The names \u201cClaudia Rodriguez\u201d and \u201cDavid Rodriguez\u201d are fictional names used in the PRETEND podcast. Additionally, an update regarding the case has emerged since the initial reporting. Tanya and Rick Fernandez have been charged with harassment and computer tampering as a result of this series. Their trial is scheduled for September 5, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Doctor and Husband Cleared as Suspects in Stalking Case<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rick and Tanya Fernandez claim they&#8217;ve been the target of a cyberstalker for over three years. The stalker identified himself as their daughter&#8217;s doctor&#8217;s husband.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite their efforts to involve the police and find help, the stalking has continued. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In fact, the detective and postal inspector assigned to the case have even accused their oldest daughter of being the perpetrator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Victim Blaming<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recently, the Fernandez family received a voicemail from a detective working on their case. The detective stated that the doctor and her husband are the actual victims and that the threatening phone calls made by the cyberstalker were produced inside Fernandez&#8217;s home. The detective also mentioned that the investigation is ongoing and that doctor and her husband are not suspects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite this, the Fernandez family is convinced that the doctor&#8217;s husband is behind the stalking. Tanya Fernandez stated, &#8220;He scares me. He scares me, and they already think I&#8217;m the one doing it. And I feel I&#8217;m one step away from having the cops visit here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pretend Podcast host contacts the stalker<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the latest episode of the &#8220;Pretend&#8221; podcast, the tension between the doctor and the Fernandez family reaches a boiling point. The host even attempts to go toe-to-toe with the stalker to provoke a reaction and potentially reveal their identity. However, as the case continues, it becomes increasingly clear that this situation is complex, confusing, and far from over.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">BINGE ALL 10-EPISODES<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Patreon<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Listen to the first 10 episodes.
