Erin Andrews Gets Death Threats

Erin Andrews Gets Death Threats

What makes people do creepy things? TMZ reports that Erin Andrews, the  ESPN sportscaster and contestant on  "'Dancing with the Stars,"  is the target of death threats, which are being investigated by the FBI.  Last year, (2009), she was harassed by the stalker, Michael David Barrett, who  before he was arrested and plead guilty to stalking charges, and sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, .tried to sell to gossip sites a nude video of  Ms.Andrews that he videoed her through a peephole in several hotel rooms.

The death threats came in the form of emails. TMZ reports that the emails were sent from a man in Newport News, VA. -- all were direct threats against Ms. Andrews' life.  In one, the man wrote, "Somebody should shoot her in the face". In a second email  he wrote, "I'm one in a million. She'll never see me coming.."

Ms. Andrews lawyer told TMZ that the  FBI is on the case.. "Erin and her family are protected. It is unfortunate that there are sick people who prey on the fears and threaten the well being of others. Erin is not alone among those who have to deal with such predators."

Again, I ask: What makes people do creepy things?
