A Texas trucker killed a Seattle podcast host he had been stalking and her husband last night after climbing through a window of their $1.6million suburban home.
Police say he was a listener of the woman’s podcast, and became so obsessed with her that she filed a restraining order against him.
It remains unclear what type of podcast she hosted. At 2am last night, the trucker broke into the home in Redmond, Washington, shot her and shot her 35-year-old husband before turning his gun on himself.

The woman’s mother escaped and called 911.
It’s unclear whether he was in the area or if he drove from Texas to Washington to attack her. She had recently reported him to police.
At 2am on Friday, he broke into her home on a leafy street in Redmond, near Seattle, to shoot her and her 35-year-old husband with a handgun.
Redmond Police could not confirm whether the stalker had a criminal background, or whether he legally obtained his weapon.
Redmond is a suburb of Seattle, Washington
