She didn't even realize what was happening.
She felt the pain, she turned around and saw the man sneering at her, and then he charged
at her again with the knife.
Luckily, the first thrust missed all of Monica’s vital organs and her spine.
When he attacked again, Monica’s bodyguard jumped in and pinned the guy down.
It turned out that the 38-year-old man was a crazed fan of Steffi Graf, the former champion
whom Monica had defeated previously.
He stabbed her to get revenge for a tennis player he never even knew.
But Monica lived and he went to jail.
She did play tennis two years later after healing, but she never returned to Germany
and retired soon after.

Attacked in Mexico Fifth Harmony star, Ally Brooke, was viciously
attacked on stage during a show in Mexico, and it happened two days after an attack from
yet another crazed fan.
This time, the star was grabbed by a maniac fan who desperately tried to drag the singer
away by her hair.
Of course, she did have security and the lunatic didn't get very far.
But still, it was an alarming incident.
Ally brushed off the assault and went on with the performance while the attacker was taken
away.
This probably wouldn't be newsworthy if it wasn't for what happened 48 hours prior.
Ally was moving through the airport in Monterrey when a different fan jumped on her back.
They nearly tore her shirt off trying to give her a bear hug from behind!
Poor girl!
She just wanted to make music and perform!

Foul Ball A fan was killed at Dodger Stadium by a foul
ball that flew over the first base side of home plate and cracked her in the head.
Sometimes, being a sports fan just doesn't pay off.
The victim was a 79-year-old mother of three and a grandmother of seven.
Her name was Linda Goldbloom, the third person in the history of United States baseball to
die from being hit by a foul ball.
And what's really crazy is that two out of three of those deaths occured at Dodger Stadium.
Linda had been a Dodgers fan for a very long time.
She was at this particular game in August of 2018 to celebrate her birthday and her
59th wedding anniversary.
According to the L.A. County Coroner's report, the cause of death was acute intracranial
hemorrhage from blunt force trauma.
The baseball hit her so hard in the head that her brain literally hemorrhaged.
It happened during the top of the ninth inning, when Franmil Reyes fouled a 93 mile per hour
pitch from Kenley Jansen.
Linda was sitting in section 103, row C, seat 5.
