Nev here, coming to you poolside.
I don't know if you guys
have been paying attention this summer,

In fact, she's been on some island working
on some other MTV shows,
but all I see her doing is this.
But that's why I'm gonna take a few notes from Kamie,
and I'm gonna just start making "Catfish"
all about catching some sun.
Anyway, because Kamie is unavailable,
I have to find someone else to cohost with me.
So I thought, why not have the only other person
I could possibly want to spend this much time with?

- Nice to meet you.
- Should we come in? - Yes, sir. Come on in.
- Okay, cool. - All right.
- Thanks for having us. - Yes, ma'am.
- How long have you been staying here?
- I have been staying here for a month.
I'm waiting to get an apartment,
so that's what I'm waiting on. - Oh, okay.
I want to get into your love life...
- Love life. - A little bit.
- So give us the story.
- Um...
So, at the age of 17,
I got incarcerated.
Me and a couple dudes--
we got into trouble.
- Theft? Burglary?
- Burglary, yes, sir. - Okay.
- The judge gave me ten years of probation.
- Got it.
- But I violated my probation by just skipping Augusta
because my mother was sick.
And I just dropped everything and just went.
But...
My mother--she died.
So we buried my mother in Florida.
Then I got into trouble in Florida.
- What were you doing?
- I was grieving, just stupid, like...
- Grieving's not a crime.
- I was going to the beach
trying to celebrate my last days in Florida,
and police... [imitates siren wailing]
- Oh, oh. - Oh.
- So you just got picked up for being publicly...
both: Intoxicated.
- And they saw that you were still on probation
and out of state and...
- They just... - You got in trouble.
- Yes, sir. - All right, got it.
- They extradited me from Florida to Georgia.
- Right. - So...
you get out of jail...
and you meet Missy? - No.
I was in prison. [chuckles] - Oh.
- I found a way to get a cell phone.
- You were in jail? - Yeah.
- Wow. - When I was on Snapchat,
it was like people nearby and stuff like that.
So I just added her.
- And have you been completely honest with her
about prison? - Yes, I have.
- Okay.
Is it flirty right away?
- No, it's really encouraging
because I guess she was going through something.
Like, she lost her mother, too,
so I just reached out to her.
I was like, "Queen, it's okay. Keep your head up."
And then she replied back.
And I was like, "Oh, my God, who are you?
Like, God sent you to me in prison."
And then she... [chuckles]
Hoo.
It's just so crazy because I love how she encouraged me.
Like, stay my head above water and stuff like that,
because my mother just died, like, and that's all I had.
But she uplifted me.
I even told her I was gonna marry her.
- I mean, do you really feel that way?
- Yes. - Wow.
- She's the one for me.
And, I mean, now...
[laughter]
- Okay, okay. Sorry, it's a lot.
- You said that you were talking on Snapchat
for a while. - Yes, sir.
- You were sending her pictures, I imagine, right?
- Yeah, I sent her...
- And was she sending you pictures back?
- Yeah, she sent me pictures back.
And these are, like, some of her pictures right here.
- Okay. Okay. Okay.
- And those are the only pictures that she sent me.
- Oh. - Ever?
- Yeah.
- Because these don't feel very personal.
- Are you talking on the phone at this point? Like...
- No, we're still texting.
- How long were you in prison?
- I was in prison in Georgia for ten months.
- Okay.
- But I had to go back to Florida
and go finish another sentence.
- What?
- From when I got locked up in Florida
and they sent me to Georgia.
- Oh, my God. - [laughing]
So how long were you then in jail in Florida?
- About six months. - Six months, okay.
And did you reconnect with her in prison there?
- They took my phone. - They took your phone.
- But I remembered everything, like, her number, her address,
and I wrote it down on my arm right here.
I used to call on the wall phone.
She never picked up.
But when I got out, that's when I text her.
- You texted her and said, "Hey, it's Malcolm."
- But she was like, "Where you been at?"
- And so did you guys pick back up, kind of like...
- Every time we pick back up, it's like we're back.
Like, she's my heart, I'm her heart.
Then, phoom, she's gone again.
- How long until she asks you for money?
- She didn't ask me for money until this month.
She was like, "Hey, love, I'm trying to get back into school.
I just need $150."
- And you were like, "No"? - Yeah.
"I would give it to you,
but right now I don't have it," so...
I just want to know if she's real.
She still has my heart.
I still want to be with her.
- Okay, it's either gonna go one of two ways.
She is who she says, you just need to meet each other,
and it's gonna be rainbows and unicorns and butterflies.
- Hopefully.
- Or it's gonna be a total disaster.
- All right, so, look,
send us an email with everything you have.
- Okay.
- Hopefully by this time tomorrow,
we should have some answers for you.
- Yeah, please. I just hope it's her.
- All right, shall we? - All right.
Yeah, let's do it. - All right.
- Good to meet you.
- Good to meet you, too.
- See you tomorrow.
- All right, see y'all later.
- I mean, look, the guy's had an emotional couple years.
- Yeah, I mean, have your mom die
and be, like, jerked around by the...
- Correctional... both: System.
- Yeah, tough.
- Malcolm seems like a really sweet guy.
He seems like he doesn't have the best decision making.
- Mixed in with a little bad luck.
- And some bad luck. - Right.
I mean, look, one thing's for sure.
Missy's got his heart on lockdown.
[upbeat music]
- [chuckles]
Shall we? - Yeah, sure.
I'm so excited. - All right, so what do we got?
30-year-old Malcolm has had a rough 10 years.
When he was a kid, he got in some trouble.
He was on probation.
Then, sadly, in 2019, his mom dies.
He goes down to Florida for the funeral,
breaking his probation of leaving the state,
gets into some trouble down there,
gets arrested, sent to prison in Georgia.
While he's in jail, finds a way to get a phone.
He's on Snapchat,
and he's meeting random people via the Snap Map.
He meets this girl Missy.
They develop a very real connection, a real bond.
But then, of course, when he gets out of prison,
he gets brought to prison in Florida
for the crime that he committed there.
So he disappears. Missy doesn't know what happened to him.
Finally gets out of prison in Florida.
He's now finally back in Georgia.
He's got a real job.
He's focused on his life and doing the right thing.
But he's never met her.
Is she real? Is she not?
Does she think he's full of [bleep]?
So let's see if we can help him out.
- Okay.
- We got an email from Malcolm.
He says, "Her name is Bermissia Flowers."
- Yeah. - And he has a phone number.
She lives in Jackson, Georgia.
"I have her Snapchat,
"but I don't have links to any of her other socials.
"I think she uses Missyflowers for all of them.
"I thought you were right
"that I didn't have many pics of Missy,
"so I took a chance and asked her for some.
"She actually sent me two new pictures of herself
but also one of someone else." - Okay.
- "I attached all of them, plus screenshots of the convo
"so you can see what she said about sending it.
"I don't know what to make of that other picture.
It has me nervous."
Wow. Okay, let's see what these new pictures are.
So here's a screenshot of his conversation.
- "Send me some new pics of you, love.
I want to see your face."
"Guessing you miss me, but, okay."
- And then...
both: Whoa. - What?
- Wait. That's a very different person.
He said, "Who is that last picture?"
And she said, "Dang, sent that by accident.
That's my friend"... - "Kailaree. Isn't she cute?"
- Oh, asking if he thinks the friend is cute.
Putting out a little feeler. - What if that's her?
- That's got to be her. - I guess.
- Just slip in the picture of yourself and then be like...
- "Oh, sorry, but isn't she a babe?"
- Well, now we definitely have a suspect.
Let's try looking for Missy's social media.
"Missy Flowers."
Nothing?
Hold on. Let's see what else.
Facebook... - Jackson, Georgia, yeah.
- Negative. - Okay.
Snapchat? - Yeah, we could open Snapchat.
- 'Cause this is how they met.
- And that's the username, Missyflowers,
but it's just an empty... nothing.
- This is not going well.
- Why are all of her socials either gone or inactive?
All right, let's do my favorite,
which is running her number in Cash App.
People never think... - How do you do this?
- You just type it in as if you're sending someone money,
and if they have a Cash App, it comes up.
Oh. - Oh, okay.
Kailaree, $missyflowers.
Oh, my God. - I mean, come on.
Kailaree was the name of the girl from Missy's text.
She's the one who's the accidental picture...
- Wait. Hold on. - That she just sent.
- The picture on Cash App is of Missy, though.
Kailaree's picture is Missy Flowers.
- You're right. - That's weird.
Picture's Missy Flowers. The name is Kailaree.
That girl, she said, is Kailaree.
- Good catch. What else?
Oh, we can search the photos. - Oh, right.
- We haven't done that yet. Let's do that.
- What do you do-- you reverse image search?
- Mm-hmm. See if we get anything.
First picture--no hits.
All right, second picture...
nothing.
All right, next pic...
oh.
Last picture...
- No. - Nothing on the pictures.
Well, we could do this one. - Yeah, Kailaree.
- Bam, hit. - Whoa.
both: That's her.
- Oh, there's a link to her Instagram.
They're different pictures, but that is her.
The eye color--that is her. That's a younger her.
- This page has a lot of followers.
It doesn't even seem like a fake page, right?
- Seems legit.
- "You're my little secret, and that's who we gonna keep it."
- Hmm.
But also Makaila.
Why would her name be Kailaree but her bio name is Makaila?
- Unless it's a nickname. - Here's what's weird.
Maybe she really is Bermissia Flowers,
but then why--
- For some reason,
she's trying to scrub herself from the Internet.
- Then she randomly mentions Kailaree
in that photo of "her friend" Kailaree.
And there's a Cash App that has Missy's picture
but Kailaree's name on it.
There's got to be a connection here.
Missy has to be lying about something.
- And that something points straight to Kailaree.
- I think we've got her.
[dramatic music]
- I don't know if Missy's real or not,
but there's something odd going on
with her friend Kailaree. - Right.
- I don't know how any of this information
is going to affect Malcolm.
- Definitely not great news for him.
That cupcake place we're meeting Malcolm
is up here on the left.
Who doesn't love cupcakes, right?
[dramatic music]
Okay.
Cute. Look at this. Oh, my God.
- Hello. both: Hey!
- What's up? - What's up, man?
- Nice to see you. - Nice to see y'all again.
- Do you like cupcakes? - I love cupcakes.
- Yeah, come on, everybody loves cupcakes.
- Hey, y'all. How you doing?
- Hi. - Whoa!
- Wow.
- This is a scone?
- Yeah, we're a little bit famous for those.
- Yeah, I might have to try the banana pudding.
- All right, we got to get to work.
- Okay, shall we? - I'm nervous.
- All right.
Why don't we walk through what we were able to find?
So, when we looked for Missy Flowers on Instagram,
we didn't find anything.
- Okay. - Same on Snap--
Like, we weren't sure if there was a way to find her.
We didn't really find anything.
So, moving on, none of the pictures
that you have from Missy popped up anywhere, which is good,
'cause it's not like she's some model, as far as we can tell,
but Missy just randomly sent you a picture
saying it was her friend Kailaree,
which, of course, raises some red flags.
When we searched the photos on Google, it found a hit.
There is an Instagram account for this girl Kailaree,
but, weirdly, it has her name here as Makaila.
You don't know anyone named Makaila...
- No - Or Kailaree?
Maybe Makaila/Kailaree
is actually the person that you're talking to.
- I mean...
I don't know what to say about that.
♪ ♪
- Next, we went to Cash App.
And watch this--take the number you gave us for Missy, okay?
And check this out.
- Wow.
- Can you explain that?
- I mean, the picture is right there.
- The picture's Missy, but look at her name.
- I know. - Kailaree.
- So why is she saying that's her friend if that's her?
- I don't even know who Kailaree is?
- So that's kind of where we're at.
We feel like we have a good lead
with the Makaila/Kailaree profile.
- Yeah. - Cash App obviously suggests
that there is clearly a connection between Missy
and Kailaree.
It just feels like
there's something obviously going on here.
- I don't know what's going on. - Right.
- Why you playing around with me, like...?
- Right. The thing that probably makes the most sense
at this point is just to reach out
to Missy and just see what she says.
- Yeah, we can do that.
- All right, so, "Hey, Missy,
"this is Nev from 'Catfish.'
"I'm with Malcolm and was hoping
I could help you guys finally meet."
[cell phone chimes] Great, it's delivered.
"Read." She read it.

"I'm willing to meet you, Nev, tonight
"to talk for a little bit but not with him there.
At least for tonight."
- But why not with me?

"My cohost Laura and I are happy to meet just us.

"Let me see if it's okay to meet there.
