Today on LOTW Becky and Bevy discuss the case of Celeste Manno, Celeste was 23, when she was murdered in November 2020 after enduring a relentless stalking campaign. Despite police reports and a protection order, the stalker continued his harassment, ultimately breaking into her home and fatally attacking her. The responsible individual confessed and received a 36-year sentence, deemed insufficient by Celeste's family. Her mother, Aggie, now advocates for stronger anti-stalking laws, mandatory life sentences for murderers, and better victim protections.
