Mariana van Zeller, the Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist, joins Kate to discuss Super Scam Me, her National Geographic documentary in which she goes undercover as the target of a romance scam. She explains how scammers build trust, exploit emotional vulnerability, and use fake military identities, AI, money mules, and cryptocurrency to deceive victims. Mariana also discusses working with a former hacker to track down her scammer in Ghana—and confronting a man who continues to insist he loves her even after his deception is exposed.

In 1985, Dorothy Thompson, owner of the Azalea Pet Cemetery in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, was found dead in the Mississippi River, and her murder went cold for decades. Then in 2009, a man told detectives that Dorothy had appeared at the foot of his bed wrapped in chains, and that he knew who killed her. Director Philip Cairney talks about HBO’s haunting new three-part docuseries The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story, from Lightbox producers Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn. He discusses how a cold case cop reopened an investigation on the word of a ghost, Dorothy’s complicated life and painful relationship with her mother Grace, who founded the cemetery, and how Hurricane Katrina wiped out crucial evidence and left lasting scars on the community. Phil also explains why every local has a story about that land, the eerie thing that happened to his camera on the property, and whether the “haunting” was a ghost or guilt.
