Summary

Happy Monday, Sleuthies! In this two part episode, Mackenzie and Hanna delve into a harrowing story that left them both shaken—and they’re pretty sure you’ll feel the same. January is Stalking Awareness Month, and today’s guest, Carrie, shares the terrifying reality of her experience with a dogfish who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

After meeting Jack on a dating app, what started as mild interest turned into a nightmare of manipulation, harassment, and stalking. Carrie’s raw, emotional journey reveals the lengths some people will go to exert control and the gaps in the legal system that fail to protect victims of stalking.

From unsettling red flags on a first date to technology hacks, home intrusions, and relentless harassment, this episode explores the chilling escalation of Jack’s behavior. Carrie’s story highlights the need for more awareness, education, and legal reform to protect stalking victims before it’s too late.
