Who is lying, and how did they make everyone believe it? The Perfect Liar dissects deception with surgical curiosity — from daring impostors to subtle con artists, and the psychology that lets lies become truth.

Each episode peels back the mechanics of fraud, confidence tricks, social engineering and long cons, blending forensic detail, survivor testimony, and analysis of motive and method. You’ll hear how identity is forged, reputations are hijacked, and truth is reconstructed, presented in tight, story-forward episodes that prioritize evidence over sensationalism.

New episodes drop every day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 4:00 AM, so expect consistent short-to-medium length installments that focus on one deception, one tactic, or one unraveling per show. Formats rotate between case breakdowns, expert interviews, and narrative reconstructions to keep the lens fresh while staying rigorous.

This podcast is for anyone obsessed with con artists, impostors, fraud prevention, or the psychology of lying — listeners who want concrete takeaways, warning signs, and the anatomy of deception rather than idle gossip. If you study scams, prepare investigations, or simply can’t stop asking “how did they get away with it?”, this is for you.

Subscribe now to follow every lie as it’s exposed and learn to spot the perfect liar before it’s too late.

  • A Town's Only Doctor Was Never a Doctor: The Kenneth Morris Case

    A Town's Only Doctor Was Never a Doctor: The Kenneth Morris Case
    Oct 3 2026
    A Town's Only Doctor Was Never a Doctor: The Kenneth Morris Case

    Trust in a small town was weaponized for six years: a man with two years of community college and a decade in hospital supply rooms posed as a family physician to a town of 4,000, never attended medical school, and used forged diplomas and a transposed medical license number to pass board review. How did his papers, a cream-colored diploma and a certification from an online template, convince a clinic that had waited eleven months for a doctor - and who finally noticed the truth?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events that put Kenneth Allen Morris in the clinic exam rooms of Dellwood, what his daily practice looked like, and the institutional gaps that allowed a false medical identity to persist; can the details of appointments, a pharmacist’s photocopy, and a single mis-typed digit explain six years of trust?

    Person: Kenneth Allen Morris
    Age: 54
    Location: Dellwood Community Clinic
    Period: 2004-2011
    Event: Arrest on January 19, 2011

    - Morris had two years of community college and never attended medical school.
    - The Dellwood Community Clinic had gone eleven months without a physician before hiring Morris.
    - Morris began seeing patients the week after a 4-1 board vote in autumn 2004.
    - A Virginia medical license number on his application belonged to Ellen Pruitt; Morris had transposed one digit.
    - Pharmacist Warren Carlson made a photocopy of a suspicious postoperative prescription in winter 2007 and sealed it in his filing cabinet for four years.

  • She Sat With the Dying - But Her Ordination Was Fake

    She Sat With the Dying - But Her Ordination Was Fake

    She Sat With the Dying - But Her Ordination Was Fake

    A laminated ordination certificate was found dry on a frosted park bench in December 2011, yet the seminary named on it had been closed for five years - and the woman it belonged to had created it herself. How did someone with two semesters of community college and a copy-shop job become the trusted bedside presence for dying patients for two and a half years, and why did she leave before anyone asked for answers?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from a small-town upbringing through volunteer work at a palliative care facility, the application that included unverifiable references and a forged credential, and the clinical observations that described an uncommon bedside skill. What held this deception and genuine comfort together, and what finally unraveled it?

    Person: Vicki Williams
    Date found: December 9, 2011
    Facility: Cedarview palliative care
    Education: two semesters at Harwick Community College
    Conference: chaplaincy conference in St. Louis, October 2010

    - The ordination certificate was dated June 2007 and issued by the Interdenominational Seminary of the Ozarks.
    - Vicki began volunteering at Cedarview in May 2009 and was recommended for a part-time chaplain position in November 2009.
    - The seminary named on the certificate had been closed for five years by the time the certificate was found.
    - Vicki had attended Harwick Community College for two semesters and left with no degree.
    - In April 2009 Vicki submitted an application to Cedarview listing two years of prior chaplaincy at “Riverbend Extended Care” and two references that could not be verified.

  • He Certified Fires He Never Understood: The William Stevens Fraud

    He Certified Fires He Never Understood: The William Stevens Fraud

    He Certified Fires He Never Understood: The William Stevens Fraud

    The smell of smoke and a laminated fake credential on an empty lot started a collapse that would expose $2.3 million of fraud and eleven years of deception. A man presenting himself as a certified fire investigator used a homemade certificate stamped CF-0047 to convince fourteen regional insurance carriers he was legitimate - so how did nobody ever check, and who finally pieced it together?

    In this episode, we follow the discovery, the false credential, and the small inconsistencies that grew into an eleven-year fraud. Listen to how a locked Plexiglas box, a green spiral notebook, and a claims examiner's unease led to the central question: how did William T. Stevens sustain a career built on a certificate that never existed?

    Person: William T. Stevens
    Age: 40 at collapse
    Company: Tri-State Origin and Cause Consulting
    Credential number: CF-0047
    Loss uncovered: $2.3 million

    - A laminated certificate bearing the seal of the National Fire Investigation Council and number CF-0047 was found two weeks old inside a locked Plexiglas emergency-shutoff housing on an empty lot.
    - Stevens worked two years as a paid field assistant to Ted Voss and shadowed him for approximately eight months, keeping a detailed green spiral notebook of techniques and measurements.
    - For eleven years Stevens provided origin-and-cause reports to fourteen regional insurance carriers without any carrier verifying the existence of the issuing council or the credential.
    - A textile-storage fire claim of $400,000 raised suspicion when three photographs were missing and replacement photos had shadow angles inconsistent by several hours, noted by claims examiner Patrice Wynn.
    - Investigators later confirmed there was no National Fire Investigation Council, no registry, no CF-0047 in licensing databases for Ohio, Indiana, or Kentucky, and a blank stack of identical certificates was found in Stevens's locked drawer.
