Despite having her statements in the police report, the host, Javier Leiva, calls her to get her side of the story. To everyone&#8217;s surprise, she picked up the phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Podcaster confronts the stalker<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But that&#8217;s not all. In an effort to get to the bottom of this case, Javier also confronts the alleged stalker himself. It&#8217;s a bold move that could potentially reveal the true identity of the person behind the threatening messages that have terrorized the Rodriguez family for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What does Dr. Gressman say about the allegations against her and her husband?
