Paroled stalker continues contact with ex wife
Robbie Longnecker, recently released from River Correctional Center for stalking his ex wife, sent a letter to Anne Longnecker postmarked May 23 detailing his love and desire to see their three children. She says parole prohibits contact, and investigators and prosecutors consider the letter a violation though Georgia parole terms remain undisclosed. Park Forest police have escorted Anne for protection, but fear the suspect may return.
