[suspenseful music] Welcome back to Post Mortem. I'm your host, 48 Hours correspondent, Ann Marie Green. And today we are discussing the case of Gloria Choi, who was shot in her car after being forced off the road by another vehicle in Lakewood, Washington. Now, Gloria alleged that her ex-boyfriend, Billy Rickman, was stalking and harassing her. And in a 48-hour period, two days before she was murdered, law enforcement was contacted four separate times about Rickman's escalating behavior, and Gloria's family believes the justice system failed her. So joining me today is 48 Hours correspondent Natalie Morales, who reported on this case. Natalie, it's good to speak with you again.

Good to be back with you, Ann Marie. And you know, I think Gloria Choi's story is sadly a cautionary tale. I think a lot of people can relate to, you know, falling in love with the wrong person sometimes, but from what we know, Gloria did everything she could once she realized this relationship was not good for her. She tried to end it, and she thought that the police and that the law would protect her. Unfortunately, as you know, that was not the case in this tragedy.

Yeah, but I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned here. Um, so we will get into this. I wanna remind everyone, if you haven't watched or listened to this episode, it's called The Love Bombing of Gloria Choi.
