Hey, guys, and welcome to the Moms a Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. How are you? Good. Second time trying to record this is a charm. We had a

fun delay there for a minute where neither of us really realized that it was a delay until about a minute

in. Yeah. That was okay, though. It was all right. So yeah, we're marching on. It's almost

4th of July weekend. By the time this comes out, of course, 4th of July will be over and that

will be old news, but we're recording it before the 4th of July and we're kind of getting

ready to have our weekend where we celebrate in the best way that we know how, which hopefully

involves eating a lot of really good food and hopefully water. Hopefully water. Hopefully water is involved in this

somehow. Yeah. My little guy's birthday is tomorrow. He's turning seven, which I'm so excited and

sad about. But his birthday, he wanted me to make cake pops of the solar system. And let me tell

There are different angles. It's a whole thing. This is going to be a disaster. So I'm excited. But yes, my weekend includes a lot of food because it's, you know, a birthday. It's celebrating a little guy's birthday. I'm just devastated and happy. But it'll be fun. I know. It's really hard to believe that he is going to be

seven already. It feels like he was just a little tiny guy in a baby carrier when I first met you,

and that's what it was. So yeah, it's crazy to think that our little guys are that old already.

I know. To be fair, my kids have never been little, but he was a giant baby falling out of a baby carrier when you met him.

But now he's just a giant seven-year-old.

Perfect, perfect.

So we'll get into the episode for this week.

This story is, I think this is one of the craziest stories I've ever heard just because the circumstances are so

different than anything we've ever heard of before. And it involves catfishing, which is always

really fascinating. I feel like a lot of people are really interested in that topic in general. So

we're going to get a little bit of that to satisfy your catfishing curiosity this week. So pretty much once the

internet was invented, it seemed like the concept of catfishing was born right away. And as I said,
