Playboy covergirl Kourtney Reppert was involved in a terrifying encounter with an online stalker who threatened to bring down her private plane.
The US glamour model received vile death threats from an unknown assailant who went as far as finding the tail number of the plane she was set to travel in when threatening her life.
In an exclusive chat with Daily Star, Kourtney revealed that she was set to take a trip to a ski resort with some pals when the threats started.

“Our friend was going to host it, and ended up picking us up in his private plane. We flew in a private plane to Colorado, and the next day I started to get death threats with the tail number of the plane in the email, and the words, ‘I’m going to kill you’.”
Thankfully, the creep managed to get the entirely wrong number, as Kourtney’s real jet turned up late to the airport.
“We thought, ‘By the time it gets here, we’re not going to have time to take pictures’. So we asked another pilot who had a plane where we could take pictures,” she explained.
A terrified Kourtney confessed: “It was crazy. I was like, ‘Someone has been watching every move I make and is now threatening me’.”
Thankfully, one of Kourtney’s new friends – and future boyfriend – had links to the FBI in California, and managed to get them on the case.
“I went to the FBI headquarters, and they called me two weeks later and asked me to meet them in an hour.
“It was literally something out of a Men in Black movie – suit and ties, big black sunglasses. They flashed me their badges and looked through my computer, and we figured out the messages were coming from Chicago.”
Sadly, the messages were sent from a public computer, so there was no way to trace the IP address.
“For the next four months I went on to receive massive death threats,” Kourtney explained. “But I took everything down and made a big breakdown of the guy’s pattern and habits.
“Because I’m a single white female and social media was just gaining its momentum at the time, people didn’t know about online stalking. I was one in nine cases of internet stalking.”
Eventually, she was able to set a trap for her stalker which had him caught, arrested and denied bail.
And though Kourtney was left battling trauma from the incident, she’s “very grateful” for the help of the FBI.
