Ep 4. Bryn & Stephanie

Bryn, a fashion designer and model from New York, contacts Nev and Kamie for help with her online relationship with Stephanie, a woman from California. The two women met on a dating app and quickly hit it off. They regularly talk on the phone and have even exchanged "I love yous." However, Bryn is starting to have doubts about Stephanie's true identity. All of their calls have been audio-only, and every time Bryn suggests video-chatting, Stephanie comes up with an excuse. Additionally, she has never been able to find Stephanie's social media accounts.

Nev and Kamie start investigating Stephanie's identity and quickly discover that there are many inconsistencies in the information she has given Bryn. For example, Stephanie claims to be a massage therapist, but a search on the California Massage Therapy Council website turns up no results for her name. They also find it suspicious that Stephanie has never given Bryn her last name or her exact location in California.

As they delve deeper, the hosts uncover some potentially troubling information. They find a social media profile that appears to belong to Stephanie, but the name associated with it is different from the name Stephanie has given Bryn. Additionally, they find that the profile was created several years ago and has many photos that seem to have been taken from other people's accounts.

Bryn is devastated by these revelations and struggles to come to terms with the fact that the person she has been talking to may not be who they claim. Nev and Kamie encourage her to continue being cautious and to prioritize her safety above all else.

The hosts continue their investigation and finally manage to track down the person they believe is behind Stephanie's online persona. They arrange a meeting with this person and are shocked by what they discover.

Overall, this episode of Catfish is filled with twists and turns as Nev and Kamie work to uncover the truth behind Stephanie's identity. It is a cautionary tale for anyone who engages in online dating and a reminder that it is important to always be vigilant and skeptical of people you meet online.
