This young American singer-songwriter, just 22 years old, had a huge impact that continues to be felt today, extending beyond her music. She proved that anyone with a unique voice and basic equipment could build a successful career from home.
31-year-old William Applegate reportedly trespassed onto a neighbor’s property to get around the security fence surrounding a singer’s home. He then allegedly tried to open her front door and rang the doorbell. The singer described his actions as intentional, calculated, and frightening. After he tried to enter, security told him to leave, but he refused and stayed until the police arrested him. However, Applegate returned less than 24 hours later, leaving only after another confrontation with security. The next day, he parked in front of her house for hours, and police had to intervene to make him move.
