Chapter 1: What are the dangers of online dating?
It was in prison for 13 years. I go, it's not a big deal. She goes, they don't send people to prison for 13 years because it's not a big deal. And I mean, she's like really loud. I'm like, I went to mash.com. I went to Tinder. Like I got kicked off with three different dating apps.
They go to a baseball game. He gets drunk. They go back to her place. And the next morning, her car and her are missing. But her phone, purse, wallet, everything's at her house. This guy that she had been dating for a month was homeless, an alcoholic. got drunk, killed her, drowned her in her bathtub, chopped up her body.
And so based on the wrapper, he was able to look up certain delis in New York City that had that specific wrapper. Google imaged all of the restaurants, found the specific one that he was sitting in, and he was able to say, you are at this exact restaurant, and then he walked 100 feet across the street to sit and eat it at this spot.
I think people in general, if they're sharp, they can fool you. Yeah. And honestly, I'm such a huge believer in intuition.
Yeah.
Something doesn't feel right. It's not right. Like something's wrong. Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm going to be doing an interview with Courtney Bell and Jillian Lee Garner, and they have a podcast called I Met My Murderer Online. Check out the interview. I listened to the episode, the last episode, and it's funny. It seemed really good.
It's heavily, well, it's not super heavily edited because I didn't hear any It was really edited well because you do, there are interviews with different, what do you want to call subjects or witnesses?
Yeah.
Participants.

Chapter 2: How can intuition help in recognizing online threats?
That's a constitutional right you have. Right.
But it was a new prosecutor and whatever. Anyway, it was a great podcast. But other than that, it's mostly crimes that are more thought out. And I don't know as a result of that or not, I don't know what the reason is, but the makeup of the people that watch my podcast, it's like 93% to 95% male.
Interesting. You know, I will say I think it makes sense to me in some sense. Obviously, I'm just theorizing here. I have absolutely no fact to base this off of. But as a woman, you have to be so hypervigilant, unfortunately, living in this country. Like, you know, I know when I walk down the street, when I get out of my car at 9 p.m.,
Even if I am only parking one block away, I pull out my pepper spray. And it's the neighborhood that I live in that I know that I'm comfortable with. If I'm out walking my roommate, the kind of dog, I'm making sure that I'm looking over my shoulder. I'm making sure that I'm not being followed home.
I'm making sure that when I stay in a hotel room, I bring a lock with me, an additional lock to put on my door because I have to travel a lot for acting work. And you don't need that Amazon link. It will. It's like $15 and you don't know where you're staying.
And it's more common than you would think of people breaking into hotel rooms because for whatever reason, I guess it's a little bit more accessible because there's so many people in and out. And so I wonder how much of...
The reason behind so many women watching or listening to these crime podcasts is because we're already grown to being a little bit more anxious and therefore concerned about what can I do to make sure that I'm keeping myself safe in the situation that I would have even never expected would have been dangerous.
Whereas I think men have a little bit more privilege of walking, you know, walking around with like less concern about being taken in the middle of the night.
Yeah. I think it's also interesting that, like, women love true crime, but for your podcast specifically, where it's not about being killed, it's not about being followed. Like, maybe, and again, I'm just theorizing, but maybe females are like, I mean, I'm not going to rob a bank. Like, I don't know. I don't need to know this.
