Hey, y'all, what up though? It's Kila your cocktail Ballerina, and
welcome back today's story. We're gonnatalk about stalking and what to do to
protect yourself. You ever felt likeyou being watched by someone? I know
(00:51):
I've been, not like a ghostor something like that, but like someone
is outside of your apartment and theyare looking in on you, following you,
stalking you. You probably get upto close the blinds and double check
your doors and see if they're locked, but you're like, okay, I
just feel creeped out. Well.In October of twenty twenty one, twenty
(01:15):
two year old Abigail Saldonia decided tocheck under her car and found someone had
placed a tracking device on it.Can't you believe that a tracking device under
your car? So, Abigail,being a smart girl, that she was
posted it to social media, tellingall her followers and friends. And you
(01:37):
know, she was a dancer,so I'm pretty sure she had plenty of
those to go out check their owncars, check under their cars, and
to stay safe. But she wasn'tsure what to do next with all this
information, so her mom urged herto tell the cops. Then there we
go. On October twenty six,police responded to a car crash on fort
(02:02):
Worth's Highway one eighty three. Theysaw the driver and they recognized it was
Abigail. When they looked inside,they noticed she died from gunshots. What
looked like to be on her rightarm and on her back. In her
car were the clothes the police recognizeas belonging to a stripper. So she
(02:23):
probably had like her suitcase with hershoes and her outfits, maybe her makeup
caboodle, some hair products. Andsure enough, a joint called ricks Cabaret
was right by the accident. Themanager confirmed Abigail had worked there, and
it was a customer calling himself standof course, dear stand, he had
(02:46):
been harassing her. Stan was themilitary type, hardened face, shorter hair.
It's so funny because back in theday, if you had a stalker
in the club, we would callhim stand. So it was you know,
if anybody knows actual matters Eminem.That was the reference Stan posted online
about his plans to report Abigail forprostitution. And it doesn't take a genius
(03:08):
to pare the threats with the tracker. He's military, of course. Plus
in today's day and age, you'realways on camera. You know, whether
it's a traffic light, you geta ticket, or you walk into seven
to eleven. So the police theywere able to use this tracking devices and
(03:28):
cameras around the neighborhood to see whatStan was doing. And then they found
out Stan, who drove a Fordf one fifty, was parked near Abigail's
apartment at least five times, andwith one of them being less than an
hour before she was murdered, Sohe was there. Now. We got
other pictures showing that Abigail's car wasdriving through intersection, then Stan's car or
(03:52):
his Ford f one fifty following secondsafter right behind her. Seventeen minutes later
Today passed through this intersection. Somebodycalled nine one one and reported that Abigail
had driven off the road. Stanagreed to meet with the cops, but
failed to show up, so aswat team was sent in. News articles
(04:15):
about this story stopped around the middleof November twenty twenty one, which was
only a month later. I'd assumeStan has been arrested, but you never
know. He's military. We don'tknow how these cops are. But the
investigation or any trial is still ongoing. Y'all. Let me know what y'all
think about that. So, beingan exotic dancer, a former exotic dancer.
(04:43):
When I first started this was backin two thousand and three, I
noticed someone was following me every nightfrom the club. How did I know
this? I lived kind of midtowndowntown Detroit, but I drove from a
club I worked at in Dearborn.It took about twenty to thirty minutes with
no traffic to get home, dependingon what route. I started noticing every
(05:05):
time I was pulling up to myblock. Now I stayed in an apartment
building and we had a parking garagein the back, and thank God for
that, because if I had toget out of the car parked on the
street, I don't know what wouldhave happened. I noticed every night for
two weeks in a row when Igot off of work. This silver I
(05:29):
don't know if it was a Hondad, what kind of car. It was
a two door car. I wouldnotice it outside and it would be this
familiar face sitting in the driver's seat. So I put two and two together
and I'm like, Oh, that'sthe guy from the club I worked at.
Now, what's weird is when Iworked in a club, I would
show up. I would talk tohim sometimes, but he never got dances.
(05:54):
He never tipped the girls. Hewould buy a bottle of water and
he would leave, or sometimes hewould sit for hours and just stare.
So we were always like, oh, that's the creeper dude. Comes to
find out he was known for stalkinggirls, and there was a case out
on him that he sexually harassed agirl outside of her house. I don't
(06:17):
know what happened to this guy.He went missing. I don't know if
he ran into the wrong girl andsomething bad happened to him. But all
I know is how to protect yourself. It's ladies, if you're out there
in the streets, and you don'teven have to be an exotic dancer.
You could be a bartender or acocktail waitress. You could just work in
corporate, you could work at abank. Ladies. None days. You
(06:40):
have to carry some type of taserblade gun. I don't care what it
is. It has to be someform of protection. Even if you have
brothers, even if you have familymembers, friends that could protect you,
you have to carry something on youat all times, especially working environment like
(07:00):
a strip club. I can identifywhere Abigail was going through. And also
the failing of why didn't the policecheck in more with this guy? Like
understand, some cops are former militarythemselves, so it's kind of a brotherhood
going on. But what's messed upabout this case is no one really checked
(07:21):
up on Abigail or followed up withStan if that's his name, and the
fact that we haven't heard anything aboutthis. Has the case been solved,
y'all? Let me know how y'allfeel. Well, it is what it
is. Thank y'all for tuning into the Cocktail Ballerina and I'll see y'all
