Stalkers and their victims, by definition, don’t typically have cordial relationships.
But what if the stalker is maintaining a close relationship with their victim’s mother?
Rinaldi told theHuffington Postthat his infatuation with “The Blue Lagoon” actor began in childhood.
Eventually, he disclosed his experience in his letters to Shields.
“She was a woman with dementia and alcoholism,” Shields said on the stand, perPage Six.
“She gathered people.
She wanted to be a savior for everyone.”
The actor’s toxic relationship with her mother was just one of manytragic details of Brooke’s life.
Terri died in 2012, years before Rinaldi would be convicted of stalking her only daughter.
Rinaldi was arrested one week after Shields filed an official complaint with the 6th Precinct in Greenwich Village.
