We are taking this week off for the holidays, but wanted to put something out in case anyone needed a TCATT fix. This is a fascinating 2022 episode that has always stuck with us. The level of deceit and horrible decisions in this one is off the charts. Thomas Montgomery is currently incarcerated for murdering his 22-year-old coworker, Brian Barrett.

This is a story of elaborate catfishing by multiple parties and shows how bad things can go when people pretend to be someone else online.
