WEBVTT - Coming Soon: Chasing Ghosts - The Puppeteer

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>My name is David Fisher. I've been a journalist for

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>more than thirty years. In twenty eleven, I started investigating

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>the case of a catfisher, an adult woman who had

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>been using photographs to trick dozens of teenage boys and

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>young men into romantic relationships. We called her the Facebook Predator.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>She called herself the Puppeteer. In my career, I've written

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>thousands of stories and interviewed too many people to count,

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>some who have been in my life for only a moment,

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and others have stuck around. This is one story that

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was done with. That's until I get

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>an email out of the blue over a decade after

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>my original investigation, and I found myself drawn back into

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the world of potentially New Zealand's worst catfisher. Join me

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in the new season of Chasing Ghosts as I re

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>examined my original investigation, learn what I've missed at the time,

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and find out if there's any way to stop a

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>serial catfisher. Listen to Chasing Ghosts The Puppeteer at inzid
