Brian Hile was smitten. He\u2019d never had much luck with the ladies, but at 28, his dream had come true. He\u2019d found a smokin\u2019 hot girlfriend. She had long blond hair, piercing eyes, and she loved to send him sexy pictures. But after two years of dating, Brian discovered that he\u2019d been catfished. He\u2019d never been talking to a woman. He\u2019d been talking and sending pictures to a man in South Africa. Brian wanted revenge, but South Africa was too far away. So he went after Tiffany Watkins, the completely innocent woman from the photos.\n
\n\nThen Brandi tells us about Kristine Young, who became deeply concerned when she couldn\u2019t get ahold of her adult daughter, Ashley Young. That concern grew when she realized that her daughter had recently visited an old friend, Jared Chance. Kristine had always had a bad feeling about Jared. She\u2019d been right to feel that way.\xa0\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
