More Information Surfacing on De Soto Woman's Killer

More information is surfacing about the man who police say stalked and gunned down a De Soto woman working in Florida. Documents indicate 61 year old Roger Troy followed Alissa lanton nearly everywhere before shooting her to death in the parking lot of her workplace earlier this week. Troy stalked Blanton for two years, beginning when she was a waitress at an Orlando Hooters restaurant. There are 64 pages of emials that tell the story of affection turning to obsession.

She tried to get a restraining order against him, but a judge denied the motion until a hearing could be held. Blanton wouldn't survive to see that hearing.

Blanton, 23 seemed to have everything going for her. Her friends tell us all of her dreams were falling in place. But those dreams were shattered after Alissa was shot and killed at her job in Orlando, Florida on Monday afternoon.


Now, her two best friends still cant believe she's gone.

"It's too hard to accept that someone could hurt someone like that in such a horrible, horrible, horrible, way," said Kayce DAlessandro about Alissas death.

Alissa was the former homecoming queen and cheerleading captain at De Soto High School. She graduated from De Soto High in 2005 and moved to Florida-marrying her high school sweetheart last August.

Kayce has known Alissa since they were both five years old.

"She was a complete and utter sweetheart. Her demeanor, she was very shy, but at the same time outgoing. She loved to dance, she loved to sing, she loved art,"said DAlessandro.

Alissa was returning from lunch when police say 61 year old Roger Troy opened fire. Investigators tell us he shot and killed Alissa, then killed himself. We're told Troy first met Blanton when she was a waitress and then wouldn't leave her alone.

Blanton had recently filed for an order of protection against Troy.

She turned in more than 70 pages of documents to a judge-many of them crazed e-mails Troy had sent her. Blanton wanted an immediate restraining order, but it was not granted.

Instead a judge set a hearing for next week.

Alissa's close friend Jennfier Smitt says there was never any kind of a relationship between the two and that Alissa had expressed concerns about Troy.

Smitt explained, She was kind of leery of him like he was just a normal person at first but then he became like too clingy and like always wanting to be there and like always making every attempt to find out where she was and what she was doing.

Now Jennifer and Kayce will support each other as they try and cope with Alissa's tragic death.

Everybody's going to need a lot of time to accept this and deal with it, said Kayce.

Alissa and her husband Brent-who graduated from Hillsboro High School- both worked at the AT&T building where the shooting happened. In fact, Brent can be heard on the 911 calls giving her CPR. Memorial services are being planned for Alissa in Florida and De Soto.
