Search the research collection
Find reporting by topic, place or language. Open a record to see why it was included and what the available evidence supports.
The chart uses every search filter above and all matching records, across every results page. The percentage denominator is all included URLs in the same dates, before theme, language, country or text filters.
Distinct included URLs matching these filters in each observation month. Select a point to explore its records. On small screens, scroll the chart horizontally.
A URL counts once per month and can appear in several months or themes. Themes describe the current record assessment; months show URL observations, not when events or each claim first appeared. Warnings, allegations and reported experiences are all included when coded. Partial months, collection gaps and changes in sources affect both measures. A higher share does not establish a higher risk to victims.

Reported caseCarjackingsuspectTexasman apparentlyonlinedating-scamvictimseekingLanieGardnerrelationshipBurnsville. Arrest/carjacking/shotsallegationssourceassociated, notprovenRomance-causedviolence oractualothersshotinjury; namedtargetcelebritynotcriminal. Police arrest concerns the apparent target secondary carjacking, not enforcement against the romance-scam operator or proven causal linkage. Carjacking appears in title; description only seeking relationship, so other-offending evidence binds title.
