Ricardo_López_(stalker)

Ricardo López (January 14, 1975 – September 12, 1996), also known as "the Björk stalker", was an American pest exterminator who attempted to murder the Icelandic singer Björk.
López was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and moved to Lawrenceville, Georgia with his family, where he began working as an exterminator. He had poor self-esteem, was socially reclusive, and eventually developed an obsession with Björk in 1993, though he did not hope to be sexually engaged with her; he was particularly angry over her brief relationship with the English musician Goldie due to the color of his skin. Over the course of nearly nine months in 1996, he made video diaries about her and other topics at his apartment in Hollywood, Florida.
On September 12, 1996, López mailed a letter bomb rigged with sulfuric acid to Björk's residence in London, then returned home, recorded a final video diary explaining his motivations, and ended it by filming his suicide by gunshot. Hollywood police found his body and the videos four days after his death; they contacted Scotland Yard, who located the bomb in a London postal sorting office. The parcel was safely detonated. Björk was unharmed.
