Stalking Samantha: OTT Release In India

A shocking true-crime story is coming to Indian OTT screens. The three-part documentary series Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror will release on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) on August 19, 2025.

The series tells the disturbing story of Samantha Stites, a woman from Michigan, who was stalked for more than a decade by Christopher Thomas. What began in 2011 as a college acquaintance soon turned into a nightmare that lasted 13 years.

From stalking to survival

Christopher followed Samantha everywhere—supermarkets, restaurants, sports events, even near her home. His behavior grew more dangerous over time, spreading fear among Samantha’s friends and investigators.

Things took a terrifying turn in 2022 when Christopher kidnapped Samantha, locking her in a bunker built inside a storage unit. She was trapped for days, but her courage and will to live helped her survive.

Real story, real voices

The documentary uses police files, bunker footage, and photos from Christopher’s phone to show how the crime unfolded. For the first time, Samantha herself shares her side of the story—her struggles, survival, and strength.

Friends, family, and investigators also share how they helped bring Christopher to justice, making this a complete look into one of the most chilling stalking cases in recent years.

Release date

Stalking Samantha: 13 Years of Terror will stream on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) in India from August 19, 2025. This spine-chilling series is not just about crime—it’s about a woman’s courage to fight back.
