When 90-year-old Bert Cooper meets the charismatic Mark Marshall, he believes he's found a kindred spirit, a worldly, accomplished friend full of stories. His wife Diane, senses that something is off. His only child, daughter Brooke, finds the man tiresome. Within months, Bert is repeating Mark's stories obsessively and worrying about the near-stranger's rental situation. The slow erosion of the Cooper family unit has begun. This episode features Dr. Eric Partridge, whose research focused on chronic loneliness in older adults, who explains how predators step into the aching gap left by isolation and why directly confronting a predator usually backfires.
Beware Mysterious Mark is a Radio Sidney production. This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.
