How far would one woman go after losing her dream home in a bidding war to another couple? Kathy Rowe of San Diego says she was so devastated, she turned to what she claims were pranks on the new home owners, Janice Ruhter and Jerry Rice -- from re-listing the house for sale online and even advertising for a fake New Year's Eve party at the house. Yet, she was sentenced for stalking the young married couple. Rowe speaks exclusively to ABC News' Chris Connelly about why she did it. The home's owners also talk to ABC about their unfortunate ordeal. "20/20" airs on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
