| Stalker Hides Under Woman's Bed for Two Days |
| 2006-06-23 |
| A stalker hid under a woman's bed for two days -- just for the chance to be alone with her. The disturbing video shows the convicted stalker carefully hiding his video camera on a desk in the victim's bedroom. When he hears the woman and her boyfriend come in the apartment, he disappears under her bed. Carlo Castellanos-Feria remained there for two days until he was discovered by the victim's boyfriend. The nightmare started at Holy Cross Hospital where the victim met her stalker who was working as a parking valet. In court, the victim told the judge that the discovery of the valet in her bedroom was in her words -- a horrible experience. "Her life is dramatically changed. She is fearful when she hears strange noises she doesn't know where they are coming from. Her husband, who was her boyfriend at the time of the incident, now has to be careful not to approach her from behind because it just startles her," said Keri Barta, prosecutor. Moments before he was sentenced, Castellanos-Feria apologized: "I fell madly in love and that blinded my judgment. I beg your forgiveness." Court documents show the Hyattsville man had a change of clothes, condoms, a power cord and latex gloves with him under victims bed at the time of his arrest. He was a parking valet with an unnerving obsession. "He got access to her keys. He then took that opportunity to get those keys copied. That's something we should all think about next time we leave our keys somewhere," said Ken wainstein, U.S. attorney. When investigators searched Carlo Castellanos-Feria's home, they found vacation photos of his victim and a wedding video. Investigators later determined the items were stolen from her ex-husband's home. |

| #11 Let this be a lesson to all of you about keychains. I have a snap-release system that allows me to separate only my car's door and ignition key from all of the rest. If my mechanic or a valet needs to drive my car, they get those two keys and nothing else. Even the trunk key is separated. The snap costs a buck and change, the security it brings is priceless. |

| #10 Condoms to rape her and "not leave dna", a cord to strangle her and gloves to "not leave prints". This nut is more than a "stalker" and she's lucky to be alive. Yes, sentencing is not given here (am I missing something?), but this really raises alarm here, I hope he was not judged as a "simple" stalker, but as a sex predator. |

| #8 Angie join a rod and gun club... Now how's a fishing rod gonna help? Just kidding. Guns don't piddle all over the landscape like dogs do, either. I'll be sure to get the rods, guns, motion sensors, and laser beams just as soon as I become a millionaire. ..especially if you insist on parading around exposing those nakid ear lobes! You know, if I had pierced ears I could cover my lobes with a protective layer of diamonds. |

| #3 Pet alligator or boa might work. This was a dedicated stalker--must have too much free time on his hands. Was he an illegal alien? |

| #1 Oh, great. This is the sort of thing I have nightmares about. I keep the space under the bed stuffed with junk, just as a precaution. Under the couch, too. Same thing for the closets: fully loaded. The medicine cabinet's not full, but I feel fairly confident of being able to handle any stalker small enough to hide in there. |
