Speaker 1 (00:00):
My name is David Fisher. I've been a journalist for
more than thirty years. In twenty eleven, I started investigating
the case of a catfisher, an adult woman who had
been using photographs to trick dozens of teenage boys and
young men into romantic relationships. We called her the Facebook Predator.
She called herself the Puppeteer. In my career, I've written

(00:22):
thousands of stories and interviewed too many people to count,
some who have been in my life for only a moment,
and others have stuck around. This is one story that
I thought I was done with. That's until I get
an email out of the blue over a decade after
my original investigation, and I found myself drawn back into
the world of potentially New Zealand's worst catfisher. Join me

(00:43):
in the new season of Chasing Ghosts as I re
examined my original investigation, learn what I've missed at the time,
and find out if there's any way to stop a
serial catfisher. Listen to Chasing Ghosts The Puppeteer at inzid
