## Resource

In December 1991, 16‑year‑old Laurie Show was ambushed and killed in her bedroom in East Lampeter Township, Pennsylvania, after months of jealous harassment from 19‑year‑old Lisa Michelle Lambert, who believed Laurie was trying to take her boyfriend, Lawrence “Butch” Yunkin. Laurie’s mother briefly left home because of a fake call posing as a school official; when she returned, she found Laurie on the floor with her throat slashed and multiple stab wounds, and Laurie was able to whisper “Michelle did it” before she died. Investigators concluded Lambert and 17‑year‑old accomplice Tabitha Buck had used the ruse to get Hazel out of the condo, then attacked Laurie together, with Buck restraining her while Lambert carried out the stabbing, and that Yunkin helped set up the plot. Lambert was convicted of first‑degree murder and conspiracy and sentenced to life without parole; Buck, tried as a juvenile, received a life term for second‑degree murder but was later resentenced and eventually paroled, while Yunkin pled to a lesser charge and served a shorter sentence. Laurie’s mother went on to fight for anti‑stalking legislation, and Pennsylvania’s first stalking law, often called “Laurie’s Law”, was passed in direct response to her daughter’s case.
