Because March isn’t real. He’s a border hopping Canadian con artist who’s tricked women and men out of over a million dollars.
He thought he was untouchable, but now he’s messed with the wrong women.
From Pink Moon Studio, this is Catch Him if You Can. The story of Marcel Vautour, his survivors' real time crusade to catch him, and the broken legal system that’s allowed him to get away for over 20 years – told in 7 parts.
