Summary

The Stalker Saga Continues: Trial Back On for Tanya and Rick Fernandez Hey there, avid followers of the "Stalker" series! You might recall my last update, where I mentioned Tanya and Rick Fernandez may have taken a plea deal. Well.... There was a bit of a mix-up: while the State of Arizona court website had the trial marked as "vacated," a peek into the Maricopa Superior Court website told a different story. It turns out they have a new trial date set for February 27, 2024. So, what does this mean? Initially, I speculated that the couple might have struck a plea deal. It seemed like a plausible explanation at the time, considering the how their settlement conference ended. But, as it often turns out, the reality was a bit different. I'm here to set the record straight: the trial is very much back on! But wait, there's more. I had one more conversation with Tanya Fernandez and her oldest son. To say it was enlightening would be an understatement. The conversation added one more clue into revealing the identity of the stalker. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the trial date. This case has been a roller coaster of developments, and I'm committed to keeping you all in the loop with every twist and turn. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

0:08.0	I don't know, or maybe it's hard to decode these cryptic legal documents
0:18.0	posted on these judicial websites but a few weeks ago I reported to you that Tanya and Rick Fernandez may have settled
0:28.6	their case.
0:29.6	And the reason why I jumped to that conclusion was that the website that I've been following this entire
0:37.4	time that has all the posts and the documents from the trials and every proceeding that they have said that their
0:46.2	trial date was vacated.
0:48.6	And now typically when Tanya and Rick's defense attorneys push back the trial, it says vacated and reset, meaning
0:59.2	it's that date no longer is valid, but it's been reset to another date.
1:05.0	But this time it just said vacated.
1:08.0	Well, Olivia Fernandez, Rick's sister, who has been, by the way, you haven't heard much from Olivia, but she has been a pit bull when it comes to this case.
1:20.1	She is adamantly fighting for her grandson who was adopted by Tanya and Rick Fernandez.
1:27.0	Okay, so the family dynamics here are not so great.
1:32.0	They're not very chummy, let's just say.
1:35.0	Well, Olivia has been following this case very closely,
1:39.6	just like I have in a lot of you,
1:41.1	and she's been poking around the court websites.
1:43.7	Now she was looking at a different website that gave her different information.
1:48.6	Her website showed that there is an upcoming trial, but my website doesn't say anything about that. I'm following the Arizona
1:56.0	state website. So I called the courts to finally put this to rest. Did Tanya and Rick Fernandez settle? Did they take a plea deal? So I called
