00:27:03,322 with the Department of Public Safety. 455 00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:06,824 He's one of the early guys that I cut my teeth with 456 00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:10,195 when I was a new Internet Crimes Against Children guy. 457 00:27:10,329 --> 00:27:13,632 He is one of the best interviewers 458 00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:15,367 that I've ever seen. 459 00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:43,795 [Interviewer] Okay. 460 00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:09,187 The results were inconclusive. 461 00:28:09,188 --> 00:28:11,389 I do as much investigating as I possibly can 462 00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:15,194 to determine if that claim of sex with a 16-year-old 463 00:28:15,394 --> 00:28:16,628 was legit, 464 00:28:16,795 --> 00:28:20,064 and I'm not able to find anything to substantiate that. 465 00:28:20,065 --> 00:28:21,232 However, based on 466 00:28:21,233 --> 00:28:23,368 my investigation up to this point, 467 00:28:23,468 --> 00:28:26,204 on September 23rd of 2023, 468 00:28:26,305 --> 00:28:28,206 Steadman is indicted federally. 469 00:28:36,949 --> 00:28:38,950 [Tony] The Steadman case highlights just how devious 470 00:28:38,951 --> 00:28:41,720 a predator can be when they groom a child. 471 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,755 Children can be easily manipulated. 472 00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:45,423 A predator will gain their trust 473 00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:47,960 and build a relationship with them over time. 474 00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:51,296 Fortunately, Steadman wasn't talking to a real child. 475 00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:52,998 He was talking to me. 476 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,034 [Narrator] August 2017. 477 00:28:57,035 --> 00:29:00,639 Tony is in a race against time to snare a predator teacher 478 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,474 before the start of the school year. 479 00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:04,643 [Tony] We've got to get moving 480 00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:07,045 before this guy does some real harm. 481 00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:09,113 I'm Detective Godwin. 482 00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:11,250 I have a search warrant for your residence. 483 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,584 [Narrator] Tony and his team discover the predator 484 00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:16,655 is a prolific collector of illegal material. 485 00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,791 But they are about to stumble upon something 486 00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:22,761 that none of them are prepared for. 487 00:29:22,861 --> 00:29:24,496 [Tony] It was the most disturbing thing 488 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:27,799 I have ever seen in my entire life. 489 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,470 [tense music] 490 00:29:32,471 --> 00:29:34,239 Kirk Keshler, this guy was downloading 491 00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:37,276 so much horrific child sex abuse material. 492 00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:40,912 The scary part was that he's a teacher 493 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:43,382 with special education students. 494 00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:45,751 My team and I, we had to act super fast 495 00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:48,887 to get him into custody and deny him access to any kids. 496 00:29:54,192 --> 00:29:56,294 This case kicks off about a month earlier, 497 00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:58,196 when I get contacted by two of my colleagues 498 00:29:58,397 --> 00:29:59,598 from different agencies. 499 00:29:59,698 --> 00:30:02,234 They tell me that they have a suspected IP address 500 00:30:02,401 --> 00:30:05,203 that's targeted in my city that's downloaded about 501 00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:08,673 192 child sex abuse material files. 502 00:30:08,674 --> 00:30:11,543 And then I pull five of those files out just randomly 503 00:30:11,677 --> 00:30:13,712 to kind of spot check and verify if 504 00:30:13,879 --> 00:30:16,915 what that is is actually child sex abuse material. 505 00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,250 And it is. 506 00:30:19,351 --> 00:30:22,586 My next course of action is determine does this IP address 507 00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:25,389 actually belong to someone that lives in my jurisdiction. 508 00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:28,560 And it came back to a suspect, and his name is Kirk Keshler. 509 00:30:30,729 --> 00:30:32,831 I start to do a social media dive on him. 510 00:30:33,031 --> 00:30:36,034 It shows that he's a special education teacher. 511 00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:41,039 It absolutely rockets that case to the top of my stack of work. 512 00:30:41,239 --> 00:30:43,408 And there's no waiting. 513 00:30:47,946 --> 00:30:50,782 The school where Keshler teaches is out for the summer. 514 00:30:51,283 --> 00:30:53,719 Right now, it's July 19th. 515 00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:56,922 School starts on August 17th. 516 00:30:57,022 --> 00:31:00,759 That gives me four weeks to figure out where this guy is, 517 00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,761 track him down, and get him into custody 518 00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,197 before school starts. 519 00:31:05,397 --> 00:31:06,398 So that's a tight deadline 520 00:31:06,498 --> 00:31:08,667 for a really complex investigation. 521 00:31:08,834 --> 00:31:11,370 We've got to get moving before this guy does some real harm. 522 00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:20,512 [Narrator] Tony has only four weeks 523 00:31:20,679 --> 00:31:22,247 to track down Kirk Keshler 524 00:31:22,347 --> 00:31:26,084 before he returns to a classroom full of vulnerable children. 525 00:31:27,586 --> 00:31:29,754 For me and my team, the clock is ticking. 526 00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:32,924 I want to find out as much as I can about Kirk Keshler. 527 00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:35,360 So I reach out to my colleague, Mark Casteel, 528 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,130 in our intelligence unit to help me. 529 00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:41,600 I run a DMV check on Keshler, 530 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,770 and I find out that he's got a silver Chevy truck, 531 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:47,606 a black Lexus, and a red Chrysler vehicle. 532 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,408 I learn that he is a divorcee, 533 00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:52,644 that he has three grown children, 534 00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:55,013 and then I find out a real bombshell. 535 00:31:56,882 --> 00:32:00,951 I locate a 1998 report from Garner, North Carolina, 536 00:32:00,952 --> 00:32:03,954 showing that he had been investigated for child porn. 537 00:32:03,955 --> 00:32:05,924 A person reported to the police department 538 00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:09,428 that they'd actually seen child porn on Keshler's laptop. 539 00:32:10,829 --> 00:32:13,230 Garner PD went out and investigated it. 540 00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:16,234 Unfortunately, they were not able to locate any child porn 541 00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:18,403 or any reason that they could arrest him. 542 00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,172 So he walked away. 543 00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:23,073 This just adds to my stress level 544 00:32:23,074 --> 00:32:26,278 because of this history that Mark has found out. 545 00:32:26,478 --> 00:32:29,014 I need to move on this guy right now. 546 00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:38,990 Now that I know who Kirk Keshler is and where he works, 547 00:32:39,157 --> 00:32:41,159 I've got to put a surveillance team on his house. 548 00:32:41,993 --> 00:32:44,228 I know that he's got three vehicles and a boat 549 00:32:44,229 --> 00:32:45,363 that are registered to him, 550 00:32:45,564 --> 00:32:46,998 so the surveillance team goes out there, 551 00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:50,168 gets some photographs, and this is what they give me. 552 00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:53,205 What's missing is one of his vehicles, 553 00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:55,440 so what I do is reach out to the school district. 554 00:32:56,241 --> 00:32:59,043 What they tell me is that he's out of state. 555 00:32:59,044 --> 00:33:02,079 He's not due back until August 16th. 556 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,682 The troubling part is the new semester 557 00:33:03,882 --> 00:33:05,684 starts the next day, 558 00:33:05,884 --> 00:33:07,185 August 17th. 559 00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:10,989 I have no authority whatsoever or jurisdiction to arrest him 560 00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:13,390 when he's out of state. 561 00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:14,759 I need to get to Keshler before 562 00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:17,195 the start of that class on the 17th, 563 00:33:17,395 --> 00:33:20,999 which means I have to arrest him on August 16th. 564 00:33:27,038 --> 00:33:29,841 Today's a big day. This is our takedown 565 00:33:30,041 --> 00:33:31,242 of Kirk Keshler. 566 00:33:31,243 --> 00:33:33,845 The problem is, we don't know if he's there. 567 00:33:34,045 --> 00:33:35,714 He's supposed to be coming back from vacation. 568 00:33:36,648 --> 00:33:38,483 He has no idea that we're looking at him. 569 00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:40,352 I've got a team set up at his house, 570 00:33:40,552 --> 00:33:43,588 and they're there to tell me, hey, do you see him or not? 571 00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:45,189 We're on a window. 572 00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:46,992 We've got a couple of hours, and the next thing you know, 573 00:33:47,192 --> 00:33:48,392 it's going to be dark. 574 00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:49,827 It's going to make things much harder for us. 575 00:33:49,828 --> 00:33:52,631 I can't run the risk of this guy slipping through 576 00:33:52,797 --> 00:33:55,367 and even attempting to try to go to work tomorrow. 577 00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,801 Now this is a two-pronged takedown. 578 00:33:57,802 --> 00:34:00,070 One is a team that's going to arrest Keshler. 579 00:34:00,071 --> 00:34:01,672 I'm part of that team. 580 00:34:01,673 --> 00:34:04,843 Two is a search team that's going to find that evidence. 581 00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,512 We can't allow Keshler to delete evidence, 582 00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:09,514 and so we want to make sure that he is secure 583 00:34:09,681 --> 00:34:12,284 so the other team can find all of his electronics. 584 00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:22,827 [Tony] Hello? 585 00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:24,228 I arrive at Keshler's house. 586 00:34:24,229 --> 00:34:27,165 The lights are on inside.
