Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of physical violence and assault, stalking and harassment, arson, threatening letters, abortion, drug use, and a graphic murder. We will give a warning before the murder details so you can skip through that section if you would prefer! Gear up for a harrowing ride with this week’s Dating Detectives as we sit down with Megan to unravel an almost unbelievable tale of deceit, danger, and survival. Megan thought she’d found the perfect guy, only to discover Randy lied about everything from his name and age to his criminal past. Megan’s life unravels: she ends the relationship while pregnant, survives a brutal push that leaves her injured, watches her home and cars set aflame, and endures relentless stalking and threatening letters. Years later, she learns that her experience with Randy could have ended far far worse. Throughout, we explore the ethical responsibilities of true-crime storytelling, the perfect-victim myth, the chilling power of “dogfish” deception, and why trusting your “femmetuition” can be the difference between life and death.

This week Mackenzie and Hanna invite the first PI guest on the show to share one of their own stories! The first PI guest is Austin, a nine-year veteran whose toolkit spans family-law digs, criminal-defense surveillance, insurance-fraud exposés and cutting-edge open-source sleuthing. He pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to trail a suspect—long hours in a lobby, split-second decisions on whether to dash inside or stay hidden, and even the pros and cons of facial-recognition software like PIMeyes. You’ll get Austin’s top safety hacks for vetting dates (free and low-cost background-check resources you can use tonight) and discover why a seemingly innocent Memorial Day beach trip ended with an all-too-public, trunk-wide rendezvous in a cherry-red Porsche.

In this episode, we welcome new listeners and dive straight into a raw, harrowing story from our guest, Harper. Harper was an art student who thought she’d met a charming guy in class, but her gut was screaming “run” long before things turned violent. Over the course of college, what began as a harmless connection with “Charlie” slowly morphed into stalking, unwanted advances, and a relentless series of red flags that left Harper feeling panicked. We sit down with her as she recounts that moment when her intuition saved her life, and how the man she once thought she could trust ended up being a murderer.

This week on The Dating Detectives, we meet Sandra, an accomplished counselor whose relationship began with friendship, trust, and late-night heart-to-hearts during the pandemic. But what started as a slow-burn romance with a charming EMT quickly spiraled into a web of lies, emotional manipulation, financial devastation, and ultimately, physical violence. In Part 2 of this two-part series, Sandra bravely walks us through the gradual erosion of reality that left her questioning everything, including her own sanity. It’s a textbook case of how abusers groom, isolate, and control, layer by layer, and a powerful reminder that trusting your instincts isn’t just important, it can be life-saving. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes descriptions of emotional, financial, and physical abuse Click here to join our Patreon!

Mackenzie takes us back nearly twenty years to one of her very first PI cases: a bitter ex‑wife who escalates tire‑slashing and car‐keying into a downright surreal bologna‑vandalism spree—plastering her rival’s vehicle with Oscar Mayer slices in full daylight—and, most shockingly, snorting cocaine off her child’s Lisa Frank lunchbox in an elementary school parking lot. Through careful, real‑time surveillance and crystal‑clear video evidence, Mackenzie helps secure drug charges and an emergency custody injunction, protecting the kids and teaching her the hard‑won balance between caution and guts in the field. It’s a jaw‑dropping, true‑crime palette‑cleanser that proves: when it comes to family drama, you never know just how wild things can get. Click here to join our Patreon!

On this week’s Dating Detectives Monday, we welcome back matrimonial attorney Leslie Barbara, and her client Allison, who share one of the most jaw‑dropping “Dogfish” scams we’ve ever seen. Allison thought she’d met a charming Scottish real‑estate developer on Hinge, only to be drawn into a web of hotel double‑charges, “escrowed” millions, vanished luggage (and credit cards), even a suspicious bout of illness, all while he convinced everyone from gym staff to Porsche dealers that he was the real deal. Together, Leslie and Allison dissect the red flags, legal pitfalls (power of attorney, anyone?), and the surprising AI sleuthing that finally unmasked him. Tune in for hard‑won lessons on spotting, stopping, and surviving romance scams—and why locking your credit (and trusting your fem‑tuition) could make all the difference.
