Who is Rebecca Garcia?

According to Spanish media reports, 33-year-old Rebecca Garcia was arrested after several women broke her silence by sharing their chats and emails claiming they were victims of harassment and stalking. Rebecca Garcia reportedly became obsessed with multiple women and contacted them repeatedly in a case somewhat similar to the Netflix series Baby Reindeer. As a result, Rebecca Garcia and her brother Francisco were arrested at a supermarket in Madrid on Monday. However, Rebecca Garcia’s video is going viral this week.

Rebecca Garcia’s stalking came to the fore following the release of Baby Reindeer. After seeing Baby Reindeer, several women in Venezuela’s capital Caracas shared details of their own traumatic experiences.

According to the women who came forward, Rebecca Garcia became so obsessed with some women that she followed them everywhere, contacted them repeatedly and behaved toward them in bizarre and threatening ways. A British media portal quoted one of Garcia’s alleged victims, Claudia Aguirrezabal. Claudia Aguirrezabal said Garcia wrote a disturbingly sexually explicit 500-page book. Claudia Aguirrezabal further claimed that Garcia broke into her home and sent her a message that read, “The killer is in the house.”

Claudia further revealed that Garcia slid into her DMs and once threatened to kill her friends. Garcia allegedly wrote her: “If anyone touches you, I am going to kill him or her because that is disrespectful to us and our relationship.”

Caudia and Garcia reportedly attended the same school, but both were five years younger and older. That’s why Claudia said she never knew Garcia during her school days. Claudia stated that she contacted the Spanish police, but they took no action against Garcia because she was a woman and also because of her apparent mental illness. Several women in Caracas have reportedly been complaining about Rebecca García since 2019.
