Ricardo Lopez

Ricardo Lopez (January 14, 1975 - September 12, 1996) also known as the Bjork Stalker, was a Uruguayan-American exterminator from Florida who became increasingly obsessed with the singer Bjork over the course of 1996. He recorded his descent into madness with a series of video diaries. As his obsession intensified, his thoughts turned increasingly violent, destroying his life in the progress. Fueled by hatred, his violent thoughts grew worse with every passing day. In the final days of his life, he formulated a plan to kill her using a homemade acid bomb and take his own life so, he believed, they could be together in the afterlife. While Lopez succeeded in killing himself, his assassination attempt failed when authorities discovered his video diaries, foiling his plan.
