![]() Once out of jail (actually while he was still in jail as well), he continued to pursue Linda, and Linda, feeling that no one would ever love her with her disability, decided to be with Burt afterall. ![]() Burt was sent to prison, where he used his attorney skills to get several murderers and rapists out of jail on technicalities (by his own admission) before his eventual parole. This, unfortunately, succeeded, and Linda wound up being blinded (at first partially, and then later, fully). Then, he hired some goons to throw acid in her face, so that "no man would ever want her". At first, he was going to shoot them both, but got cold feet. She moved on and got engaged to someone else. But Burt was a married man, and when Linda found out, she wanted nothing more to do with him. When he met the young and beautiful Linda, he became obsessed, insisting to his friends that he "had to have her" (note the possessive quality of his desire, rather than having to "meet her" he had to "have her" or own her). In the late 1950s, Burt was a wealthy lawyer with his own private jet, and an egotistical personality (he was deeply insecure about his nerdish appearance, and used sex as a means of boosting his self-worth). Crazy Love is a documentary that recounts the story of Linda Riss and her psychotic stalker, Burt Pugach. ![]()
