Kleider Enrique Garcia Ochoa 14.09.2026 33минChris asks every predator the same question: what would have happened if we weren't here? This case answers it. March 31, 2025. Livingston Parish, Louisiana. By day, 30-year-old Kleider Enrique Garcia Ochoa washes dishes at a local restaurant. Online, he's sending explicit photos to a boy he believes is 15, pressing for nudes, and asking one telling question: are your parents home? Minutes later he walks into the sting house carrying a bag with condoms, car keys, and a Venezuelan passport. Through a translation app, Chris gets lie after lie. He's 25. No, 27. He has a green card. The boy was an adult. Then Ochoa bolts, and he doesn't get far. What surfaced after the cuffs went on was worse. He was in the country illegally, reportedly tied to the Tren de Aragua gang, and the car he drove to the house was part of a suspected human trafficking operation under Homeland Security investigation. Last week, he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, followed by deportation.

"I Don't Know Who That Is" 07.09.2026 37минMichael Rhodes did seventeen years in the Louisiana prison system for dealing meth. Hard labor, hard time, the kind that's supposed to take. A year out and working a forklift, he spent two days sending explicit messages to someone who told him she was fifteen - then drove up to a sting house on the river in Livingston Parish in shorts and a tank top for the date. The decoy who let him in works at the parish jail by day. She had him talking about his own record before Chris ever came through the door. Rhodes says he was just talking. In this part of the country, that's a felony. There's a condom in his wallet, a machete in his car, and a fifteen-year-old daughter at home - the same age as the girl he showed up to see. Asked what should happen to him, he finally says something true. Last week he pleaded guilty. Seven years. This time he doesn't go back as a drug dealer. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lieutenant 31.08.2026 52минHe ran presidential motorcades. He escorted foreign heads of state through the streets of Washington. And for a month and a day, Lieutenant Matthew Mahl of the D.C. Metropolitan Police — 47 years old, 23 years on the job — groomed a boy he believed was fifteen. He talked about soccer games and homework. He talked about Italy, about schools over there, about a life together after he retired. He sent photos of himself in uniform. He sent photos from the fold-out couch in his office at police headquarters. He knew the age of consent in Maryland was sixteen, and he admitted to the boy he had everything to lose. Then he took the day off and drove ninety minutes to a house in Harford County where he thought the fifteen-year-old was home alone. Chris and Detective Chris Sergeant, the investigator who worked the chats, walks through the sheriff's report line by line, and watches from inside the sting house as a SWAT team cuts the lieutenant off in the driveway. What follows is a confrontation with a man who knows exactly how this works — and says nothing but eight words, over and over. A badge, a security clearance, and a secret a foreign intelligence service would have paid dearly for.

He Screened Passengers by Day. Hunted Children by Night. 24.08.2026 39минEdmundo Da Silva wore a TSA badge. He was trusted at the front line of American aviation security — until February 2024, when he got in his car in North Carolina, kids' birthday presents in the back seat, and spent the drive to Florida trolling Reddit for something else entirely. What he found was a "father" offering up his 15-year-old daughter in a Polk County hotel room. What was actually waiting for him was the Polk County Sheriff's Office - and Chris’s cameras. In this episode, Chris walks you through the chat logs, the takedown, and the courtroom collapse: the fake name, the $80 handoff, the room key, the screaming arrest, the "entrapment" defense, and the plea deal Da Silva turned down before a jury needed just 20 minutes to convict him on all counts. Now he's facing life.

When he saw Chris, he screamed like a little b*tch! 17.08.2026 45минHe knew she was 15. He came anyway. Titus Miles thought he was careful. The 34-year-old Baton Rouge mechanic circled his target slowly - no talk of school, no small talk, just a man "sniffing around" a girl he believed was 15. He hesitated. He second-guessed. He even admitted, "I should have trusted how I felt earlier." Then he drove to the sting house anyway. In this episode, Chris breaks down the Livingston Parish sting that ended with Miles sentenced to two years in prison and a lifetime on the sex offender registry - from the detective who ran the chats to the young deputy decoys who gave him every chance to walk away. Plus: Chris takes on a listener question about the evidence conveniently left out of the "Predators" documentary, and weighs in on Hollywood's take on his story - the upcoming film "Primetime," starring Robert Pattinson as Chris himself.

The Double Life of Ivan Walters 10.08.2026 42минA respected Department of Defense contractor. A security clearance. A wife and children. And a secret life that finally caught up with him. This week, Chris confronts Ivan Walters, a 43-year-old government employee who drove to meet someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy for sex. But the sting uncovers far more than disturbing online chats—it reveals a man who had already been investigated for sending explicit images to a minor, undergone therapy, and still returned to the same dangerous behavior. As Walters tries to explain the unexplainable, Chris presses him on the devastating consequences of the choices he made, the family he betrayed, and the children he put at risk.

"I Entertained It": The Vacation That Ended in a Florida Prison Cell 03.08.2026 39минFor 30 years, Derman Kenneth Thomas clocked in at a Georgia zipper plant. Clean record. Wife. Grown kid. Then one night in Ocala, Florida - bored in a motel off the interstate - he opened a hookup app. The girl said she was 14. She told him five times. He didn't log off. He asked where her parents were. Chris takes you inside the Marion County sting that put the 55-year-old face-down at midnight, surrounded by tasers and drawn guns just two hours after his first text. The chat logs. The "proof of life" photos. The phone call where Thomas said exactly what he wanted. The Motel 6 pickup plan. Then the interrogation, where Thomas reaches for every excuse in the playbook and keeps landing on one word: he "entertained" it. As if getting caught erases the intent. He turned down a plea deal, gambled on a jury, and lost: guilty on all counts. Ten years in Florida state prison. Plus: a record 58 arrests in six days, how hookup apps turned kids into a "shopping market.” Sponsored by: Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

Two Happy Meals and a Jar of Weed: The 62-Year-Old Who Knew Better 27.07.2026 37минHe bought two Happy Meals. He wasn't meeting an adult. 62-year-old John Coughlin walked up a quiet driveway in Iron Mountain, Michigan carrying kids' meals and a jar of marijuana for what he believed was a 14-year-old girl. What he found instead was Chris and the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office. In this episode, Chris takes you inside his sting operation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that netted seven predators, and Coughlin's case is the one that rattled him. A laundromat manager and one-time country club cook, Coughlin sent explicit videos to the decoy, asked if she was "420 friendly," and showed up ready. And here's the chilling part: he'd ALREADY been caught once. A live warrant from a Shelby Township sting was sitting in the system while he trolled other underage girls' photos online. His excuse? "Bored and lonely." His admission? "I knew better than this." He did. He came anyway.

The Doctor Will See You Now 20.07.2026 48минHe took an oath to do no harm. Then he drove to a house where he believed a 15-year-old girl was waiting alone. Dr. Mansoor Ahmed spent his days as a trusted nephrologist in New Orleans. But when Chris's team set up a sting in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, a very different man walked through the door. The chat logs were explicit. The intent was unmistakable. And when confronted, Ahmed reached for an excuse Chris had never heard in decades of these investigations: he claimed a child had bullied him into coming. In this episode, Hansen walks through the decoy conversations line by line, exposing how Ahmed leveraged his medical credentials to groom his target — and dismantles every deflection the doctor throws at him. "You're sorry because you got caught," Chris tells him. The story doesn't end at the confrontation: after his arrest, Ahmed self-deported to Pakistan, raising hard questions about accountability, prosecution, and whether a predator with a passport ever really faces justice.

“Two Googly Eyes” 13.07.2026 42минIron Mountain, Michigan. The Upper Peninsula. Postcard country: pine trees, quiet streets, the kind of place where nothing bad is supposed to happen. But in three days, seven men came knocking at one unassuming sting house. This is the story of one of them. Kelsey Burbank is 29. He coordinates online orders at the local Walmart. By day, he's just another face in a small town. By night, he's "Two Googly Eyes" on Grindr, and he's been messaging someone he believes is a 15-year-old boy. He knows the age. He says he wishes he didn't. He keeps typing anyway. On the other end of his explicit two-hour chat? An undersheriff. What follows is a raw confrontation with Chris: the excuses, the deflection, the claim he was "just looking for friends." From first message to handcuffs to an 18-month sentence, this is the predatornext door - exposed.
