This week on the perfect scam.

He was arrested and held without mail for an entire year.

He still believed that he was going to walk away from this.

He had been convicted of felonies and given years and years of sentencing time

and he never spent more than a couple of months in jail.

So he really thought he was going to walk away from this.

Welcome back to the perfect scam. I'm your host Bob Sullivan. When we left our story,

Linda Diaz was hot on the trail of Derek Aldrin. He had used a set of fake identities to date and steal money from women all around the country for decades.

Linda is now obsessed with making sure Aldrin finally gets the justice he deserves. She's emptied all the

furniture from one room in her home just so she can post all the evidence she's

collected on the walls and so she can try to connect the dots.

Aldred stole all the money in Linda's retirement account,

left her and her son with a pile of debts

and nowhere to turn but to other victims.

So Linda is working with Missy Brad, who lives nearby in

Minnesota and was also dating Aldred at the same time he was living with

Linda and the two of them are working with Cindy Pardini who lives in

San Francisco and says Aldrich stole $200,000 from her years earlier.

Together they work to compile a list of women betrayed by Derek Aldred, and it keeps

growing and growing.

And if you had to come up with a number, I mean, have you tried to even hazard to guess how many women he did this to?

At least 400.
