In a gripping installment of Sheepdog & Shepherd, former NYPD detective turned author Vincent “Vinny” Davis delivers a striking personal account in his video titled The Cop and the Stalker, released just last week. It’s not just a tale of crime but a journey of faith, betrayal, and redemption.
Davis, a veteran of the perilous Bronx plainclothes unit, rose to prominence earning honors and handling some of New York’s toughest criminals during the ‘80s and ‘90s. The conversation centers on Davis’s confrontation with a notorious stalker this same antagonist who would later become central in the real-life drama Davis chronicles in his hit memoir, The Cop and the Stalker: Based on a True Story and Actual Events.
Davis opens up about moral ambiguity in law enforcement, admitting mistakes and ethical crossroads. He credits faith and a higher power for guiding him through darkness, what he references as the ‘miraculous journey of faith and redemption’. Part testimonial, part sermon, the visit with Davis balances gritty crime stories with spiritual introspection showing the search for purpose beyond the badge.
Davis’s 2020 memoir dives much deeper, tracking his teenage romance-turned-nightmare, a relentless stalker who threatened his life, career, and marriage. He also unveils shocking details of undercover mob stings and the fallout that upended his policing life. Davis recounts discovering unsettling threats toward his then-fiancée—leading to a dangerous obsession with the stalker. He also recounts federal operations involving the Lucchese crime family and an informant serving as the unexpected catalyst.
In true fashion to this series, this is not a polished media interview, it’s a man wrestling in real time with guilt, redemption, and spiritual clarity. Rarely do veteran officers openly attribute career-saving catalysts to divine purpose, and Davis does with no filter.
Vincent Davis’s story is, ultimately, an exploration of fallibility and faith. The video is more than a crime account, it’s a chapter in a lifelong narrative of confronting demons, finding grace, and transforming trauma into testimony.
If you're drawn to truecrime with an edge of soul-searching, whether for the gritty NYPD intrigue or for spiritual honesty, this episode is a must-watch, complemented profoundly by Davis’ written work.
The Cop and the Stalker video turns a true-crime tale into a spiritual journey offering both gripping drama and an intimate look at a man who lost much, found more, and chose to tell his truth out loud.
