Series 1: 3. Convicting the Catfish

As criminal investigations take hold, the victims finally have justice, but they are still left urgently searching for answers as they try to rebuild their lives. What drives someone, with a seemingly normal life, to throw it all away to terrorise countless women from the same town?\n\nWith no clear motive and no explanation from the person in the frame, this very modern true crime tale now turns to those closest to the perpetrator, who are also trying to understand the mystery behind the repeated cycles of offending.\n\nAs the beauty queen and the catfish’s lives become ever more entangled, lines begin to blur, loyalties are tested, and Abbie finds herself questioning everything as history repeats, and the moral complexity of crime and punishment in the internet age is laid bare.\n\nFor the many victims, the question remains: what drives someone to become one of the UK’s most prolific catfish - and why can’t they stop?\n
