A recently divorced man met a date on Match.com at the Concord Old Spaghetti Factory, leading to a drunken night with two women. They proposed continuing the evening in a hot tub, but he was arrested for DUI soon after following them. Unbeknownst to him, the incident was part of a larger scheme involving Chris Butler, a former police officer who ran a private investigation business featuring suburban moms aiming for fame, culminating in interest from Lifetime for a reality show.
The unraveling of the case with its illegal brothel, wannabe actor-turned-informant and a Lifetime TV show called 'P.I. Moms' would have weirder, darker implications than anyone imagined.
Chris Butler was running a private investigator business, offering services like finding lost loved ones and catching cheating spouses, with a twist of featuring moms.
Butler promised producers of a Lifetime reality show that he would have plenty of cases, stating, 'I push the envelope,' in a sizzle reel.
The PIs, primarily moms from East Bay suburbs, were showcased to gain notoriety and appear on platforms like 'Dr. Phil' and in People magazine.
