The Dating Detectives

Whitney didn’t go looking for love. All she wanted was peace, but what she found was a slow-burn masterclass in love-bombing, disappearing acts, and financial manipulation that preyed on old wounds and present-day loneliness. As the red flags pile up (and the cash and car keys vanish), Whitney’s femmetuition starts connecting dots that lead to a jaw-dropping, headline-level reveal about who he really is.

Layla returns, and she’s not alone. As our Porsche & Penthouse Scam saga, Layla connects with Allison, another target of the same smooth-talking Brit. Together they compare receipts, unravel overlapping lies and money games, and take the fight from group chats to law enforcement. Equal parts scam autopsy and friendship origin story, this episode proves that when women compare notes, Dogfish don’t swim for long. (Content Warning: financial abuse/manipulation.)

In this jaw-dropping episode of The Dating Detectives, we meet Jade, a 30-year-old single mom whose world was upended when her wife began an affair with someone no one ever expects. What starts as a postpartum support system turns into a shocking betrayal involving romantic manipulation, medical ethics violations, and a devastating unraveling of Jade’s family. As Jade bravely shares her story, we explore the power dynamics between patients and doctors, the red flags of love bombing, and how postpartum vulnerability can be exploited. This episode is a raw, emotional, and ultimately empowering look at what happens when the people you rely on most turn out to be the ones you need to heal from. Click here to join our Patreon!

In this episode of Dating Detectives, Mackenzie and Hanna are joined by Mackenzie's long-time friend and fellow private investigator, Brandy, for a jaw-dropping undercover story. What begins as a routine insurance surveillance case quickly unravels into something far messier, as Brandy tails a seemingly average family man who, while his wife is out of town, juggles not one, not two, but three different women, sometimes even on the same day.
