She also sent topless selfies to the victim's mother TWISTED OBSESSION Stalker, 27, who modelled herself on murderous Hollywood film obsessive to torment male nurse & his girlfriend is jailed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN stalked a man she was infatuated with by modelling herself on a murderous film. Besotted Holly White, 27, created a Facebook account in the name of Hollywood actress Kathy Bates. 4 Holly White, 27, stalked a man she was infatuated with by modelling herself on a murderous film Credit: CAVENDISH PRESS 4 She then sent sinister messages to Daniel McCann and his girlfriend Eva Hegarty (right) Credit: CAVENDISH PRESS 4 Hollywood actress Kathy Bates (left) in the 1990 movie Misery Credit: Alamy She used it to send sinister messages to nursing assistant Daniel McCann and his trainee nurse girlfriend Eva Hegarty. Initially Mr McCann brushed off the posts but White then sent a string of letters to Ms Hegarty saying she hoped she would be raped and killed. One read: "Hope you can run because if I ever see you, you are dead. Good luck getting a fella if you ever break up with Daniel." She also sent topless selfies to Mr McCann's mother. The couple were so disturbed by the messages they moved away from their native Liverpool and are now living at a secret address. Police discovered White had become besotted with Mr McCann when she saw him working in Liverpool. She had been using the name Bates in a nod to the actress' Oscar winning role in the 1990 movie Misery. Bates stars as murderous former nurse Annie Wilkes who holds a best selling author captive at her home claiming to be his 'Number One Fan.' In a statement, Mr McCann said: "I am constantly stressed and paranoid about any contact from Holly to me, my partner, family or friends. ''Before all this I was not a person who got stressed about much but due to the impact on my family and my relationship, I now feel their stress as to well as my own stress that I feel about the constant contact from Holly. "I felt intimidated by her every day and she has made me and my partner feel unsafe in my own home due to our fear of what actions she could take. "The thought crosses my mind that I may bump into her as I know she lives close by. ''I stopped walking in the local area to avoid bumping into her. and eventually I had to move away from Liverpool, a city I was born and raised in and where all family and friends still live. "I felt the decision was not out of choice. Myself and my partner were forced into the decision for our own peace of mind and quality of life. "I do not know why she was obsessed with me. All I want is to live my life with my partner which she has stopped us doing." When quizzed by probation officers White asked whether they believed in ''love at first sight''. She also made false accusations against Mr McCann saying there had been ''numerous sexual interactions'' between them. At Sefton magistrates court White, from Liverpool, was jailed for 16 weeks. She admitted harassment and sending a communication threatening death or serious harm. White was also banned from contacting the couple for ten years under the terms of a restraining order.
