The guy who was responsible for her death naming Bardo used to write letters to her for about 2 years but the content never arouses suspicion as they were just typical fan letters which have been stated by Det. Dan Andrews stated the letters contained a description of himself, some questions about acting, and some questions about her. He also contacted her agent at the time and he stated he asked similar questions to him too, there was nothing suspicious about the conversation.
Marcia Clark reflects on prosecuting Rebecca Schaeffer's murder case: "I didn't know what more to say, other than I'm going to fight so hard to bring her killer to justice."

Even the actress thought the letters are pretty sweet but before the murder of the actor, the letter which Bardo wrote, the letter had more of an ominous tone to it which was reported by the Times. Marcia Clark who was the Attorney at the County District at the time stated a line from the letter which made the doubts of many pretty clear, she stated the lines, “I have an obsession with the unattainable and he has this need to eliminate which he cant attain”, it was stated in the letter which is just absurd and crazy.

Bardo was unable to buy a gun so he asked his brother to buy it from him as he had a history of mental illness, his brother brought him the gun with the condition, they are only going to use it together for target practice and it has been stated Bardo even gave $300 to an investigation to find out about her location.
