Laura, Jim and Lisa discuss Richard Scott Smith's ability to manipulate and ingratiate himself into other people's lives, as well as the people he is using to help him hide in plain sight. One of the women we discuss is Lee who firmly believes that Smith is the victim of a "witch hunt." We break down Lee's version of Smith, the mirror it holds up to Smith's behavior and what it reveals. Later in the episode, Jim and Lisa interview the two private investigators who helped track down  Smith.
