"Dru Sjodin disappeared on Nov 22nd, 2003 from Grand Forks North Dakota.
Circumstances of Dru's Disappearance
Dru was last seen late Saturday afternoon, as she was leaving the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks where she worked. Her mother, Linda Walker, said her daughter was talking to her boyfriend in Minneapolis on her cell phone about 5 p.m. Saturday when he heard her say, "Oh, my God," before the phone went dead.
The boyfriend called Sjodin's roommate to ask about her after a second call about three hours later that lasted only about a minute, with no conversation. The roommate called police after Sjodin did not show up for her 9 p.m. shift as a waitress in a Grand Forks bar.
Police traced the second call from Sjodin's cell phone to the area near Fisher. Police said the cell phone signal put it within about five miles of the tower near Fisher from about 8 p.m. Saturday until the signal faded out 24 hours later."

Cell phones don't help much. I have to say there is not much in way of legal action that helps women that are being stalked by strangers or ex's. I have had more experiance than I ever wanted dealing with victiums of this type of thing working security on college campus, working in a mall bookstore (there was a regular DING that local LEO knew about was common occurance for him to stalk women that were total strangers).
Best thing I know that is "legal" is to get local LEO on your side whatever it takes so they take proactive measures. Problem is there is nothing you can do to make LEO help. And as Dru case proved to me there is nothing short of being armed, aware, and willing to kill that will stop women from being victums.
One slightly helpful suggestion, tell your GF not to be alone. A guy friend better deterrent than a girlfriend but two people are less likely (statistically) to be attack than one.
