This week, we examine the murders of Brianna Jankauskas and Grace Millane — two women in opposite parts of the world who went on dates with men they met online and never made it home. Tragically, what began as routine first dates quickly turned into criminal investigations and a pursuit of justice for their families. 

We also discuss "Operation Fireball", a terrifying look into a possible human-trafficking tactic that was launched after several women across the US experienced similarly eerie occurrences during a first date from a dating app. 

These three cases reveal how quickly a simple match can turn into something far more dangerous.
