1
00:00:02,069 --> 00:00:03,203
The following program documents
2
00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:04,838
real law enforcement
investigations
3
00:00:04,938 --> 00:00:07,274
of child sexual predators.
This deeply disturbing content
4
00:00:07,374 --> 00:00:10,244
may be triggering for some
viewers. Please watch with care.
5
00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:13,914
Next, the team targets
an all-American dad,
6
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:18,418
who expects to meet a
14-year-old girl for sex.
7
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:26,994
Then, Detective
Tony Godwin tracks a predator
8
00:00:27,628 --> 00:00:30,797
who uses Facebook
to target an underage student.
9
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,307
And one
of Tony's officers
10
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:43,544
goes above and beyond
to get the job done.
11
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:46,880
Tony tells me
he needs me to decoy.
12
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:51,919
Get on the ground!
13
00:00:52,019 --> 00:00:53,820
A team
of police professionals
14
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:55,856
in North Dallas has one goal--
15
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:57,157
Get out of the car!
16
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:59,192
take down online predators
17
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:02,162
before they harm a real child.
18
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:04,498
Child predators are everywhere.
19
00:01:04,665 --> 00:01:07,467
Online predators pose
the biggest danger
20
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:09,469
to America's children today.
21
00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:12,572
Kids are being targeted
at an alarming rate.
22
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:15,342
This team
is opening its case files
23
00:01:15,509 --> 00:01:18,612
for the first time to show you
how it tracks them down.
24
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:21,882
All right,
he's coming this way.
25
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:25,986
And brings them to
justice by any means necessary.
26
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,021
Put your hands on the car!
27
00:01:29,222 --> 00:01:32,526
This is Detective
Tony Godwin, and his team is...
28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,462
the Predator Hunters.
29
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:40,300
Detective Tony is on
a case that stands out.
30
00:01:41,201 --> 00:01:43,303
He's hunting a predator
with a good job,
31
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:46,106
a family,
and a house in the suburbs.
32
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:50,544
But this all-American dad
is living a double life.
33
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:55,315
And what Tony uncovers
leaves him speechless.
34
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:57,551
I'm, like, at a loss for words.
35
00:01:57,651 --> 00:01:59,753
This is, like, the absolute
first time I've ever seen this.
36
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:03,023
He sends Tony some of
the most disturbing images
37
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,591
he's ever seen.
38
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:06,660
First unit's out.
39
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:08,462
We need someone
to get on the front of him.
40
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:13,967
And the deeper the
team looks, the darker it gets.
41
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:23,644
Sometimes a case comes along
that really hammers home
42
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:26,713
just how destructive
a predator's behavior can be.
43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,715
Take this guy, Jeffrey Toth.
44
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:31,618
His actions
leave his family in ruins.
45
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:41,028
This case
takes place in 2010.
46
00:02:42,195 --> 00:02:44,698
Chat rooms like
Yahoo! Chat were all the rage.
47
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:47,768
If you're a predator, these are
the places you want to hang out.
48
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:48,969
If you're a predator hunter,
49
00:02:49,069 --> 00:02:50,704
it's an even better place
to hang out.
50
00:02:52,272 --> 00:02:55,876
Catfishing is simply posing
online in an undercover capacity
51
00:02:56,043 --> 00:02:57,210
with a fake identity.
52
00:02:57,544 --> 00:02:59,546
The secret behind catfishing is
to have
53
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:01,515
a really good,
developed profile.
54
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:02,916
So this particular profile,
55
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,786
I'm a 14-year-old girl,
and my name is Alecia.
56
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,722
Photographs used
come from coworkers.
57
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,791
And they have given
me permission
58
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:13,360
to use their photographs for
these types of investigations.
59
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,495
The only thing I require
is that the photographs
60
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:19,166
are actual photographs
from 12 to 14-ish,
61
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:22,002
the ages that I'm
purporting to be online.
62
00:03:23,870 --> 00:03:25,505
When I enter the
Yahoo! chat rooms,
63
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:28,308
I enter into
a room called Romance.
64
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:30,610
Typically, I go into rooms
that are heavily populated.
65
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:34,314
I immediately get a private
message from a user named JT.
66
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:35,716
"Hey, Alecia. Jay here.
67
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:38,785
I'm a 54-year-old male from
Texas. What about you?"
68
00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:40,987
"Hey, I'm 14-year-old female."
69
00:03:41,421 --> 00:03:45,058
Jay replies back, "What you
doing? Getting in trouble? LOL"
70
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:49,963
A normal guy who has no interest
or preference in children
71
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,631
would have never even messaged.
72
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:54,634
I got red flags waving all over
the place with this guy.
73
00:03:57,604 --> 00:03:59,372
Within days,
he messages me back.
74
00:03:59,473 --> 00:04:01,007
"Do you have a computer
in your room?
75
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,076
Or is it a public computer?"
76
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,114
"I'll bet your mom
would not approve
77
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,748
of your chatting with
an older guy."
78
00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:11,184
Really typical
predator behavior.
79
00:04:11,351 --> 00:04:13,920
What kind of seed is this guy
planting in my head, right?
80
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:16,723
He's trying to just
keep this thing a secret,
81
00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:18,959
all about manipulation
of this kid.
82
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:23,830
I'm really concerned
that he could be
83
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:26,766
currently talking to other kids.
I'm really just going to play
84
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:28,768
into the role
of this 14-year-old.
85
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:31,872
I just ask him,
"What does JT stand for?"
86
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:34,207
He responds back and says,
87
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:37,878
"Jeffrey's my first name,
but Jay is my nickname."
88
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:40,046
Jay doesn't have a picture
in his profile.
89
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,388
He sends me three photos
of himself.
90
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:52,926
He looks like
the average middle-aged man.
91
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:56,997
When I've been talking to Jay
for a little over three weeks,
92
00:04:57,097 --> 00:04:58,465
then he sends me this message.
93
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:01,601
"I've collected some
fun things for you to see. LOL"
94
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:05,806
"You have to save it
to your desktop
95
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:07,674
and then delete
it afterwards, OK?"
96
00:05:09,075 --> 00:05:10,677
Now I'm really curious.
97
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:14,514
Now I'm thinking, "What the heck
is this guy going to send me?"
98
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:23,523
What he sends are three very
sexually explicit photographs.
99
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:27,127
I'm looking at the faces of
the girls in these photos,
100
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:28,828
and what's happened is he has
101
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:31,898
superimposed my
Alecia girl profile
102
00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:35,802
onto these images to make
it look like
103
00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:38,405
Alecia is engaged
in these sex acts.
104
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,041
And I'm like,
at a loss for words.
105
00:05:41,141 --> 00:05:43,844
This is like, the absolute first
time I've ever seen this.
106
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:47,881
Jeffrey is trying to just
totally desensitize me,
107
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:50,684
playing this profile,
to the thought and idea
108
00:05:50,784 --> 00:05:53,086
of having sex
with someone like him.
109
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:57,824
This guy is revealing
his absolute true colors,
110
00:05:57,991 --> 00:06:00,627
what a predator he is,
plain and simple.
111
00:06:00,794 --> 00:06:03,430
What he just did
is a felony in Texas.
112
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:08,868
Tony needs a
positive ID to move forwards.
113
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:12,239
He calls in
Detective Clint McNear.
114
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,510
Tony and I started the academy
together about 30 years ago.
115
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:21,181
Spent our whole career together,
raised our kids together.
116
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:25,318
He's been a brother I've never
had for the last 31 years.
117
00:06:26,419 --> 00:06:29,055
This is the subpoena
that was sent to Yahoo,
118
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,324
trying to identify JT.
119
00:06:31,424 --> 00:06:35,161
And what we get in return
is whatever blanket information,
120
00:06:35,795 --> 00:06:38,632
in this case Yahoo,
has on that person.
121
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:40,166
The results aren't great.
122
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:42,068
Not a lot of useful
information in there.
123
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:46,239
We get an IP address, and we get
a location that he is in Austin.
124
00:06:46,706 --> 00:06:50,644
However, the name on the
subpoena came back as Mr. JT.
125
00:06:51,978 --> 00:06:53,847
For all we know that's a
made-up screen name
126
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:57,350
- that he may have been using.
- We know where he is,
127
00:06:57,517 --> 00:07:00,020
but we're no closer
to finding out who he is.
128
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:05,191
Knowing how these cases
lay out in court,
129
00:07:05,292 --> 00:07:07,260
I know I have the elements,
but what I really need
130
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,496
is for him to set up
a meeting in person.
131
00:07:09,663 --> 00:07:11,431
Then he pops
this question on me--
132
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,833
"What's your schedule like
on Thursday?"
133
00:07:17,804 --> 00:07:20,640
"OK, I'll be driving
through Dallas on Thursday."
134
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:25,946
Bam, we got this. This guy
wants to meet in person.
135
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,349
We're confident in
where he's wanting to go
136
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:32,319
with this communication
he's having with Alecia.
137
00:07:32,419 --> 00:07:34,788
He sent pornographic images,
138
00:07:34,954 --> 00:07:36,790
he's sharing about
his sexual fantasies.
139
00:07:38,358 --> 00:07:40,327
With all that has
taken place so far,
140
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,429
clearly,
he intends to harm a child.
141
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:44,097
We need to bring the guy in.
142
00:07:49,069 --> 00:07:50,437
I decide I'm
going to push
143
00:07:50,537 --> 00:07:52,205
to one of my
favorite takedown locations.
144
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,007
It's kind of
a U-shaped driveway,
145
00:07:54,107 --> 00:07:56,309
which gives us
the tactical advantage.
146
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,278
It's one way in and one way out.
147
00:07:58,378 --> 00:08:00,647
There's a lot of team members,
and I have to place them
148
00:08:00,747 --> 00:08:02,582
strategically from
an outer perimeter
149
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:05,585
to an inner perimeter
so that when the target,
150
00:08:05,752 --> 00:08:08,188
Jeffrey, arrives,
we know that ahead of time,
151
00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:10,990
we see him ahead of time,
and then it gets passed off
152
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:12,992
to Clint, sitting close by.
153
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,395
Yeah,
you staged me just outside,
154
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,864
so no matter which angle
he approached from,
155
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,266
he was going to have to
drive right in front of me,
156
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:23,403
and then I could pull out
and trail him right inside.
157
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:25,638
The reason we want
to be able to control it is
158
00:08:25,739 --> 00:08:28,074
that he doesn't get out
and harm the public,
159
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,243
or if they see another child,
160
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:32,645
to harm them,
or it turns into a car chase.
161
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,914
So this is the best ability
162
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:37,784
for us to control a
very dangerous situation.
163
00:08:41,087 --> 00:08:43,456
Just days
before the takedown,
164
00:08:43,623 --> 00:08:45,525
Jeffrey starts to back off.
165
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:48,228
I really think the gravity
of what's going on
166
00:08:48,328 --> 00:08:49,796
is kind of setting in with him,
167
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:52,165
and it's kind of weighing on
his shoulders, because he says,
168
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:53,833
"I'm a little nervous."
169
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:57,470
And I respond back,
"Me too. I'm really nervous."
170
00:08:57,637 --> 00:08:59,205
So then Jeffrey
hits me with this.
171
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:00,640
"I could land in jail.
172
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:04,411
I have visions of the police
scooping me up as I walk out."
173
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:08,915
What they're doing
is obviously a crime.
174
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:12,352
They know that they're
coming to meet a child,
175
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:13,987
and so they get cold feet.
176
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:17,390
I try to reassure him.
177
00:09:18,158 --> 00:09:20,226
At the end of the day,
I've still got him.
178
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:22,829
We're about to put
our hands on him.
179
00:09:22,996 --> 00:09:25,198
Now I just need him to show up.
180
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:33,039
So April 22nd at 9:30 a.m.,
181
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:37,143
I text him, and I let
him know what the address is,
182
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,545
and where he's coming.
183
00:09:38,711 --> 00:09:40,814
This guy potentially
could be armed.
184
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:43,683
My number one priority
is that nobody gets hurt.
185
00:09:43,783 --> 00:09:45,185
I'm setting up
on surveillance,
186
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:46,920
waiting for a traveler
to come in.
187
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:50,590
He's identified himself
as J or Jeffrey.
188
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:52,225
If it goes accordingly,
189
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,794
he will pull in
on the east side of the complex,
190
00:09:54,894 --> 00:09:57,230
which is this location
that I have on video.
191
00:09:57,397 --> 00:09:58,798
You're sitting out there,
192
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:00,800
then you start thinking, "OK,
this guy's not going to show up.
193
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,368
"Is this going to really go
down,
194
00:10:02,469 --> 00:10:04,370
or are they going to
get nervous and bail?"
195
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:06,172
I'm getting
a text message right now.
196
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:07,874
Said he's caught
in some construction,
197
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:09,876
taking a little longer
than expected.
198
00:10:09,976 --> 00:10:11,878
We don't know if
he's gaming Tony.
199
00:10:11,978 --> 00:10:14,848
We don't know if he already
may be there doing a heat run,
200
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:16,449
driving by looking for us.
201
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:18,585
I just received this
a few minutes ago.
202
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:19,986
"Yes, all OK.
203
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:21,754
About 45 minutes outside of
Dallas in Waxahachie."
204
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:26,593
I responded back,
"OK, I'm getting excited."
205
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,895
And he sent back, "Me too."
206
00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:32,031
All I want to hear is
one of my spotters say,
207
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:33,366
"I have eyes on him."
208
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:36,202
11:18 a.m.,
I just received a text
209
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:39,205
from the suspect who said
he is ten minutes away.
210
00:10:44,244 --> 00:10:47,213
Tony's team is ready
to take down a child predator
211
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:49,749
in a North Dallas
apartment complex.
212
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:51,584
I'm setting up
on surveillance,
213
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,152
waiting for
a traveler to come in.
214
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:56,589
He's identified himself as
Jay or Jeffrey.
215
00:10:56,689 --> 00:10:59,058
These operations take a
huge amount of resources,
216
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,060
because I have to have
covert vehicles,
217
00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:03,229
covert detectives,
uniform people.
218
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,064
There's a lot of moving parts
219
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:07,467
and a lot of risk
that is involved.
220
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:11,037
He's in front of
the complex right now.
221
00:11:13,873 --> 00:11:16,876
Stand by. I got
a visual on him. This is him.
222
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,649
He's parking.
Come in, come in, come in.
223
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:25,318
First unit's out.
224
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:27,220
We need someone to
get on the front of him.
225
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,261
They do
a textbook takedown,
226
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:37,030
they approach Jeffrey.
227
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:38,464
They've got him.
228
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:40,633
He does comply.
229
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:43,436
Here's our suspect.
230
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:45,638
When the police
are running up,
231
00:11:45,738 --> 00:11:47,874
banging on the window,
232
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:50,677
I think it's just
an overwhelming surprise.
233
00:11:50,843 --> 00:11:53,279
These people are so focused
on this fantasy
234
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,248
that they think is
going to play out.
235
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:58,785
When we click the cuffs on
is really satisfaction.
236
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:01,921
Today, this person
won't harm a child.
237
00:12:08,595 --> 00:12:10,096
They search him and his car.
238
00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:14,968
The team finds a webcam,
a digital camera,
239
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,904
a laptop,
and a bottle of lubricant.
240
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:21,641
I'm not shocked,
241
00:12:21,808 --> 00:12:24,244
but I wasn't anticipating
finding that at all.
242
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,346
They recover
his driver's license,
243
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:29,315
which identifies him
as Jeffrey Blaze Toth.
244
00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:34,087
I do a search on him
and determine that Jeffrey
245
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:35,488
is married with two children.
246
00:12:36,823 --> 00:12:38,558
Toth is transported
to the police station,
247
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:41,828
where he's booked in for
online solicitation of a minor.
248
00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:55,808
What most people
don't understand
249
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:57,844
is there's an interview,
and there's an interrogation.
250
00:12:57,944 --> 00:13:01,481
And during an interview is
when I'm just building rapport.
251
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:04,684
But once I feel like I'm in
that zone is when I will trigger
252
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,286
and switch over
to an interrogation.
253
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:27,974
He opens up
and makes admissions.
254
00:13:29,075 --> 00:13:31,711
Jeffrey has no idea that I
played the role of Alecia.
255
00:13:31,878 --> 00:13:33,212
I want them to believe
256
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,715
the entire time
this was a real child.
257
00:13:36,516 --> 00:13:40,420
I do that because I want to
have success in the interview.
258
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:43,389
I want them to be very, very
transparent and open with me.
259
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:45,925
And oftentimes,
when these predators
260
00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:47,860
believe that it's a real child,
261
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:50,029
it puts them in
a different mindset.
262
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,902
You kind of see a little
deflection in his demeanor.
263
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:32,071
He's like, "I know, I know,"
like the head nod.
264
00:14:32,238 --> 00:14:35,208
The acknowledgment that,
"Yeah, I really screwed up."
265
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:39,112
He also understands
he is in deep trouble.
266
00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:55,128
Officers take Toth to jail
267
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,863
after his interview with Tony.
268
00:14:57,697 --> 00:14:59,465
Toth then calls home.
269
00:15:00,266 --> 00:15:01,734
Please continue to hold
270
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:04,237
while the operator
attempts to connect your call.
271
00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:58,324
When I hear the call, I feel
so much empathy for his wife,
272
00:15:59,258 --> 00:16:02,995
because her world
literally just shattered.
273
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:04,997
And so it's
a bittersweet moment.
274
00:16:05,097 --> 00:16:07,166
I'm super grateful
that he's never going to have
275
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:09,135
an opportunity
to harm another kid.
276
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:11,470
But I know it comes
at a price for someone else.
277
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:14,841
The next day,
a team from Austin PD
278
00:16:15,007 --> 00:16:17,076
searches Jeffrey Toth's home.
279
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:23,149
It seizes over 150,000 images
of child sexual abuse material.
280
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:29,322
The size of this collection
is unbelievably large.
281
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:33,259
It's unfathomable that
somebody would have this much.
282
00:16:35,094 --> 00:16:38,598
Every one of those
are real victims somewhere.
283
00:16:38,698 --> 00:16:41,267
This guy had everything
going in his life.
284
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:43,903
Like, he had wealth
and a family.
285
00:16:44,070 --> 00:16:46,072
And he threw it all away.
286
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,184
It's 2012.
287
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:02,355
Tony is tracking a man
who used Facebook
288
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,590
to target an underage girl.
289
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:08,194
To catch him,
290
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:11,264
Tony must take over
the identity of a real child,
291
00:17:13,332 --> 00:17:15,001
and switch takedown locations
292
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:17,770
when the predator
throws a curveball.
293
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:20,706
OK, I got eyes on him.
294
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:23,609
Suspect's coming up to Travis.
295
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,945
When Tony
finally sets the trap,
296
00:17:26,112 --> 00:17:28,514
the predator
walks right into it.
297
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:32,184
Every once in a while, we get
notified that there's a predator
298
00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:34,554
that has contact
with the child right now.
299
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:39,525
That's what the scenario
was with this guy, Andrew McKee.
300
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:41,727
My team and I,
we had to act really fast
301
00:17:41,827 --> 00:17:43,663
on a developing situation.
302
00:17:51,938 --> 00:17:54,507
April 23rd of 2012,
I got a phone call
303
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:56,609
from one of our
school resource officers.
304
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:59,478
This guy's job is to keep
middle school students safe.
305
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,448
So the SRO tells me
that a 14-year-old student
306
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,951
had come to him at the school
and told him
307
00:18:05,051 --> 00:18:07,553
she got some really unsolicited
messages on her phone.
308
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:13,826
So the messages were
really sexual in nature,
309
00:18:13,993 --> 00:18:15,561
really troubling to this kid,
310
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:17,697
why she came
to the school to report it.
311
00:18:17,863 --> 00:18:19,365
There's a real sense of urgency,
312
00:18:19,465 --> 00:18:21,500
because I'm a father
and I have daughters.
313
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:25,972
I tend to put that victim in
the sense of being my own child.
314
00:18:26,072 --> 00:18:28,007
If something like this
happened to my daughter,
315
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,809
I'm going to flip
the world upside down
316
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:31,010
to make it get right.
317
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,317
Tony is tracking a
predator who used Facebook
318
00:18:38,417 --> 00:18:40,319
to target an underage girl.
319
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:44,423
The question really is,
"Why is this adult reaching out
320
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:48,394
to a kid who he doesn't know
on any level whatsoever?"
321
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:51,597
So I tasked
one of my teammates,
322
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:53,799
David Galvan,
to start this investigation.
323
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:55,668
This is a file
on the victim.
324
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:59,572
So Tony, we met
in the academy in 1994.
325
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:01,073
He's a great cop.
326
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:04,076
He's one of those guys that you
could depend on on the street.
327
00:19:04,243 --> 00:19:06,278
Definitely one of the best
in his field.
328
00:19:07,713 --> 00:19:09,348
When it comes to
the sexual abuse,
329
00:19:09,515 --> 00:19:13,152
any type of abuse of a child
takes toll on you,
330
00:19:13,252 --> 00:19:15,788
because you carry the weight
of the children in your heart,
331
00:19:15,955 --> 00:19:17,790
and what has happened to them.
332
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:22,795
I go to the school and I do
talk with the young girl.
333
00:19:22,962 --> 00:19:24,497
She's distraught about it.
334
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,233
She feels like, of course,
like she's done something wrong,
335
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:31,437
like she's in trouble for this
when actually she's the victim.
336
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:35,374
So what she tells us is
that ten days earlier,
337
00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:37,643
she got an unsolicited
friend request
338
00:19:37,743 --> 00:19:40,513
from this guy named Andrew
McKee, which she did accept.
339
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,048
And then he immediately
sends her a message,
340
00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:43,716
says, "Hey, how are you?"
341
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:46,118
But she ignored this.
342
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:49,555
Online,
kids will friend everybody,
343
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:51,357
whether they know them or not.
344
00:19:51,457 --> 00:19:53,459
And they're divulging
information that shouldn't be
345
00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:56,629
divulged about themselves,
where they live, phone numbers
346
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:58,197
and things like
where they go to school.
347
00:19:58,297 --> 00:19:59,598
It's a very dangerous place.
348
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:02,168
Mistakes will be made.
This child happened to
349
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:04,236
have a lot of information
on her Facebook page,
350
00:20:04,403 --> 00:20:05,905
one of which was
her phone number.
351
00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,107
So a week later,
the student's in class,
352
00:20:08,274 --> 00:20:10,476
and she gets this message
on her phone that says,
353
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:12,244
"This is Andrew from Facebook.
354
00:20:13,112 --> 00:20:16,348
So what girl do you know
that will want $100?"
355
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:19,351
He sends a third message to her.
356
00:20:19,518 --> 00:20:21,353
And this time,
he sends a picture.
357
00:20:21,454 --> 00:20:23,689
And this is a picture of
a man and woman's genitals
358
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:25,191
that are touching.
359
00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:27,827
So now this student,
like she's totally confused.
360
00:20:27,993 --> 00:20:31,197
He's offering her $100 to go
find another girl to have sex.
361
00:20:32,865 --> 00:20:34,567
How disgusting is this guy?
362
00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:37,002
So when you have somebody
that is that upfront
363
00:20:37,103 --> 00:20:38,504
about things like that,
364
00:20:38,671 --> 00:20:40,673
especially when it comes
to money and other children,
365
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,809
it's very concerning.
We need to do something quickly.
366
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:47,646
We need to figure out
who this person actually is
367
00:20:47,746 --> 00:20:49,014
and get more information
on them,
368
00:20:49,115 --> 00:20:50,516
more intelligence
on that person.
369
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,555
I have to figure out
if this is a real guy
370
00:20:56,722 --> 00:20:58,190
or this is a fake profile.
371
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:02,394
So I do some database searches
on Andrew McKee.
372
00:21:02,561 --> 00:21:05,064
I get some DMV information
from Oklahoma.
373
00:21:05,231 --> 00:21:08,134
And included in that
is a driver's license photo.
374
00:21:08,367 --> 00:21:11,237
And that photo matches up
100% to the photo
375
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:14,173
that was used
on the Facebook profile.
376
00:21:18,978 --> 00:21:21,080
We've got to find him.
And I've got an idea.
377
00:21:21,747 --> 00:21:24,450
The victim, in this case,
along with her parents,
378
00:21:24,550 --> 00:21:26,752
gives me permission
to do a takeover
379
00:21:26,852 --> 00:21:28,487
of this Facebook account.
380
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:32,591
To become that child,
use her phone,
381
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:36,061
use her accounts,
and target Mr. McKee.
382
00:21:36,896 --> 00:21:39,098
It's a really dangerous area
to operate in,
383
00:21:39,265 --> 00:21:41,901
but I don't have any other
alternatives at this point.
384
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:46,238
I send a text message to McKee.
385
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:49,842
I just play along with him
at this point.
386
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:54,914
So I give him some details of
the girl I've allegedly found.
387
00:21:58,584 --> 00:21:59,952
So Britany is me, right?
388
00:22:00,052 --> 00:22:01,554
I'm playing, now,
my undercover role.
389
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:04,824
And so I give McKee
the phone number I use
390
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:07,726
on my undercover phone so
that we can keep things going.
391
00:22:11,297 --> 00:22:12,832
And he replies back immediately.
392
00:22:12,932 --> 00:22:15,834
"Your friend gave me
your number. How old are you?"
393
00:22:16,101 --> 00:22:19,104
So I just confirm with him.
"Well, I'm 14. Is that cool?"
394
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:21,307
He tells me,
"Yeah, I'm cool with that."
395
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:27,446
This guy is a big problem, and
he could really harm a real kid.
396
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:37,022
So on April 24th,
I text McKee as Britany,
397
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:40,192
and we talk for hours.
And it gets really pornographic.
398
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,394
I mean, some nasty stuff
starts happening.
399
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:45,698
The majority of the things
that he sent
400
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:49,868
were so highly
sexually graphic and disgusting
401
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:52,371
that we're not able to show
that type of material.
402
00:22:52,471 --> 00:22:55,808
We're not willing to expose
other people to his depravity.
403
00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:57,476
He's a sick guy.
404
00:22:59,078 --> 00:23:03,215
In order to make this case
a more solid case in court,
405
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:07,152
he has to offer up
or make a substantial step
406
00:23:07,253 --> 00:23:09,288
for a meeting in person
for a sex act.
407
00:23:09,989 --> 00:23:13,158
Eventually, McKee does
suggest a meeting in person.
408
00:23:14,426 --> 00:23:15,995
And we are on.
409
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:18,497
So I give McKee an address to
the apartment complex
410
00:23:18,664 --> 00:23:20,032
where Britany lives.
411
00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:22,334
I'm going to use that
to lure him in.
412
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:30,509
McKee says
he's traveling on the train
413
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:32,411
and he wants Britany
to meet at the station.
414
00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:33,879
The idea that we could do a
takedown
415
00:23:33,979 --> 00:23:35,414
at a public train station
416
00:23:35,514 --> 00:23:38,284
is not something that would
get even approved up my chain.
417
00:23:38,384 --> 00:23:40,586
There's too many people,
innocent bodies.
418
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,121
They have no idea
what's going on.
419
00:23:42,221 --> 00:23:44,189
We have no
real control, tactically.
420
00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:47,393
So as Britany, I just
ask him to stick to the plan.
421
00:23:47,493 --> 00:23:49,828
Just come to the apartments
like he suggested.
422
00:23:51,897 --> 00:23:55,334
So I post two people at the
train station. Both are covert.
423
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:57,636
Their job is just to
blend into the crowd,
424
00:23:57,803 --> 00:24:00,172
and wait until they
get a visual on McKee,
425
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,274
and notify us on the radio
that he's arrived.
426
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:10,749
Tony lies in wait
for Andrew McKee.
427
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:15,554
The predator thinks he's about
to meet a 14-year-old girl.
428
00:24:16,989 --> 00:24:21,727
April 26th, 2012.
The current time is 10:06 a.m.
429
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:25,964
This is Detective Godwin.
We are set up to meet a traveler
430
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:28,968
in an online solicitation
of a minor case.
431
00:24:29,435 --> 00:24:31,203
The suspect we are looking for
432
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,172
is identified
in this photograph.
433
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:38,477
His name is Andrew Dale McKee.
He's a 35-year-old male.
434
00:24:39,712 --> 00:24:42,881
At 10:16 a.m., my
covert officers at the station
435
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:44,516
tell me that McKee has arrived.
436
00:24:49,922 --> 00:24:51,557
But McKee is lost.
437
00:24:52,191 --> 00:24:55,194
Tony steps in
to keep the takedown on track.
438
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,998
So I come up with a plan to
shift everything
439
00:24:59,098 --> 00:25:00,966
by over a half a mile.
440
00:25:02,568 --> 00:25:04,336
I send him a message and say,
"Hey, there's a store
441
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:06,705
about halfway between you
and me, I'll meet you there."
442
00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:12,044
The fact that we have to move
from Plan A to Plan B,
443
00:25:12,144 --> 00:25:13,679
it elevates the risk level.
444
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:18,550
Because the traffic concerns,
the public safety concerns.
445
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:21,220
Logistically,
it's a nightmare for me.
446
00:25:25,491 --> 00:25:27,593
We have changed
the takedown location
447
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,631
to the S&K Food Store
next door to this tire shop.
448
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:35,968
We do have undercover officers
inside this location right now.
449
00:25:39,238 --> 00:25:41,040
Is that him at Travis?
450
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,213
I thought,
"Man, I lost this dude."
451
00:25:48,313 --> 00:25:50,149
And all of a sudden,
I get this message back.
452
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:56,355
OK, I got eyes on him.
453
00:25:58,223 --> 00:26:01,827
I'm expecting McKee to
sort of bolt in a direction.
454
00:26:01,994 --> 00:26:03,395
It's not like he's
not going to see
455
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:06,598
these cars and squad cars
screeching up on him.
456
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,603
So I give the team
the order to take him down.
457
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:13,772
10:55.
458
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,775
Get on the ground!
459
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:20,279
This is
the arrest of Mr. McKee.
460
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,616
Who arrived to have sex
with what he believes
461
00:26:24,716 --> 00:26:26,418
to be is a 14-year-old child.
462
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,438
I realized he suffers from
a hearing loss,
463
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,173
a very significant hearing loss.
464
00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:14,266
McKee says he's been
talking to a girl,
465
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:16,435
but she didn't really
let him know how old she was.
466
00:27:16,602 --> 00:27:19,671
I need him to know I know
everything about this case.
467
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:21,306
Now I'm going to give it to him.
468
00:28:24,403 --> 00:28:28,574
He knew exactly that this kid
was underage. I mean, come on.
469
00:28:28,674 --> 00:28:30,309
He wants me to
believe all this crap?
470
00:28:30,475 --> 00:28:31,877
I don't buy it for a second.
471
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,281
McKee's admission gives
me every bit of evidence
472
00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:39,017
that I need to put him
away for a very long time.
473
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,393
The McKee case shows that
parents shouldn't rely on
474
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:50,362
social media
platforms to protect their kids.
475
00:28:50,462 --> 00:28:51,863
Parents need to police
476
00:28:52,030 --> 00:28:54,566
their kids'
privacy settings themselves.
477
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:56,401
Kids really shouldn't
have their full names,
478
00:28:56,501 --> 00:28:59,371
their direct cell phone number,
or anything about their address
479
00:28:59,471 --> 00:29:00,973
on their social media.
480
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:04,376
To lure
the next predator,
481
00:29:04,476 --> 00:29:07,145
Tony uses one of his officers
as a decoy.
482
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:11,049
That's when
the nerves kicked in.
483
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:13,785
This case
is about grooming,
484
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:16,355
control, and the long game.
485
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:20,959
Put your hands up!
486
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:23,362
But when this
predator lands in custody,
487
00:29:23,462 --> 00:29:24,630
he denies everything.
488
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:32,004
You know,
I depend on my coworkers
489
00:29:32,104 --> 00:29:33,905
to help me
bring predators to justice.
490
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:36,808
That was the case with
this predator, Marty Taylor.
491
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:40,045
I had to think outside the box
to catch this guy.
492
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:49,187
This case took place on
the website Backpage.
493
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:53,625
Backpage was a unique place.
You can buy and sell,
494
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,794
you can apply for jobs,
find a house, a rent.
495
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:59,965
But there's a real deviant side
to Backpage in the personal ads,
496
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:02,034
and that's where we
tend to focus our attention,
497
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,369
because that's where we see
predatory behavior.
498
00:30:04,903 --> 00:30:10,709
I navigate over to the Backpage
Dallas area for men seeking men.
499
00:30:11,343 --> 00:30:13,011
What I'm looking for
is those ads
500
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:15,847
that appear to be
a little ambiguous,
501
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:19,551
looking potentially for kids,
versus a consenting adult.
502
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:22,754
I've only been on the site
for just a couple of minutes,
503
00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:24,890
and "Sugar Dad
looking for his son"
504
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:26,725
really catches my attention.
505
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:29,328
"Looking for a younger guy
for companionship,
506
00:30:29,428 --> 00:30:33,598
he must be 18 to 30-ish."
He wants love. In return,
507
00:30:33,699 --> 00:30:36,401
he's offering up a nice place,
three meals a day.
508
00:30:37,102 --> 00:30:38,804
This ad, in my experience,
509
00:30:38,904 --> 00:30:41,840
tells me that this is someone
who's got some wiggle room
510
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:45,544
in what they're looking for,
meaning most likely younger,
511
00:30:45,711 --> 00:30:47,679
knowing they can't put that
onto that ad
512
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:50,315
without getting it
flagged or removed.
513
00:30:51,316 --> 00:30:53,585
This is a predator
that's looking for a kid.
514
00:30:58,156 --> 00:30:59,624
Tony devises a plan
515
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:01,760
to lure in the
Backpage Sugar Daddy.
516
00:31:04,663 --> 00:31:08,800
He creates a profile for
a 14-year-old boy named Bryan.
517
00:31:09,434 --> 00:31:12,337
The email address I set up
is BryanBoiCurious,
518
00:31:12,437 --> 00:31:14,606
and I'm painting the picture
that he is curious
519
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:16,908
about where he is
in his sexuality.
520
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:21,813
I reply to the ad, "Well,
I'm 14. I'll be 15 in November."
521
00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:23,949
Any adult that saw
a response like this
522
00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:26,752
would know immediately,
"Hold up, this is a kid,
523
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:28,754
this is illegal,"
and they would walk away.
524
00:31:29,154 --> 00:31:33,458
I get a reply, and it says,
"No, I'm not OK with it.
525
00:31:33,625 --> 00:31:36,428
"You can be absolutely gorgeous,
but it isn't worth jail
526
00:31:36,595 --> 00:31:40,298
to be with a hot young stud.
Sorry, I'm Marty, by the way."
527
00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:43,068
On one side of this,
he's acknowledging,
528
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:44,569
"I know this is wrong,
529
00:31:44,669 --> 00:31:46,772
I know this is illegal,
I could go to jail."
530
00:31:46,872 --> 00:31:49,674
But on the flip side of it,
he's very interested.
531
00:31:50,075 --> 00:31:52,911
When you see the messages
from these predatory types,
532
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:54,813
they know it's wrong,
533
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:57,682
and they know they have to be
very cryptic in what they say.
534
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,952
Marty brings up
that he wants to transition
535
00:32:01,052 --> 00:32:02,621
from email
over to text messaging,
536
00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:05,624
and that is absolutely
a home run for me.
537
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,527
Now, I've got his phone number.
538
00:32:08,627 --> 00:32:10,796
He fully believes
I'm a 14-year-old boy,
539
00:32:10,896 --> 00:32:15,500
and we go from there.
540
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:16,802
As soon as we start texting,
541
00:32:16,968 --> 00:32:18,603
Marty sends me a
picture of himself.
542
00:32:19,638 --> 00:32:21,306
And knowing what
Marty looks like,
543
00:32:21,473 --> 00:32:24,009
or is purporting to look like,
is a big advantage for me.
544
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:25,844
The flipside to getting
a picture from Marty
545
00:32:26,011 --> 00:32:27,479
is that within a few hours,
546
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:29,414
he wants to know
what Bryan looks like,
547
00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:32,317
and he needs validation
that this is a real kid.
548
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:35,720
Tony enlists
Officer Bobby Taylor
549
00:32:35,821 --> 00:32:37,756
to bring the character
of Bryan to life.
550
00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:41,359
I first
met Tony in the academy.
551
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:43,728
He came to teach us about
552
00:32:43,829 --> 00:32:45,864
the Internet Crimes
Against Children unit.
553
00:32:46,031 --> 00:32:49,601
During that time
is when he asked if
554
00:32:49,768 --> 00:32:51,036
any of us would be willing
555
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:53,238
to work with him
once we finished training.
556
00:32:53,338 --> 00:32:54,873
I was 23,
557
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,009
I still looked pretty closely
to what I did in high school,
558
00:32:58,109 --> 00:33:02,480
and so I took him some of my
pictures from when I was a kid.
559
00:33:03,682 --> 00:33:06,318
So the profile picture
that I send him of Bryan,
560
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:08,286
which is actually Bobby
at that age,
561
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,121
is a really big hit with Marty.
562
00:33:10,222 --> 00:33:12,357
Right off the bat,
he escalates things.
563
00:33:19,197 --> 00:33:22,801
Marty's tone and
what he's saying is his way
564
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:24,736
of trying to normalize
the deviance
565
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:27,806
that he wants to interject,
and that's just another example
566
00:33:27,906 --> 00:33:30,375
of the grooming process
and his power and control.
567
00:33:33,445 --> 00:33:36,481
September 17th of 2014,
Marty sends me a message.
568
00:33:36,581 --> 00:33:38,950
He says to me "We'll only
do what you feel up to.
569
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:40,919
"I don't think kissing
is illegal.
570
00:33:41,019 --> 00:33:43,388
We can go back to my place
and kiss and talk."
571
00:33:44,322 --> 00:33:46,024
He wants to come across
like it's innocent,
572
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:49,060
but it doesn't really emphasize
what he's really wanting to do,
573
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:52,597
and how wildly inappropriate
something like that would be
574
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:54,833
between a guy in his fifties
and a 14-year-old kid.
575
00:33:55,934 --> 00:33:58,203
Marty's really clear in the
messages about meeting,
576
00:33:58,303 --> 00:34:00,171
to make sure that
I don't tell any adults.
577
00:34:00,605 --> 00:34:03,174
"Your mom will
never find out about me."
578
00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:05,777
But he's still nervous,
so he messages me.
579
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:08,713
"OK, I have to ask this to
protect myself--
580
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:12,250
"you're not a cop, and you don't
work for the police, right?
581
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:15,287
Because I'm not a cop,
and I don't work for them."
582
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:17,956
I just reassure him.
583
00:34:19,658 --> 00:34:21,860
I mean, this is really classic
predator behavior, right?
584
00:34:22,027 --> 00:34:24,796
This guy is scared, obviously.
585
00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:26,831
He's having some
very rational thoughts,
586
00:34:27,432 --> 00:34:28,833
but that doesn't deter him.
587
00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:34,005
So I need to get
Marty identified.
588
00:34:34,105 --> 00:34:36,675
I kick off legal process
to the cell provider,
589
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:38,977
and while I'm
waiting for that to happen,
590
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:42,280
Marty messages me just after
6 o'clock the next morning.
591
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,483
"Good morning, my boy.
I hope you slept well.
592
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:47,085
"I thought about you
a lot last night,
593
00:34:47,185 --> 00:34:48,553
and this morning
when I woke up,"
594
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,289
and just really out of nowhere,
he sends me a picture
595
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:52,991
of his white Chevy Silverado.
596
00:34:53,425 --> 00:34:54,793
There's this gotcha moment
597
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,429
because his license plate's
in the actual photo.
598
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:58,997
I run this plate
through the DMV,
599
00:34:59,164 --> 00:35:00,565
and I come back
with a full name.
600
00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:04,069
Jack Marty Taylor, 59-year-old
male from Dallas, Texas.
601
00:35:04,235 --> 00:35:05,236
So Taylor's not married.
602
00:35:05,403 --> 00:35:07,205
He has no criminal history
I can find,
603
00:35:07,305 --> 00:35:09,708
and he has no access
to kids that I can find.
604
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:12,978
In order for this case
to move forward
605
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:15,080
and me to put a charge
onto Taylor,
606
00:35:15,246 --> 00:35:16,848
I need a couple of things
to happen.
607
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:20,885
One, I need him to set up
a specific date and time
608
00:35:20,986 --> 00:35:22,520
for when this meeting
will happen,
609
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:25,724
and then two, I need him
to show what his intentions are.
610
00:35:25,991 --> 00:35:28,793
Does he want to have a sexual
relationship with this child?
611
00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:30,996
And if so, it's game on.
612
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:34,566
It takes about three months,
613
00:35:34,666 --> 00:35:38,003
but eventually, Marty gives me
exactly what we're looking for.
614
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:40,839
Marty's message
615
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:43,375
reveals his true intentions
towards Bryan.
616
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,815
This guy's
a real danger to minors.
617
00:35:50,915 --> 00:35:52,584
I need to lock in a date
for him to meet,
618
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:54,519
so I can arrest him,
and charge him,
619
00:35:54,619 --> 00:35:56,921
and eventually get him convicted
and put in prison.
620
00:36:03,194 --> 00:36:06,231
Tony prepares to take
down predator Marty Taylor,
621
00:36:06,398 --> 00:36:09,134
using a fellow police officer
as bait.
622
00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:14,372
The use of a live decoy
is not such a hurdle to get over
623
00:36:14,472 --> 00:36:16,474
because the person that
we're using is a police officer.
624
00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:17,842
The biggest threat to that
625
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,612
is if our bad guy shows up
and kind of realizes,
626
00:36:20,712 --> 00:36:22,714
"Wait a minute,
that's not a real kid."
627
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:25,050
Marty needs validation
628
00:36:25,150 --> 00:36:27,719
that what he believes
in his mind right now,
629
00:36:27,819 --> 00:36:29,554
which is he's got
the pot of gold,
630
00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:32,424
which is why I asked Bobby
to help me in this case.
631
00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:38,663
Tony tells me
he needs me to decoy,
632
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:41,266
and he's going to need me
to dress up as a kid,
633
00:36:41,433 --> 00:36:45,203
because this guy is very eager,
but very cautious.
634
00:36:47,472 --> 00:36:49,207
This is the spot
where I tell Marty
635
00:36:49,307 --> 00:36:50,708
to come over and meet Bryan.
636
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:54,112
My intention is to put him right
out in the middle of this field.
637
00:36:54,779 --> 00:36:57,749
You wanted me on this side
of the field,
638
00:36:57,916 --> 00:36:59,551
so there was distance between us
639
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:01,486
where you thought he
was going to park.
640
00:37:01,586 --> 00:37:04,089
The advantage of having
Marty meet Bryan over here
641
00:37:04,189 --> 00:37:05,690
is a bunch of things.
642
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:08,793
The drive to come in, just
a one way in and one way out.
643
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:11,396
We have good coverage
for surveillance units.
644
00:37:11,563 --> 00:37:14,666
If Marty starts to freak out,
he has nowhere to go.
645
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:17,602
The moment you said,
"Hey, he's en route,"
646
00:37:17,702 --> 00:37:20,038
that's when
the nerves kicked in.
647
00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:22,474
And all I could think of was,
648
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,576
"I am the most junior guy
in this operation.
649
00:37:24,676 --> 00:37:26,411
I can't mess this up."
650
00:37:32,617 --> 00:37:35,754
Marty's pickup
pulls in at 4:15 p.m.
651
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,226
Marty starts flashing his lights
at me to let me know it's him.
652
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:42,927
And I remember freezing.
653
00:37:44,863 --> 00:37:47,465
Tony tells me,
"Pretend you're texting."
654
00:37:47,632 --> 00:37:50,602
As I'm walking towards him,
I get about halfway.
655
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:52,971
And at that point,
as I see red and blue lights,
656
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:55,573
I take off running and I hide.
657
00:37:55,673 --> 00:37:57,976
So I give the team
the order to take him down.
658
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:01,279
Two squad cars
race across the parking lot
659
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:02,947
to block Marty's escape.
660
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:16,027
I think he's in a degree
of shock at that moment
661
00:38:16,194 --> 00:38:18,196
because of
everything that's happened,
662
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:21,366
the culmination of this,
the gravity of this now.
663
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:23,401
He's in handcuffs,
he's in the back of a squad car.
664
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:27,839
And so his mind is racing
a million miles an hour.
665
00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:49,227
When Marty
gets into custody, he's sort of
666
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:51,729
pleading his innocence
and that he's a nice guy,
667
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:53,832
just trying to help.
Nothing's happened.
668
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:58,469
The reality is, he knows
full well what he was doing.
669
00:39:37,008 --> 00:39:40,511
So he's sort of minimizing
things with partial truths,
670
00:39:40,678 --> 00:39:42,313
but he's also telling
partial lies.
671
00:40:01,032 --> 00:40:03,935
The reality is that's an
online solicitation of a minor.
672
00:40:37,235 --> 00:40:40,538
Marty tells me in his confession
that he lost control.
673
00:40:40,638 --> 00:40:43,174
Ultimately,
he was doing what it is
674
00:40:43,274 --> 00:40:45,610
he really, truly wanted to do,
675
00:40:45,710 --> 00:40:48,880
and would have done had there
been no police intervention.
676
00:40:56,254 --> 00:40:59,691
The Taylor case shows that boys
as well as girls are at risk
677
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,426
from online predators.
678
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:06,230
In fact, one in 20 boys is
a victim of child sexual abuse.
679
00:41:07,098 --> 00:41:10,201
Parents need to show their kids
that they're approachable,
680
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:13,771
and that their kids can talk to
them about important life stuff.
681
00:41:14,305 --> 00:41:17,308
Because if a kid
feels different or lonely,
682
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:19,877
like my undercover identity
Bryan did,
683
00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:23,014
their mixture of
vulnerability and curiosity
684
00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:24,682
puts them at a higher risk
685
00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:27,118
of being targeted
by an online predator.
