TO CATCH A CONMAN

Paige moves us thru her experiences in what she heard and saw while caring for the Dugo's children during the summer of 2016. Rick and Shannon were living in an enormous spanish style home, another home that the Dugo's failed to pay rent on. Instead of spending the summer with his children, Rick decides to try and pitch anyone and everyone he can, as he makes a name for himself in the Lake of the Ozarks.

We head back to the Lake of the Ozarks and meet a young woman who was the nanny for the Dugo's in 2016. We will again take a slightly different approach, and hear what it was like to work as a caregiver for Rick and Shannon's children, all while they spent the majority of their summer galivanting on the Lake and entertaining friends and prospective new targets. Lets take a look-see and gain insight into what it was like to work for this Conman and his wife.

In this episode, R.E.M explains why nearly 40 years later, she felt the need to tell me her story. Moving out of her house, she came across a box of old photos, and that spurned the question, what happened to Ricky Schulte ( now Dugo)? R.E.M expands on some theories and believes a deep seeded event in his childhood may be the reason he turned out to be the monster he is today.

A chance meeting at a juice bar in 1984, changes a life forever. We will meet a woman that dated a young 17 year old Ricky Schulte (now Dugo) , who provides us some of the missing pieces of his home life. In a slightly different approach, we will talk to R.E.M and hear some of her theories and stories about what it was like to date him in this first episode of her 2 part interview.

Coming up next, we will continue on with part 2 of Lou’s story, and hear how becoming victimized by Dugo nearly tore his marriage apart. Sadly when the dust settles, and as Rick sits rotting in prison, Lou is still making payments to his creditors as his debts have not been forgiven.

Coming up, we will fast forward to 2019, and meet a man that met Ricky Dugo while working at a high end car dealership in Libertyville Illinois. A victim that was never suppose to happen, as the warnings and investigation were already in full swing. Part 1 of his story is next.

Coming up on this episode, we will hear part 2 of the Godfathers story, one where Ricky Dugo took him and his family and friends on a wild ride for about $400,000. In 2018, you will hear about the meeting with the Lake County team, whom brought in an FBI agent to listen in. The FBI visits his mother, and the godfather learns of a scam that his mother never told him about, in a shocking allegation of how devious and low the conman will go to steal from the elderly. We are set up and ready to finish part 2 of the Godfather.

We venture back to the city of Chicago , and meet a man that was following the Ricky Dugo spoof page in Late May of 2018. In 2010 another phony business opportunity for the tried and true car wash partnership is pitched. We will hear part 1 of his interview next.

We head out to Missouri, and hear about how the Ricky Dugo loved to spend his summer scamming and stealing from the good folks down in the Lake of Ozarks back in 2016. A random gym meeting turns into a pseudo friendship….that can only end up one way for Britt. Coming up next, we will hear part 2 of Britt'ss wild story, and hear more about the string of excuses and lies that keep him on the hook.

On this episode of To Catch a Conman, we will head to the Lake of the Ozarks, where Ricky Dugo loved to spend the summers, showing off his 46 foot cigarette boat and scamming victims down there for over $2 million dollars. You will meet a guy that was introduced to me as someone I should contact just before I went into Lake County and provided them with my detailed Dugo File. Lets hear part 1 of Britt's story.
