About this episode

The episode explores an investigation into a potential con artist and the complexities of personal connections amidst troubling behaviors.

Sophie was already connected to Dragonfly from a Facebook group friendship. She recognised him from a PSA and offered to help us investigate whether he was conning Belinda, the woman he met on the ferry. But as the weeks go on, the signs start piling up. Pick-me logic. Excusing harmful behaviour. Blaming women. And then… flirting with Dragonfly??? What was meant to be surveillance becomes something far messier, and by the end of the episode we reach a critical conversation with Sophie. We don’t tell you what happens yet, because this one becomes an entire episode of its own. Trust no one. Especially not someone who insists they’re “just being fair” to an abuser. #truecrime #conartist #romancescam #storytime #whotfdidimarry #australia Disclaimer: The views shared in this podcast are our opinions and interpretations of events, not statements of fact.
