The Murder of Tatiana Tarasoff Part 1

True Crime Creepers

Tatiana Tarasoff's tragic story would be remembered more for the legal decisions that arose because of her murder - namely that in many states in the United States, therapists now have a duty to warn potential victims if their clients have threatened them. But her story is incredibly complex, and in part 1 we get to know Tatiana, a college student in Berkeley, California, who would cross paths with Prosenjit Poddar, a graduate student from India who would quickly become deeply obsessed with her.
