Conan O'Brien's Stalker Also A Faye Dunaway And Paul Simon Fan - Page 2
He vowed, "I will abide by the restraining order 100%."
Faye and Paul had better shell out some dough for some extra bodyguards, because this guy didn't just mail some letters. These were rather strange, sometimes threatening letters, from someone who obviously needs professional help. This man has apparently been stalking Conan since they were in college at Harvard. TMZ has the arrest warrant, part of which states the priest wrote:
[To Conan] I'M NOT SEUNG-CHO, EVEN IF I DID ONCE LOOK OUT ON THAT DARK AND DREADED DOORWAY ON WEST 72ND STREET. AND REMEMBER, FRANK COSTELLO ONCE DODGED A BULLET IN YOUR BUILDING AND SO CAN YOU... [...][Another to Conan] I PAID $250 TO FLY DOWN TO NYC YESTERDAY JUST TO HAVE A SPOT IN THE AUDIENCE, IN THE DIMMING HOPE THAT YOU MIGHT FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE ME...I'M TOLD BY SOME OF THOSE OFFICIOUS LITTLE USHER PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE OVERBOOKED AND TO GET THE *** OFF THE PREMISES!!! IS THIS THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR MOST DANGEROUS FANS???...YOU OWE ME BIG TIME PAL. I WANT A PUBLIC CONFESSION BEFORE I EVEN CONSIDER GIVING YOU ABSOLUTION. OR ELSE A SPOT ON Y OUR COUCH. [...]
[Part of a letter written to the security manager of NBC Universal]Â TO CALL MYSELF A SORT OF RUPERT PUPKIN (REMEMBER DeNIRO HERE) IS PERHAPS NOT FAR OFF THE MARK. BUT-I ASSURE YOU-A STALKER OF A VERY DIFFERENT ORDER THAN THE KIND YOU ARE USED TO DEALING WITH...I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE TIES I HAVE TO CONAN THROUGH HIS PARENTS AND HOMETOWN CHURCH, HIS ALMA MATER, AND EVEN HIS VERY HOME MEAN NOTHING IN A WORLD LIKE OURS...
"Rupert Pupkin" is the character played by Robert DeNiro in the movie The King Of Comedy, in which his character kidnaps a late-night talk show host played by Jerry Lewis, and Seung-Hui Cho was the student who went on a killing rampage at Virginia Tech.
After giving a rather rambling "interview" to reporters in Boston, the priest's father came by and steered him back home, only for the priest to leave and be missing for several hours. He later voluntarily checked himself into a hospital for an evaluation.  It was said that he has struggled with mental illness for years and has been on medication. It was revealed he had been off his meds for seven days, but it was unclear if that was at the time of arrest or at the time of bail, which was November 9. His father paid his bail of $2500, even though he later said when his son disappeared (in which time he attempted to gain entrance into a television station, among other things) that he could be homicidal or suicidal. He apparently also went by the screen name "Padre 009" on a Conan fan board run by NBC, and it is said that he went so far as to follow Conan to Italy.
