Jill Dando

Jill Dando, the well known and loved television presenter Jill Dando was murdered on her own doorstep. "Jill became known as the 'Golden Gorl of Television' due to her blonde hair and good looks." (Press 147) She presented news and was popular among both men and women. Many men were attracted by her good looks while women respected her for her achievements, grace, and beauty. After her death on April 26, 1999, the murderer and the cause for the murder were not found. One of the theories was that an obsessive fan killed her. This leads me to my connection with that of a mind of a killer. Clearly, Jill Dando was an easy target since she was beautfiul, recently engaged, in the eye of the public, and desirable in every sense. Being that, it was simple for her to be the target of an over obsessive fan or person who could not deal with her engagement; in general commitment to another. Obession over something or someone like in many of the previous blogs i have posted have lead to an extreme action. Such as in "A Tale of Two Sisters", Leone had become completely obsessed with Emile, and after neglecting her she had been driven to the extreme and killed him. I see a similar pattern in the case of Jill Dando and the case of "A Tale of Two Sisters" where obsession got the best of a person and resulted in murder.
