Netflix has added another survival tale to its repertoire, and it’s a disturbing one. What makes it more chilling is that it’s not fiction but based on a very real incident that shook the nation and rekindled concerns about the risks of online dating.
The Dating App Killer: The Monica White Story originally premiered on Lifetime TV and later debuted on Netflix on August 15, 2026. The story dramatizes the real-life ordeal of Monica White, a divorced woman who narrowly escaped a convicted killer.
Who was Monica White’s date, Anthony Robinson?
White met Robinson, a single father from Virginia, in late 2020 through the dating app Tagged. At the time, she was a recent divorcee looking for companionship and wasn’t initially expecting a serious relationship. Robinson reportedly messaged her with, “Hi beautiful, I’d like to get to know you better.”
