Just when you thought the saga of Anthony Strangis had reached its final chapter, Toxic is back on Investigation Discovery this Monday with a fresh set of accusations against the convicted con man. Surviving Strangis (Season 1, Episode 5), airing June 9th at 10 PM ET, picks up where the Bad Vegan story left off, with Elizabeth Chambers leading an investigation into Strangis’s post-conviction life—and uncovering a string of alleged new victims.
Chambers, a journalist with a sharp eye for deception, uncovers troubling patterns that suggest Strangis may be up to his old tricks. Among the new cases: a Hollywood actor and an unsuspecting family who appear to have fallen prey to Strangis’s manipulative tactics.
The episode looks to be a deep dive into the psychology of a con artist and raises hard questions about the nature of accountability—and whether some predators can ever truly be reformed. With Sarma Melngailis herself weighing in on Strangis’s MO, the episode adds firsthand insight into how easily charm can turn into control.
