Happy Dating Detectives Monday, Sleuthies! This episode is a wild ride, and not for the faint of heart. It’s a Mackenzie Undercover episode, and today’s case is infuriating. A PI investigation into what seemed like a standard insurance fraud case spirals into something darker — a mom using her 4-year-old child in an elaborate scam. Fake injuries, staged doctor visits, and a heartbreaking history of child neglect unfold before your ears. If you thought you’d heard every kind of Dogfish story, this one will leave you stunned.
