The Dating Detectives

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.

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.

With every twist and turn, he becomes more entrenched in her life, crossing boundaries, planting seeds of doubt, and isolating her under the guise of protection.

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 [email protected] or contact us through our website using this linkThis episode of The Dating Detectives is sponsored by Paired.

In the final installment of this jaw-dropping two part episode we delve into the wild and heartbreaking story of a listener who thought she’d found her king only to discover he was the ultimate con artist. Kylie's husband, a world-champion Elvis impersonator, built a seemingly perfect life with her, only to shatter it with a double life involving countless affairs, deceit, stolen money, and more. From the tiki bar where they met to the shocking revelations that left her life in ruins, this story delves into the seedy underworld of the Elvis impersonator performance circuit. But this isn't just about one man’s betrayal—it's about resilience, uncovering the truth, and warning others about the dangers of "perfect" partners who hide their true selves.
