India, June 13 -- Christopher Thomas stalked Samantha Stites for over a decade before kidnapping her in 2022. The two had met in 2011, when they were students at the Grand Valley State University in Michigan.

Stites described knowing Thomas in passing. She described in an ABC interview that they were part of the same student group but only conversed casually. As per Stites, Thomas had seemed a little awkward, so she decided to help by making small talk.

However, Thomas began to stalk her and eventually kidnapped Stites as well. Her harrowing experience comes to light in Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror, which returned to ABC's 20/20 on June 12, sparking fresh interest in the case.
