S1 E2 • Nicole White

This week looks at the case of young mother Nicole White. She met Jonathan Harris online and he seemed to be just the rugged type of man she found attractive. Their first date went well and they decided to meet for a second time, a couple of weeks later. CCTV footage from their second date showed their evening getting off to a great start and at the end of the evening the pair drove off in Nicole's car, but she never made it home. Harris denied any involvement in her disappearance, and despite a huge search, there was no sign of Nicole. The police had little evidence with which to use to arrest Harris. However, when the FBI later arrested him on munitions charges the police continued their investigations and uncovered key evidence about Harris' whereabouts the day after Nicole's disappearance linking Harris to the remote spot where Nicole's body was finally discovered. In the face of overwhelming evidence Harris pleaded guilty at his trial and on October 31 2016, he was sentenced to 26 years in prison.

S1 E4 • Carly Ryan

When teenager Carly Ryan went online to meet new friends, she thought she'd met the boy of her dreams in 18-year-old musician, Brandon Kane. She lived in Adelaide and he lived in Melbourne, so their relationship developed over the internet. They chatted intensely online for 18 months - always under the watchful eyes of both Carly's mother Sonya, and Brandon's stepfather, Shane. When Brandon couldn't come to her 15th birthday party, Carly was delighted that Shane said he would come instead. Being so far from home, Shane stayed the night but the following morning Sonya was horrified to discover Shane not in the guest room, but in Carly's room, sleeping on top of her bed. She threw him out of the house immediately. After begging and pleading, Sonya allowed Carly to continue chatting to Brandon online, and life continued as normal. Or so it seemed. On 19th February 2007, Carly went to stay the night with friends. When Sonya called Carly the next morning, Carly didn't answer and her mother was instantly worried. She then got a call from a man saying he'd found Carly's purse on the side of the road. Carly's body was discovered at a beach 80km south of Adelaide and the terrifying truth was revealed. Carly had kept a secret from her mother - she wasn't seeing friends. Carly had planned to meet Brandon. What neither Carly nor Sonia knew was that Brandon and Shane didn't exist. They were just two of more than 200 online personas created by 50-year-old Garry Newman. Newman lured Carly away from her family, attacked and killed her.

S1 E7 • Ashley Pegram

Twenty-eight-year-old Ashley Pegram was a mum to three young children. Her world fell apart when her partner, and the father to her youngest son, was killed in a car accident returning home from work. Lonely and depressed, Ashley began to use dating apps to meet new men. On Friday 3rd April 2015, Ashley hastily arranged to meet a guy she'd met online just a few hours earlier. He called himself 'E Money Bon'. She left for her date around 9pm, and she was never seen again. That night, she had left the phone she shared with her family at home, and the police were able to use a text that her date, Edward Bonilla, had sent her, to track him down. Bonilla denied any involvement in Ashley's disappearance but Bonilla's story didn't stack up. They found Ashley's blood in his work van and the car he was driving that night. It was a month later that her body was found. On 11th August 2016, a jury found Edward Bonilla guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

S1 E8 • Sharon Siermans

Twenty-nine-year-old mum Sharon Siermans from Ballarat (Victoria, Australia) was looking for love when she began chatting online to a man named Jason Godfrey, in January 2013. They arranged their first date but when Sharon met him at Ballarat train station, he looked nothing like he did online. Sharon was so embarrassed to be seen with him in public that she made a catastrophic decision: she invited him to her house. The date didn't go well, so Sharon called it short. Sharon forgot all about her disastrous date and moved on. Meanwhile Jason was beginning a relationship with another local single mum, Sonji Beacham. But Jason Godfrey was not the man he claimed to be online. He was actually called Jason Dinsley and he was a man spinning a web of lies to hide his violent criminal past. Three months passed with no further contact. When Dinsley went for a late-night walk in the early hours of Saturday 6th April 2013, he walked past Sharon's house. It brought back his intense feelings of rejection and he flew into a rage. He got a cricket bat from home, broke into Sharon's house and beat her to death. What no one knew was that Jason Dinsley was on parole for a previous rape at the time of Sharon's murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 32 years.
