- Eva LaRue was stalked by a man who called himself Freddie Krueger for 12 years.

- The *CSI: Miami* star calls the stalker's actions "psychological terrorism" in the trailer for the documentary series *My Nightmare Stalker*.

- The stalker, James David Rogers, was eventually arrested in 2019 and was sentenced to 40 months in prison in 2022.

Eva LaRue is detailing a disturbing harassment campaign she endured for over a decade.

The *CSI: Miami *actress discusses being terrorized by a stalker using the moniker "Freddie Krueger" in the new documentary series *My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story*.

The trailer for the upcoming Paramount+ series begins with an excerpt from one of the stalker's threatening letters. "Dearest Eva: I think about you all the time," the excerpt says. "Once I f--- you and your daughter, then I will kill you both. I am coming for you. No one can stop me."

LaRue recalls the distress that her stalker's messages caused. "Those words and those threats were absolute psychological terrorism," she says. "My worst fear was that everything that he said in those letters could become a reality."

Later, the trailer reveals that the letters were all signed by "Freddie Krueger" or "Freddie" — an allusion to the fictional serial killer from the *Nightmare on Elm Street* horror franchise. (The character played by Robert Englund, however, spelled his first name "Freddy" with a "y.")

LaRue's daughter, Kaya, also appears in the trailer. "I remember her breaking down crying. At 12, that was devastating," she recalls. "He could be anywhere. That's what he was to me, was a shadow that I could never pinpoint."

The actress says that Freddie's harassment shook her confidence in her parenting skills. "Your one job as a parent is to keep your kids safe. That's it," she explains. "That's your fricking job. And I was feeling like I couldn't do my job."

LaRue later reveals that she obtained some lethal protection as the threats continued pouring in. "I had to take things into my own hands," she says. "I did start sleeping with a weapon under my bed. The threat was everywhere, all the time."

She continues, "You're not allowed to treat other human beings like this. You're not allowed to mentally terrorize someone."

The United States Attorney's Office announced that James David Rogers was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison in 2022 for stalking LaRue and her daughter. Rogers pleaded guilty in 2022 to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications, and two counts of stalking.

The USAO said that Rogers' stalking campaign spanned from 2007 until his arrest in 2019. In the first eight years, he sent approximately 37 threatening letters to LaRue.

The situation escalated in the fall of 2019, when Rogers called LaRue's daughter's school and claimed to be her father. He later left the school a voicemail (once again claiming to be Freddie Krueger) in which he threatened to "rape her, molest her, and kill her," according to the USAO.

During Rogers' sentencing, prosecutors wrote that LaRue and her daughter "moved numerous times in hopes that [Rogers] would not find them again," and said that they "drove circuitous routes home, slept with weapons nearby and had discussions about how to seek help quickly if [Rogers] found them and tried to harm them." Their efforts, however, were "to no avail," as "each time they moved, [Rogers'] letters — and the victims' terror — would always follow."

*My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story* premieres on Paramount+ on Nov. 13. Watch the full trailer above.
