Every fraud begins with a promise, but most don't end in a murder. I think all murder cases are extremely
00:00:12
traumatic. But with this case, it it also goes beyond that. A quick fortune, easy money, or a life
00:00:20
torn apart. He was trying to get as much money as he could. Almost seemed like he wasn't
00:00:26
really even trying to hide what he had done that much. But behind these illusions lie
00:00:31
calculated deceptions carefully hidden in plain sight. Romance fraud is perpetrated on a victim
00:00:39
who thinks that the person is their partner, their lover. Sometimes these criminals are backed
00:00:47
into a corner and feel their only way out is to kill. We called it the dirty rotten scoundrel
00:00:53
case, like the Steve Martin film, except this was no comedy. This was a tragedy.
