In February 2007, in Fircrest, Washington, 16-year-old Courtney Kuykendall’s phone started sending out random text messages to her friends. Things got weird when someone started calling the members of the Kuykendall family. The caller threatened to kill them, kill their pets, and kill their grandparents. The Kuykendalls contacted the police, and the calls were traced back to Courtney’s phone. Of course, the obvious suspect was Courtney. The problem was that the calls continued even when Courtney’s phone was turned off or when her parents had taken it away from her.Things only got creepier from there. Whoever was calling described things the Kuykendall family were doing or what they were wearing. The stalker left voice mails that were recordings of conversations they had, even the one when the police had visited to talk about the calls. This continued for over four months, and no suspect was ever found. The cell phone company didn’t think the technology to hijack a phone existed at the time. However, security experts said a phone could have been hijacked using spyware. The police thought that the family could have been making the story up, but two other families in the town also reported similar problems with their cell phones.
