Was Josh's dating profile real in Missing You? Explaining Titus' catfishing scheme

As it turns out, Josh's dating profile found by Kat on Melody was fake, and it was a larger catfishing scheme run by an “insidious dog snob” named Titus. He used his dog breeding business as a cover for his criminal activities, where he used fake profiles from Facebook archives to lure hopeless singles with extensive insurance policies and then kidnap them.

Another victim of this scheme was Dana, a widower, and her son Brendan contacted Kat to investigate his mother's disappearance, which eventually led her to Titus' farms.

In the finale, Titus learns that Dana has escaped, and he lures Brendan to kidnap him instead and takes him to his farm. But just as Titus is about to harm Brendan, Kat arrives and shoots Titus. Brendan is reunited with his mother once again.

Who killed Kat's father in Missing You? Exploring the reason behind Josh's disappearance

Kat's father, Clint, was a cop and perceived as a family man by Kat. She was grieving his death when Josh disappeared from her life eleven years ago. As it turns out, Clint was a shady cop working for the criminal boss Calligan.

She also learns from her mother that Clint was having an affair. After confronting Stagger (her boss), she discovers he is in a relationship with a man called Parker. Calligan knew about Clint's relationship with Parker and used it to blackmail him. Since Clint did not want this secret to be out in the world, he was forced to work for Calligan.

On the night of his murder, as Clint was leaving Parker, Kat's friend Aqua saw the two men embracing, and Clint was worried that she would put him in front of his daughter. He follows her to her house and asks her not to say anything to Kat. Clint turns a bit violent, and Aqua takes up a knife in self-defense. Just then, Josh arrives at Aqua's home and fatally stabs Clint to save Aqua.

Josh disappears from Kat's life without a word because he could not bear to look at her grieving Clint when he knew that he was the one who murdered him.
