It finally happened. The day we've been working so hard for: we've caught serial con man Marcel Vautour.
We should be on cloud nine, but but things start taking a very bad turn as we confront the broken legal system head-on.

We're starting to feel defeated. The question was shifting from, where in the world is Marcel Andre Vautour, to–is there anybody who even cares?
That's when a flurry of messages start appearing in our group chat.
“Holy sh*t group call ...he is arrested. We did it.”
Follow along as we proceed with cautious optimism about the day we've been dreaming of: seeing justice served.
But could it be too good to be true?

Just when we were starting to think the trail has dried up, we got a tip from a listener of the podcast that changed everything...
In Chapter 9 we hear from James, who realized in real time that March was at the drop in center for the homeless that he worked at.

Yup, this is a real March sighting video.
In Chapter 9 of @catchhimpod, hear the story of James, the Toronto social worker who recognized Marcel and Pinky after hearing our podcast.
And how Maggie, while on her newborn son’s nap, snuck into the centre where James works, to confirm if it was our guy.

Catch Him If You Can is BACK on Tuesday, June 6th.
March came from nothing. Now, he’s the 1%. He made his fortune in oil and cryptocurrency. He’s sweet, handsome and charming. It’s hard to believe he’s still single. Only, it isn’t. Because March isn’t real. He’s a border hopping Canadian con artist who’s tricked women and men out of over a million dollars. He thought he was untouchable, but now he’s messed with the wrong women.
The story of Marcel Vautour, his survivors' real time crusade to catch him, and the broken legal system that’s allowed him to get away for over 20 years.
Join us for the next chapters in this hard to believe, twisty-turny tale.

📣📣📣📣This is not a drill!! MARCEL ANDRÉ VAUTOUR IS IN CUFFS.
March has been arrested thanks to a tip that came in after someone listened to the final episode of our Frequency Podcast Network show, and of course, the tireless work of Jodi, Kym and Andréa. This is what true grit, determination and teamwork look like. BRAVO ladies, and thank you listeners.
We’re all in a state of shock. The story does not end here and even this outcome was a 3 month long ordeal that just felt like deja vu. We have so much to share with you.
Why did this take so long? Why did it take a #1 podcast, and press to get someone to care? Why are there still no charges on Jodi’s case?? Why are there no legal mechanisms to prevent serial fraudsters from doing what they do? We’re going to explore all of this and more in Season 2.
For now, let’s celebrate the fact that Marcel is off the streets.
March, you messed with the wrong women!!
📢 It’s the season finale of our chart topping podcast Catch Him If You Can! Tune in wherever you get your podcasts 📢
In this episode, Pink Moon Studio Producers Emilia and Maggie sit down with Jodi, Kym and Andréa to hear updates on the status of the case, just as another active tip comes in about March’s whereabouts. And a victim from over 20 years ago comes forward to tell her story. This is not the end.

It’s déjà vu.
Despite the warrants, police reports and barrage of evidence, the shoddy legal framework in Canada has allowed Marcel to slip right out of Andrèa, Jodi and Kym's hands time and time again.
Don't miss the final episode of Catch Him If You Can, as Maggie and Emilia speak with the women and share some major updates on the status of the case. Coming out Tuesday, June 7th, wherever you get your podcasts!

One of the most troubling aspects of fraud? Most people believe it could never happen to them.
And March is the ultimate conman: he’s a master opportunist who reads his victims, mirrors them, and becomes exactly what they need. With incredible detail, he constructs a web of lies designed to keep his victim’s mind swimming, so they don’t see the red flags. Fake emails, documents, hospital stays, and even a network of fake family and friends who text him from pre-scheduled burner phones.
That's how Nikola, a twenty-something tourist on a work Visa from the Czech Republic who unwittingly met “Mark” at a hostel in Toronto, ended up homeless on the streets of British Columbia.
Listen to Nikola's story now, wherever you get your podcasts 📣Next episode out Tuesday, May 24th!
Refusing to be seen as dupes, Kym, Andrea and Jodi created "Stop the March Madness" two years ago to raise awareness about March, seek out other victims and educate about fraud. The online campaign has collected tips, new leads, and grabbed media headlines. Not only that, they’ve found dozens of new victims - in Canada and abroad - and made shocking discoveries by digging into March’s past.

Less than 5% of romance con cases ever get reported—let alone solved—and a key reason is the shoddy legal framework surrounding these kinds of crimes.
Most victims are women, and even though these women often suffer irreparable damage both financially and psychologically, the feds consider these scams to be too ‘low stakes’ to pursue.
At the regional level, victims are often discouraged from even filing police reports --how can you prove it wasn’t just a lover’s quarrel or you weren’t lending money to a friend?
One of the most troubling aspects of these crimes? Most people believe it could never happen to them.
