The stalker was in love with the narrator. Narrator and Veronica was starting to get close. Stalker doesn't like competition.

Josh was still in the same area the stalker was and looked similar to the narrator. The stalker started turning Josh into the narrator for his own sick fantasy.

Miss Maggie was created, I think, just to sort of put the idea in the reader's mind that it could be some crazy old lady doing everything. You're acting like she needed to be something more. When you watch a movie, do you get mad because every character with more than 5 minutes screen time isn't a major part of the plot?

The narrator's mom was constantly calling the police when the weird stuff happened, and was telling the narrator to constantly check in with her or she was constantly checking in with him. She also probably felt a little safer after moving to the other side of town.

Josh said he thought he was sleepwalking, not that he was. As was brought up by someone in another comment, it was probably the stalker taking the kids and then leaving them in the woods for whatever reason.

Knowing any details about the character were irrelevent. It was about a kid, with a friend, being stalked.
