Love Lies Abroad is an evidence-first investigative publication about cross-border relationships and the serious questions that can follow them: deception, romance scams, missing persons, documented crimes, fatal attraction cases, cultural misunderstandings, and firsthand experiences.
What we cover
Our reporting focuses on cases and patterns involving international relationships, with particular attention to the Philippines and the people, families, and public records connected to those stories. We publish documented case files, explainers, open questions, and carefully labeled firsthand accounts.
How our reporting works
Love Lies Abroad separates what a record establishes from what a source reports, what a person alleges, and what remains unknown. Court records, government releases, police statements, contemporaneous reporting, and attributable source material are preferred whenever they are available.
Named accusations are not treated as proven facts. Arrests are distinguished from convictions, allegations are attributed, and unresolved questions stay labeled as unresolved. Editorial artwork is identified as illustrative when it is not authenticated case photography.
