- Did he ever explain what happened
when he didn't show up to meet you in Times Square?
- Does it feel the same like it used to be
when you guys first met and were talking?
- Okay. - Well, look.
I get that these calls can be awkward,
but we want to hear your story.
So we're gonna have to come to Fitchburg,
get into this a little bit more,
and figure this out.
- Kay, we will see you soon.

I'm Kamie.
How are you? - I'm good.
How are you? - Good.
- Come on in.
[upbeat music]
- Cozy.
So tell us about yourself a little bit more.
Were you born and raised here in Fitchburg?
- I was born in Puerto Rico.
- Oh, cool.
- We never talk about Puerto Rico.
- Wow, okay.
So how long did you live there before you
moved to the States?
- I lived there till I was, like, about four
when my father passed, and then--
- Sorry. - Moved over to Massachusetts.
- Wow, okay.
- Puerto Rico to Massachusetts must have been
insane culture shock.
- Yeah, starting school was pretty hard.
- And then you mentioned that you were in foster care.
- Yeah, my mom passed away when I was 16.
- Wow.
- So I moved into the placement home,
and, like, just living there was just very hard for me.
Dealing with that and, like, starting school again
in a whole different place.
And a month or two into foster care is when I met Tyreek.
And just, like, being able to, like,
have someone to talk to every day would, like,
make that so much better to deal with.
Because then, like, I have something else
to completely focus on.
[somber music]
And, like, he was just, like, my comfort zone
and safe place from, like,
being with all those people every day.
I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
You've been through a lot.
I'm so sorry that that happened to you.
- Yeah. - So okay.
So you--you've just entered into
the foster care program at the time.
- Yeah.
- And you go on this app.
What happens?
- It's like, I went into my message request,
and it was his profile.
And he was like, hey.
And from there, the conversation went pretty good.
It was like pretty constant conversation,
like we could talk to each other and be open about stuff.
And we found out, like,
we had a bunch of stuff in common,
like anime and, like, playing video games.
- Did he have a picture? - Yes.
The one picture of him was, like,
him in a squid hat, which was completely funny
'cause it had, like, the little tentacles hanging down.
- What'd you think of him when you saw his picture?
- I thought it was, like, funny,
but, like, he looked cute in the hat.
- When did you first talk on the phone?
- Probably a month or so, somewhere after.
We basically stayed on the phone almost all night.
- Wow. So that must have been exciting.
- Definitely.
- How soon into you guys talking and texting
and phone calls did it become romantic?
- It started being more, like, actually flirty,
like, after the phone call.
It was, like, more of the "babe, bae."
- And that was, like, in month two basically?
- Yeah.
- So pretty much for the entire last two years--
- Yes. - You've been in an--
- An exclusive relationship.
- Pretty serious relationship with Tyreek.
- He told you he's from New York City.
- Yeah. - Did he say where in New York?
- Yeah, tell us about what--
yeah, what do you know about him?
- Last I've known, he was, like, in Manhattan.
And he goes to school for engineering.
- Oh, okay, cool.
Do you know where he goes to school?
- No.
- And how do you feel about Tyreek?
- He's like my best friend
and person I'm in love with all, like, at once,
but he's also my safe space,
like, someone I can count on.
- He's reliable. - Yes.
- Most of the time.
- Except for when you're in Times Square.
- That's right. You made a plan to meet.
When was that?
- Like, about last month.
I was going to New Jersey with my friend and her family.
So I had texted him.
I'm like, hey, I'm gonna be in New Jersey tomorrow,
and I was wondering if you want to meet.
He like, okay, I could be free around noon.
He, like, gave me a place, like, a cafe.
- Sure. In Times Square?
- Yeah.
I wait there for, like, about two hours.
- You waited in the cafe for two hours?
- Yes. And I texted him,
hey, are you just not gonna show up?
Later that night, he texted me.
Hey, sorry, I got caught up at work.
Like, they just throw an extra shift on you
or something like that.
- But you can text, hey, they just
threw an extra shift on me. I have to--
- Or I can't leave work.
Come here. - Yeah.
- I just kind of just left, and, like,
the next morning, he just started texting back
like everything was fine.
So I just continued it.
Like, we went back to how everything was.
And then like two weeks ago,
he calls like, hey, I'm sorry.
I can't, like, do this anymore.
I just need, like, time to myself.
So I spent most of that night crying.
And then recently, he's just, like, started texting,
being flirty and, like, everything was normal again.
So I text him, hey, how can you just text me
and just act like you didn't just
recently break up with me?
- Good.
Good for you for asking.
And what did he say?
- It was just like, yeah, I'm sorry about that,
but I want to try to earn your trust again.
- Okay, so there's an understanding
that he knows that--
- He, like, messed up.
- Okay, and that he wants to kind of get back
to being in a relationship? - Yeah.
- And do you feel over the last week or two that
that's sort of heading in that direction?
- It's been fine, but it's like,
I don't know if I can, like, fully trust you completely.
- Have you tried or asked him to FaceTime?
- Yeah, I would ask him to, like, FaceTime here and there.
He'd, like, make up excuses, like I'm busy with school.
- Does he have a Facebook page?
- Not at all. - Not an Instagram?
- Mm-mm.
- Not a Snapchat? Nothing?
- Have you talked about social media,
like why he doesn't have--
- I'll, like, bring up the topic,
and he'll just, like, completely change the subject.
- I'm dying to see this guy. - Yeah.
Can we see the pictures?
- Yeah.
- Okay, I got to be honest.
I like the way he looks.
I didn't know what to expect,
and his pictures match exactly
kind of how you did describe him.
But it's interesting that he doesn't FaceTime,
'cause this guy looks like someone who's comfortable
taking pictures of himself. - Yeah.
- I have to say, if I'm just looking at, like,
you haven't talked on FaceTime or video chat--
- No social media.
- He stood you up, no social media.
These are all classic red flags that you're
talking to someone who's keeping something from you
or lying entirely.
- He's not good on paper. - Right.
But hearing a little bit more about the relationship,
I can see why you'd want to see if there's
an opportunity to be together.
- Yes. - Which would be--
- Amazing.
- And have you thought about what that would be like?
- Yeah, like, we've talked a bit recently about,
like, we could eventually both move in together
after we're both done with school.
- Mm.
That's serious. - Yeah.
- You really love him. - Yeah.
- I want this to work out,
but we need you to be ready
to start finding out the truth, whatever it is,
'cause we don't know what we're gonna find.
- I'm hoping it's all good things.
- Well, I think we want to make sure that you're still gonna
be okay if we find out something that's
not what you had hoped for.
- That might actually be the hard part,
'cause, like, I don't like getting attached to people,
and, like, I've gotten attached to him.
- I hope that's not what happens, but it could.
- Is it worth it?
- To know the truth?
Yes, 'cause I'd rather know the truth than get
lied to for another two years about stuff.
- All right, we'll see what we can find,
and we'll check back in with you
and plan on meeting up-- - Okay.
- To go over it all.
- Good to meet you.
- Nice meeting you too.
[tense music]
- Oh, boy.
Kay is a very deep and interesting person.
- She's dealt with so much.
- She's been through a lot.
- Poor thing.
But this guy has been, like, her rock.
- Yeah. - I don't know.
I would love for it to be him.
But if it is him, he has a lot of explaining to do.
[tense music]
- Wow, this place is cool.
- Death before decaf.
That first sip feeling.
- Ooh, that is good.
- Mm.
- All right, Kay and Tyreek.
Kay has had a very difficult life.
- Yeah. - But she goes on this app.
She meets Tyreek.
He seems really sweet, And they click.
They really genuinely like each other.
But obviously, they've never video chatted or met up.
So she needs to know who this guy is
and what this guy wants. - Right.
- All right, let's start this investigation.
Kay sent us an email.
"Here is what I know about Tyreek.
His phone number."
And then, "He lives in New York."
- Cool.
- "He doesn't have social media,
"but his username on the friend finding app
was reekusfreekuss."
- So Tyreek, Reekus.
- Right, that makes sense.
"Also, I attached his pictures."
And then she said, "That's actually all I have."
First thing I want to do-- let's look up
this Reekusfreekuss and see if it pops up anywhere.
It's a pretty specific--
Nothing?
We could go to, like, Instagram.
Wait a sec. Whoa!
Look at that.
- "Tyreek M." We've got an initial.
Maybe his last name starts with M.
An anime profile-- we know he's into anime.
- He told her he doesn't have any social media.
- To be fair, there are only 11 posts.
Most of them are memes.
He certainly doesn't post pictures of himself.
So he wouldn't really be lying that
he barely uses social media.
Oh, he's tagged in something.
Wait a second. What is this?
Hold on.
So a guy named Brandonn photoshopped
a photo of, presumably, some friends of his.
- Mm-hmm. - But the person
in the picture that's meant to be Tyreek
is the anime character.
We should probably reach out to this guy, Brandonn.
He must know him somewhat.
- Yeah.
- Message.
Hey, Brandonn, "Catfish" needs your help.
Give me a call if you can.
Great.
And then let's do the other guy, Justin.
Give me a call if you can.
Okay, great.
So he does have a social media, but he really
doesn't seem to post pictures of himself
or post hardly at all.
So even though we found his Instagram,
we don't know if he's the guy in the pictures.
All right, let's run the photos.
Here we go.
- Nothing.
- All right, let's just try the other picture
just on the off chance that--
- No.
- All right, so no hits on any pics.
Let's take the phone number, a little phone search.
Drumroll.
- No name.
- All right, let's try another website.
Let's see.
Drumroll.
- Nothing.
- All right, we got one more site we can try.
- Drumroll.
Oh. - Ooh!
- Tyreek [bleep].
- We got a last name.
That's crazy. This is him.
- Binghamton. - Binghamton.
That's in Upstate New York.
I mean, this is our guy.
- It's definitely him.
- Weirdly, it kind of feels like Tyreek may have been
telling the truth about a lot. - Mm-hmm.
- But possibly lied about living in New York City.
- I think that might just be it.
- Right?
This-- this could be Brandonn or--
- Justin, Justin, Justin, Justin.
- Hello?
- Hi, is this Justin?
- Hey, it's Nev from the show "Catfish."
- What's up? How you doing?
- Well, we're making an episode right now
and trying to confirm.
Your friend, Tyreek, has been talking to this girl
for a few years now.
Has he ever mentioned his friend, Kay?
- Okay.
Right now, the only sort of question mark
is whether or not he's the guy in the pictures that he sent.
Would it be weird if I just texted you
a quick--a picture of Tyreek,
and you can just confirm that it's him?
- Look, I'm just gonna send you a quick picture,
and let me know when it comes through.
- Oh. Oh, weird. Okay.
You don't know who that is, do you?
- You don't know who that is?
But that is not Tyreek?
- Does it look anything like Tyreek?
- Oh. Okay, interesting.
Well, I appreciate it. Thank you.
You've actually been very helpful.
Have a great day.
- Okay, thank you.
Not Tyreek. - What?
I'm shocked.
- Well, that would make a lot of sense
as to why he hasn't wanted to FaceTime.
That answers some questions.
- And that would explain why he broke up with her
because he had already sent her the pictures of the other guy.
- We got to get over there and go over all this with her.
- I don't know that I want to.
- I know, but word is out.
Justin knows we're on the case.
- He said, "I'm sorry she's getting catfished."
Is that what he said at the end?
- Yeah. it sounded like he knows Tyreek is a catfish.
- Does this. - Right.
- I'm weirded out.
- Well, Tyreek seems to be a real person.
That's good.
- But he's lying about his face.
Who are those pictures of?
- Okay, here we go.
- What a gentleman.
Ah.
[knocking at door]
- Hi. - Hey.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
- Ooh.
Why don't we sit down?
- Did you hear anything from Tyreek?
- I texted him earlier to check in.
He said he was doing fine.
That's about it.
- All right, well, look, we did some research today.
We'll kind of just go through it.
Cool? - Yeah.
- Come around so we can all look at the computer together.
[suspenseful music]
So in your email, we had a phone number,
and we had some pictures and his username, Reekusfreekuss,
from the app that you met on.
So we thought that's a very specific username.
Maybe he's used Reekusfreekuss somewhere else.
When we went to Instagram, and we searched Reekusfreekuss,
something comes up.
Have you ever seen this? - No.
- It says Tyreek with a last initial M,
which was a piece of new information
that I don't think you had. - Mm-mm.
- Looks like this could be our guy.
Not a lot on here, certainly no pictures
of him, unfortunately.
But why would he hide this from you?
It just seemed strange to us.
When we go to the tagged photos of him,
there is a photo of him that's tagged.
It was posted by this guy, Brandonn.
Did he ever talk about a friend named Brandonn?
Does he talk about friends?
- I've heard, like, about him playing, like, the video game
with his friend, Justin. - Oh, wow.
So wait, wait, wait.
So he's talked about his friend, Justin?
- Yeah.
- The only other person tagged in this is Justin.
Whoever made this obviously went to some trouble
to Photoshop this.
- Clearly. - They must know Tyreek.
So we actually just sent out a message to both of them,
and just said, hey, we could use your help, give us a call.
- Okay. - And then we'll show you
what we did while we waited for them, hopefully, to call.
- All right. - So we ran his phone number.
And when we did that, it came back to someone
named Tyreek [bleep].
So this was exciting.
Okay, we got a name, a location,
specifically Binghamton, New York--
not Manhattan.
So this sort of felt like-- it looked like we for sure
now know Tyreek is a real person.
Maybe he doesn't live in the city.
- Yeah.
- Which would explain why he couldn't meet you.
But we then got a phone call from Justin.
He's like, what's this about?
I said, Tyreek has been talking to this girl, Kay.
The big question I really want to ask you is,
if you could just confirm that he's the guy
in the pictures we have of him.
We texted him a picture.
And immediately, Justin was like, no,
that is not Tyreek.
And then Justin said, I got to go.
I'm sorry she's getting catfished.
He said that.
- Yeah, but he didn't sound surprised.
- So that was kind of where we left it.
[somber music]
- I have, like, no idea what to think now.
I thought that was the person I've been talking to.
I've told the person--
this person literally things I've never told anybody else.
♪♪ ♪♪
Lying about where you live or, like,
not having social media, that's something, like,
anybody can just, like, forgive and forget about.
Like, lying about who you actually are?
That's just completely messed up.
- And the real worry that we now had,
you know, again, if Justin's telling us the truth,
why does it sound like this could be
something he's done before?
Are there other people that he talks to
that are hoping to meet up with him?
- He could have been in the cafe while you were there,
and you would have had no idea
because he's not the guy in the pictures.
- Yeah.
- So yeah, we don't know who this guy is.
But according to Justin, it's definitely
not who you're talking to.
Wait a second. I just noticed this.
Look in the background here of this photo of Tyreek.
Wait, wait.
Holy [bleep].
[tense music]
- Wait a second. I just noticed this.
Look in the background here of this photo of Tyreek.
Holy [bleep].
- There's a diploma. - A diploma.
It says--
- Something high school.
- Is that Binghamton? - It is.
What is that name?
- Wait, that says Tyreek.
Wait a second. - Does it?
- That--I swear to God, that says Tyreek.
- It's so blurry.
- No, but that's an M, and then that looks
like it could say Tyreek.
I can't believe we didn't notice that until just now.
- I never saw that.
- Well, now, I mean, I wasn't sure how much
to believe Justin, but I--
I would bet that says Tyreek [bleep].
- What the hell?
Why would he lie?
- What is Tyreek hiding?
And/or why is Justin being shady?
- Maybe he is Tyreek.
Something is wrong. - That is--
- Something is wrong.
- Why would Justin lie to us?
- I think we need to go straight to the source now.
- I want, like, answers,
'cause either Tyreek himself is lying or his friend.
I feel like you should call him.
- If he knows we're on to him, do you think he'll answer?
I mean, I don't know. - We could try.
- I guess, yeah, it's worth a shot.
All right.
[line trilling]
- At the tone, please record your message.
When you've finished recording, you may hang up or press one--
- All right, well, let's text.
Hey, Tyreek.
This is Nev from the show "Catfish."
I'm with Kay in Massachusetts hoping to get in touch.
We can help you guys finally meet up.
Give me a call when you can.
All right, well then--
- Let's call Justin.
He's got a lot of explaining to do.
- Yeah.
[line trilling]
- Hey, Justin. It's Nev.
Why--why did you lie to us about the picture?
We just noticed a diploma with Tyreek's name on it
in the photo we sent you.
Why did you say that it wasn't him?
- Is there anything else you told us that wasn't true?
Has he ever mentioned Kay to you?
- Got it. We were actually just trying
to reach him to set up a meeting,
but he--
we haven't had any luck yet.
- Oh.
- Where would we meet him, in Binghamton?
- He does? Okay.
- So you're willing to meet us in Binghamton
to sort of help with coaxing him to meet up with us?
- We appreciate your help, although you understand
it's a little hard to--
- Trust you at this moment, but okay.
Do you think you could encourage him to text
and confirm he is a willing participant?
- Okay, should we just plan on meeting you in Binghamton
basically in town somewhere?
- Okay, later.
- I'm sorry. That was, like,
completely suspicious. - That is weird.
Is Justin involved in this somehow,
or is it really just Tyreek?
- I just think his friend's suspicious.
Like, the whole thing is just weird.
- I'm even more confused than I was before.
- I--I guess we're just gonna have
to kind of roll the dice and head out there
and sort of find out.
Are you down to take that chance?
- I'll give him the benefit of the doubt one last time.
- Well, then I guess it looks like we're taking
a little bit of a road trip.
- Okay.
- Oh, there she is.
Is that all you got? - Yeah.
- How are you feeling?
- Nervous as hell.
He texted.
Can I show it to you?
- Oh. - Oh.
- "I'm sorry if things have been weird.
"I really feel like this is the only way we'd
realistically get to meet."
Okay, so finally, he's acknowledged meeting up.
- Yeah. - All right.
We're going to Binghamton.

[dramatic music]

- Oh.
Is the issue the cameras?
Because I could also come in and talk to him, no cameras.
- Yeah. - Okay, it's just me.
- Okay. - All right.
- Thank you.
- Tyreek.

It's just me, no camera.
- What's up, man? How's it going?
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing--
no cameras, no cameras.
I understand.
I'm not here to, like, make you do
anything you don't want to do.
I just didn't honestly know if there
was even a person in here.
- This is so sketchy.
Who the hell is talking?
- I have no idea.
- Oh, [bleep].
- Everything you're feeling, Kay is feeling
as or way more strongly than you.
She's a total mess.
And I know you're not trying to make her feel that way,
but you are.
So how can we make sure that you're comfortable enough
to meet with us?
- Okay.
I'll hear from you in the morning?
- Okay.
- See ya.
[tense music]
- What was that?
- All right. Thanks, Justin. - You're welcome.

This morning, Tyreek texted,
"You can meet me at my place anytime."
- Do you feel like the original fear that you had yesterday
has kind of subsided a little bit?
- Yeah. - I do think
we should stay prepared for the possibility
that Justin is somehow involved in this.

Here we are.

You see something?

- Hello. - What's up, man?
Nice to officially meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.
- How's it going?

- Well, why don't you come on down,
and we can finally make this happen?
- Yeah. - This is Kamie.
- Hello. - Kamie.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.
- And this is Kay.
- Hello.
- Also shy and nervous.
Are you feeling hopefully better today?
- Yeah, definitely.
- While Kay is sort of figuring out what she wants to say,
is it cool if I ask you a couple of questions?
- Yeah, of course. - Okay.
Now that we're all seeing you,
and you are who you've always
sort of presented yourself to be,
what was the reason that you had avoided video chatting
with Kay the past two years?
- Well, it kind of sounds silly,
but I just don't really view myself
in a very positive light, if that makes sense.
Like, three, four years ago,
I met this girl on a game I was playing.
And then she was like, oh, I kind of want to--
I'd like to video chat you.
And then after that, she was like,
this just isn't gonna work.
And then she kind of hanged up and blocked me after that.
So I was just--
ever since then, I've just been--
- You know I'm not, like, a judgy person, so,
like, why couldn't you just come out and say that?
Like, I'm not gonna judge you off how you look.
Because, like, looks aren't really important.
It's more, like, about personality.
- Yeah, I really should have, looking back on it.
It's just, honestly, I just was really embarrassed about it.
Every time it kind of came up,
I walked around the question, sure.
- Well, what about the time you ghosted her
when she came to see you in the city?
- Yeah.
- Why did you lie about where you live?
- Well, I never really specified
about the whole thing.
I said New York and then never really--
- No, you said Manhattan, which is the city.
- Yeah.
- Like, I live close enough to the city where it's like,
if we had to meet up there, to keep it,
you know, that idea going, then--
- Yet you couldn't even show up.
- Well, right.
So you did say you would meet her in the city,
and then that didn't happen.
Why?
- Honestly, I was completely, like, ready to go.
It's just like, I had, like, this gut feeling telling me,
you should not go out there.
Like, she'd be like, you know what?
I don't really know what I saw in you in the first place
kind of deal.
- Like, you do realize I sat there
for two hours waiting for you to [bleep] show up,
but you didn't.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry.
- Okay, so what, if anything else,
isn't true that Kay thinks she knows about you?
- You're 18? - Yes.
- Okay, so there's no one else
that you're talking to - No.
- Or that you've been dating or--
- And Justin hasn't been involved in any of this,
as far as talking to Kay?
It's been you the whole time?
- Yes.
- So he genuinely just came all the way here to support you?
- Yeah.
- That's a good friend. Weird.
He did some weird stuff to us, but I get it.
He has your back.
Well, if everything else is true,
are your feelings for Kay true?
Like, you broke up with her not that long ago.
- Yeah, wait. Let's--yeah, wait.
Why did you sort of out of nowhere
call and say, hey, I think we need to break up?
- So I had an opportunity to kind of reflect
on how I've been, and I realized, like,
she could honestly do a lot better than me.
- So be better.
That's all I can really tell you.
If you think I can do better, like,
try to make yourself be that person.
[tense music]
I'm sorry.
I can't right now, like--

- I'm sorry, but if you really love someone
and you think they can do better--
- Honestly, I don't want to absolve him from anything,
but I think he genuinely is very, very insecure
and didn't know how to say that to you.
Because what guy wants to admit that?
- I'm not gonna judge you on how you look.
Like, I don't care about any of that stuff.
- I don't think you said anything wrong.
I think she just has a lot of feelings that she's been
waiting to express to you.
But I get the sense that you really
do have feelings for Kay.
- 100%.
- And seeing her now only sort of fortifies those feelings?
- Yeah.
I'm just disappointed in-- in me and how I've been acting.
- Generally, if someone tells you
that they're not good enough for you,
you should believe them.
But I think that his feelings about himself
are what is making him come to that conclusion.
I think he just feels really low about himself.
- So let's do that.
You want to?
Let's go.
