Fanatical The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara Five bombshells from 
catfishing to incest fanfiction
The Hulu documentary takes a peek at the origins of intrusive online fandoms at the start of online fan culture.

Carr's investigation into Fegan led her on a wild goose chase leading to a confrontation with "Tara." "Tara" reached out to many of Fegan's fellow victims, like JT.

 

JT said they reached out to her stating that they also received some attention from Tegan and tried to connect with JT over the Fegan situation.

 

"Something felt weird to me because they kept trying to bring Tegan up all the time. They became very aggressive very fast and tried to message me a lot. I eventually had to say 'Hey stop messaging me about this. I literally don't want to think about it. It's over. F**k off,'" JT said.

 

JT shared that she found a link between "Tara" and Fegan, however, Carr said they didn't have enough evidence to make that conclusion.

 

"All this paints a portrait of somebody who is obsessive. They got kicked off of forums for inappropriate behavior. They were in touch with the other victims," Carr theorized about "Tara." "So after a year and a half of this and taking in all this information, this is the person it's led us to, but it's circumstantial evidence."

 

Carr and her investigative team traveled to Maine to interview "Tara" in person but she bailed on the meet-up. Carr then sent a message to "Tara" stating that her team's evidence has led them to accuse "Tara" of being Fegan.

 

In a conversation with Carr, Tegan and "Tara" over the phone, "Tara" denied any involvement in impersonating Tegan. "I know, in my core, I know that it wasn't me," they said

 

In conclusion, Tegan said, "This is someone who had a relationship with Fake Tegan, feels totally f**ked over, got conned and is pissed. So I do not think 'Tara' is Fegan. I don't think we've found Fegan."

 

The documentary ends with a statement revealing that Carr's team found "2,000 emails between Fegan and their victims over the course of 16 years. Recently unearthed evidence revealed that at least one Fegan is located in the U.K."

 

However, the investigation into Fegan continues . . .
