When he saw Chris, he screamed like a little b*tch!
Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 45:23
He 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
Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 42:42
A 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
Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 39:11
For 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.”

Two Happy Meals and a Jar of Weed: The 62-Year-Old Who Knew Better
Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 37:57
He 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
Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 48:52
He 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.
