Gulf Coast Confidential with Mollye Barrows

I’m Investigative Journalist Mollye Barrows. For years, I’ve covered the stories that made headlines in Northwest Florida and all along the Gulf Coast - murders, missing persons, and mysteries of all kinds. These cases are far from over for many victims because the full story has yet to surface. Join me for Gulf Coast Confidential, where I dive into the saltier side of the South and expose the lies, greed, and corruption that often weighs down the truth.

Have you been catfished? Lawd, I’m not even sure what that means, but when I think of a catfish, I see a big, ugly, opportunistic bottom dweller with spiky whiskers. It’s not much different with people who use “catfishing” to lure and deceive someone.

It’s ugly enough when a stranger puts on a false persona, but what if it’s your own mother?!

That’s what happened to a 15-year-old girl in Michigan who was bullied so badly online and on her phone that her school and the FBI got involved. Instead of discovering that a character crushing stranger was tormenting the teen, the investigation hooked her momma on the other end of the line.

Dive in with us into the murky waters of duping others, in the latest episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential podcast, “Kendra Licari: the Motha of all Catfish!”
