In part two of Jessica’s story The Dating Detectives pick up right where last week’s dog-show meet-cute turned nightmare left off; at the moment she discovers her husband is tangled up in a $2 million lawsuit. As Jessica starts asking reasonable questions, Dylan’s mask slips for good. He retaliates by dumping her beloved dog’s ashes in the toilet, destroying her clothes, abandoning her at a dog event, and eventually escalating to revenge porn and online harassment that leaves her terrified in her own home and humiliated in her tight-knit dog world. Listen to part 2 to hear how Jessica lives through all of this, and get's justice.
