When gymnast Shawn Johnson appeared on “Dancing with the Stars,” a man named Robert O’Ryan was caught scaling a fence outside the studio where the show was filmed. He believed that Shawn had been communicating telepathically with him during the 2008 Olympics—that she loved him and wanted to have a child together. When police searched O’Ryan’s car, they found a shotgun, a hand gun, a knife, plus zip ties and other cords, which he presumably was planning to tie Shawn up with. He also had love letters he’d written to her, a pile of clippings about her, and a map to her home.
