00:00What happened to me is just one crazy story.
00:03You can't make it up.
00:05We're talking about 10 years of my life.
00:09I was 32, very focused on my career.
00:13All my friends are getting married.
00:15And I just felt, when's it going to be my turn?
00:17One day, I get a friend request from Bobby
00:23that changes my life.
00:26Bobby comes from a well-respected family.
00:28We had mutual connections.
00:33Over the next few months, seven or eight months,
00:3518 months, four years, we've sent thousands of messages.
00:39Eventually, he tells me he loves me.
00:43We try to make it as normal as you can online.
00:46Bobby's friends and family told me he wants to be with me.
00:49But there's always an excuse why he can't see me face to face.
00:53The stroke, his mental health.
00:55Bobby's been shot several times.
00:57What is going on?
01:00He started to lean on me.
01:01Texting her constantly.
01:03What I wouldn't give to hold you.
01:05She was not taking care of herself.
01:07It was a total takeover of her life.
01:11If I wasn't on the other end of the phone line, it upset him.
01:15We'd just fall asleep with the line open.
01:21Finally, I was questioning everything.
01:25I've never spoken to her in my life.
01:30I want answers.
01:31What I find so elaborate, so huge.
01:34It's just unbelievable.
01:36Profiles disappear.
01:37I'm terrified.
01:38You don't know what they're capable of.
01:41This is sickening.
01:43What was a lie?
01:44What was the truth?
01:45Who was the real Bobby?
01:51All of this time, who have I been sleeping on the phone with?
