This week Mackenzie and Hanna invite the first PI guest on the show to share one of their own stories! The first PI guest is Austin, a nine-year veteran whose toolkit spans family-law digs, criminal-defense surveillance, insurance-fraud exposés and cutting-edge open-source sleuthing. He pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to trail a suspect—long hours in a lobby, split-second decisions on whether to dash inside or stay hidden, and even the pros and cons of facial-recognition software like PIMeyes. You’ll get Austin’s top safety hacks for vetting dates (free and low-cost background-check resources you can use tonight) and discover why a seemingly innocent Memorial Day beach trip ended with an all-too-public, trunk-wide rendezvous in a cherry-red Porsche.

In this episode, we welcome new listeners and dive straight into a raw, harrowing story from our guest, Harper. Harper was an art student who thought she’d met a charming guy in class, but her gut was screaming “run” long before things turned violent. Over the course of college, what began as a harmless connection with “Charlie” slowly morphed into stalking, unwanted advances, and a relentless series of red flags that left Harper feeling panicked. We sit down with her as she recounts that moment when her intuition saved her life, and how the man she once thought she could trust ended up being a murderer. T

Trigger warning: discussion of stalking, violence, attempted murder, and mental illness.
