Bryan thought he was starting fresh when he moved to Hawaii during the pandemic and met someone on a dating app. Instead, his brief romance spiraled into a years-long nightmare. Her soon-to-be ex-husband wasn’t just lurking in the background—he was stalking them, bugging her phone, planting hidden cameras, and, according to the FBI, plotting to frame Bryan himself. As a cybersecurity expert, Bryan was ironically the one law enforcement suspected first. But after a federal investigation, the truth came out—the real stalker was exposed and sentenced to nearly eight years in prison. Now, Bryan reveals how he survived the emotional fallout, the toll it took on his relationships, and the red flags he wishes he hadn’t ignored.
