Alissa Blanton
A stalking case and an unsuccessful request for protection
Alissa Blanton, 23, was killed outside her Orange County workplace in February 2010. Roger Troy, a man she had met while working at Hooters, shot her and then himself. Days earlier, Blanton had asked a court for an emergency protective order; it was declined on the information presented. Reporting examines the warning signs and her family’s subsequent calls for stalking awareness. Her case is a major thread in The Hooters Murders: Deadly Shift.
