This week the Dating Detectives welcome Dominique, whose “movie-perfect” meet-cute with a quiet coworker spirals into a chilling case study in coercive control. After love-bombing, and a whirlwind Halloween wedding, a dream Smoky Mountains honeymoon gives way to explosive rage, religiously justified domination, isolation from friends, terrifying reckless driving, stalking, and paranoid delusions. Dominique walks us through the pink flags she ignored, the gaslighting that made her second-guess reality, and the careful plan she used to reclaim her home after his arrest. Content warnings: domestic abuse, religious trauma, stalking, mental health crisis.

In this episode of Dating Detectives, Mollie steps in to co-host while Mackenzie is away, and together with Hanna she introduces Christie from Sydney, Australia, whose story exposes the dangers of manipulative partners targeting vulnerable parents. After her father’s marriage collapsed, Christie watched him fall into the clutches of Rose—a master manipulator who isolated him, drained his finances, and juggled multiple men in a web of deception that spanned years. Christie details how she and her sisters stepped in to protect their father, confront Rose, and uncover her secret double life involving other unsuspecting partners.

This week Stella shares one of our most chilling Dogfish tales yet; a whirlwind romance with a “demonologist” that starts with roses and love-bombing and spirals into coercive control, veiled threats, and a horrifying online violation. In the Dogfish Debrief, we break down how spiritual manipulation shows up in abusive dynamics and dig into the hard, practical realities of revenge porn—what steps survivors can take, where the laws still fail, and how community support can make all the difference.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

Whitney didn’t go looking for love. All she wanted was peace, but what she found was a slow-burn masterclass in love-bombing, disappearing acts, and financial manipulation that preyed on old wounds and present-day loneliness. As the red flags pile up (and the cash and car keys vanish), Whitney’s femmetuition starts connecting dots that lead to a jaw-dropping, headline-level reveal about who he really is.

What starts as a postpartum support system turns into a shocking betrayal involving romantic manipulation, medical ethics violations, and a devastating unraveling of Jade’s family. As Jade bravely shares her story, we explore the power dynamics between patients and doctors, the red flags of love bombing, and how postpartum vulnerability can be exploited.

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.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

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.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

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. Trigger warning: discussion of stalking, violence, attempted murder, and mental illness.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

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 abuseClick here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

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! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.

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.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page!If you've been dogfished and want to share your story on the show, email investigate@thedatingdetectivespodcast.com or contact us through our website using this linkTake control of your data today.

Sleuthies, buckle up because this one is a wild ride. If we didn’t fact-check these stories, we might not believe them ourselves—because what in the world did we just hear?!This week, we dive into a tangled web of deception so outrageous it left us completely jaw on the floor, speechless, and taking furious notes. It’s a story of secret marriages, mysterious pregnancies (that come and go), millions of dollars (or are there?), fake family drama, and one unsuspecting brother-in-law caught in the middle of a truly chaotic con.Our guest, Candace, thought she was gaining a sister-in-law, but what she actually got was a front-row seat to one of the most bizarre and twisted scams we’ve ever heard. And trust us, we've heard a lot. The manipulation, the lies, the way someone used her trauma against her, it’s next-level dogfishery.What was the endgame here? Who was scamming whom? And how did it all come crashing down? We’re breaking it down, analyzing the motives, and asking the big question: WHY?Trust your femmetuition—because if something feels off, it probably is.Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page!If you've been dogfished and want to share your story on the show, email investigate@thedatingdetectivespodcast.com or contact us through our website using this linkThis episode of The Dating Detectives is sponsored by Paired.

Mackenzie and Hanna talk to Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Amanda Beck about her own ghosting story, as well  as reading ghosting stories from listeners to try and understand why people ghost and why getting ghosted hurts so much! Amanda Beck is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the states of North and South Carolina. While I am a therapist, it's important to note this is not therapy and nothing shared today should be construed as a substitute for working with a qualified provider. Please check out the show notes for more on how to find a qualified therapist in your area and other resources for supporting your mental health. To find a therapist: Go to psychologytoday.com and use their filter system to name what matters most about your therapist. Amanda recommends choosing three therapists you're interested in and requesting a free 20-minute consultation to see if it's a good fit. Most therapists offer this. If finances are a hindrance, ask therapists if they have a sliding scale. For immediate mental health support: You can reach the National Alliance of Mental Health (NAMI) support line by calling 1-800-950-6264 or texting "helpline" to 62640. If you are experiencing a crisis, call or text 988.  To Connect With Amanda: If you reside in North or South Carolina and are interested in working with Amanda, you can learn more here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/amanda-beck-winston-salem-nc/826535 Join our Patreon! https://patreon.com/TheDatingDetectives?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Instagram & Tik Tok - @DatingDetectivesPodcast Facebook - The Dating Detectives Podcast Mackenzie's Socials - @Freedom_Barbie Hanna's Socials - @HannaAndergram ***The following Program contains names, places and events that have been anonymized or fictionalized for the purposes of protection and safety.
