Dawson

Dawson is Heather's boyfriend, living in the same apartment block as Katie Barcley and the Lively siblings. He becomes the first murder victim in The Stalker 2.

Background
Dawson shared an apartment with his girlfriend, Heather. He was a big fan of the horror film, Halloween, watching it over and over. He appeared to love Heather, but their relationship wasn't without its troubles - Dawson apparently didn't like it if Heather came home late and once hit her after getting drunk. As a result, he (perhaps unfairly) earned a reputation in his apartment block for being abusive.

The Stalker 2
Dawson is watching Halloween yet again, when Heather arrives home after being kept back by her boss. Dawson seems unfazed, making out with Heather until they are interrupted by the phone ringing. Whilst Heather is in the shower, someone knocks on the door; when Dawson answers it, however, no one is there. Turning around, Dawson is confronted by the Stalker (who had somehow managed to get into the apartment). The Stalker murders Dawson by, presumably, stabbing him in the torso, off-screen, and moves his body. The Stalker later moves Dawson's body again, propping it up in Dawson's armchair to be discovered by Heather. After the bodies are found, the police - and some of Dawson's neighbors - initially suspect that Dawson murdered Heather then committed suicide, due to his past violence towards her, but this is later disproven.
