Today marks the third anniversary of the murder of Jodi Sanderholm. Jodi is terribly missed by her friends and family, but since her death two states (KS & NM) have changed stalking legislation in her name and countless stalking vicitms have been helped by Jodi’s Law and the awareness it has raised. The law came too late for Jodi, but it came in honor of Jodi!
