In this episode, Kate dives into ROMCON, a true crime documentary that unravels the shocking story of Toronto real estate broker Heather Rovet and her whirlwind romance with “Jace”—a man she would later discover was Jason Porter, a convicted felon with a long trail of romantic fraud. What began as a dream relationship spiraled into a nightmare, as Heather uncovered a pattern of deception, lies, and manipulation affecting women across North America. Heather Rovet joins Kate to share her harrowing journey from victim to investigator, revealing how she risked everything to bring Jason Porter's crimes to light. Later, Kate is joined by Melissa and Mandy, co-hosts of the Moms & Murders podcast, to break down the red flags, the psychology of con artists, and why this case hits so hard in the age of digital dating.
