01:00Police search warrant, come to the door
01:04She told me she was 13
01:06She's sweet
01:07She wanted me
01:09A team of police professionals
01:12In North Dallas has one goal
01:14Take down
01:15Online predators
01:17Before they harm a real child
01:20Child predators are
01:22Everywhere
01:22Online predators pose the biggest danger
01:25To America's children today
01:27Kids are being targeted at an alarming rate
01:31This team is opening
01:32Its case files for the first time
01:34To show you how it tracks them down
01:38Alright, he's coming this way
01:39And brings them to justice
01:42By any means necessary
01:46This is Detective Tony Godwin
01:49And his team is
01:50The Predator Hunters
01:55January 2024
01:57Tony and his team stop a dangerous predator
02:00In his tracks
02:01What a deviant
02:03What a twisted deviant
02:05He thinks he's meeting a 13-year-old girl
02:09For sex
02:13Even after his fantasy is smashed
02:18This repeat offender
02:20Refuses to face up to his crime
02:28They say lightning doesn't strike twice
02:31I know different
02:32This guy, Christopher Holloway
02:33He had a prior hands-on offense
02:35With a real child
02:36And he was already on
02:38The registered sex offender list
02:40He wanted to offend again
02:41And I wasn't going to let that happen
02:49In January of 2024
02:51I'm online in an undercover capacity
02:53Trolling a platform called Chat Hour
02:55Which is where a lot of predatory types
02:58Seem to congregate
03:00I start on Chat Hour
03:01With an undercover profile
03:03Of a 13-year-old female
03:04Named Sarah from North Texas
03:05The profile picture that I use
03:08For this Sarah account
03:09Is from one of my colleagues
03:10Who allows me to use her images
03:11From when she was 13
03:13My profile creation
03:14Makes it very, very clear
03:16This is a 13-year-old girl
03:18Once my profile is established
03:20I enter into a room for Texas
03:22And I just simply sit and wait
03:25I don't have to wait too long at all
03:27At 1.36 p.m.
03:29My Sarah profile
03:30Gets an instant message
03:31From a user named barnflyer55
03:33Are you into older guys?
03:35I mean, I can't believe this guy
03:37Like right off the bat
03:38He's just jumping in that quick
03:40What a huge red flag
03:41I don't have any option
03:43But to just kind of stay in character
03:44And I just reply back
03:45Yeah, I'm interested in older guys
03:50I tell him I'm 13
03:52Almost 14
03:53He tells me that he's in his 50s
03:56He acknowledges that my Sarah profile
03:58Kind of young
04:00Duh
04:0040 years younger
04:02What a deviant
04:03What a twisted deviant
04:06So this creepy guy
04:07Has got my attention
04:08But I'm going to give him a chance
04:09To do the right thing
04:10So I tell him
04:11We don't have to talk
04:12If we don't want to
04:13It's cool
04:13He probably should have walked away
04:15But he doesn't
04:17Then he hits me
04:18With a really creepy question
04:23I mean, what kind of response is this?
04:26We've barely been chatting
04:28And now this weirdo
04:29Is going to jump right into this
04:31Sexualized content
04:32Asking if a 13-year-old girl is a virgin?
04:35Holy crap
04:37Make no mistake
04:38The fact that this guy
04:39Is steering that conversation
04:40Sexual
04:41This dude's a predator
04:43He is the poster child for a predator
04:45You look that up in the dictionary
04:46You're going to find this guy
04:48We keep talking
04:49He's trying to keep his interest going
04:51And what he says in return
04:54Is unbelievable to me
04:59It's disgusting to think
05:00That in five minutes
05:01This guy is already talking
05:02About pleasuring himself
05:04Or playing with himself
05:05This guy is really classic
05:07Predatory moves so far
05:08Really fast
05:09I need to get a better look
05:10At who this guy is
05:12When I click on his profile
05:14It shows me that he's got
05:15Three publicly available photographs
05:19This is the dude
05:20That just told a 13-year-old girl
05:22That he's masturbating
05:23What a creep
05:26It's an older
05:27Very overweight
05:29White male
05:30So I take a look
05:31At his profile
05:32And it gives me
05:33Really specific stuff
05:34And he's in the Houston area
05:38While all this information
05:39Is really helpful
05:40And it's documented
05:41For evidence
05:42I need more
05:43I'd love to know
05:44This guy's name
05:44So for that
05:45I've got to keep
05:46This thing going
05:46And chatting with him
05:52Barnflyer's messages
05:53They just keep coming in
05:54And it's all
05:55Really great evidence
05:57But then it turns sexual again
06:00He's referring to a man's genitals
06:02And I tell him
06:03Absolutely not
06:04I'm 13
06:07I mean
06:07What an absolute pig
06:09This guy is
06:11But I'm going to use this
06:12As an opportunity
06:13To test
06:14And see if he's willing
06:14To travel
06:17And he says
06:18Yeah
06:18I am
06:19Later that day
06:20About 5.51 p.m.
06:21I get a message
06:22From him
06:23On chat hour
06:23The message he sends
06:25Is a friend request
06:26And now
06:26I can see those
06:27Private photos
06:31What I see
06:32Is utterly disgusting
06:35It is
06:36Naked photos
06:37Of the same dude
06:39Doing a selfie
06:40In a mirror
06:40Thinking that it looks
06:42Somehow sexy
06:43Or cute
06:43To show his genitalia
06:46He's just committed a crime
06:47He just transferred
06:48Obscene material
06:48To a minor
06:49I want to get this guy
06:50Identified
06:51And figure out
06:51Who he really is
06:52So I reach out
06:53To my co-worker
06:54Nick Sherry
06:54To help me out
06:55With that
06:57My name is
06:58Nicholas Sherry
06:59I'm a neighborhood
07:00Police officer
07:01And I've been working
07:01With Tony
07:02For about 5 years now
07:03Tony gets in touch
07:04With me
07:05To do some research
07:06On the social media
07:08Handle
07:09Barnflyer55
07:10I do some digging
07:12Through our law enforcement
07:13Databases
07:14And discover one name
07:16Christopher Holloway
07:18I researched
07:19All the Christopher
07:20Holloways
07:21In the state of Texas
07:21And I discovered
07:22A Christopher Holloway
07:24With the date of birth
07:25Of 11-23-1969
07:28I do a search
07:30On Christopher Holloway
07:31With that same date of birth
07:32And discover his photo
07:35On his driver's license
07:36Which matches the photo
07:39That he sent to Tony
07:43The vehicle that is registered
07:45To Holloway
07:46Is a black
07:46Ford pickup
07:47Once I've confirmed
07:49Who Christopher Holloway is
07:51I discover
07:51Something very serious
07:541989
07:55He was sentenced
07:56To a 5 year prison sentence
07:57For aggravated sexual assault
07:59Of a child
08:02He's on the
08:03Sexual offender registry
08:04For the rest of his life
08:08The fact that a guy
08:10Who's been through this system
08:11Has been convicted
08:13Went to prison
08:14Is now a registered
08:15Sex offender
08:15For life
08:16Is right back at it
08:18This guy
08:19Is clearly ready
08:20To offend again
08:21It's unacceptable
08:23On every human level
08:27In a best case scenario
08:28For me
08:29This guy travels
08:30From where he's at
08:31In Houston
08:31To where I'm at
08:32In North Texas
08:33I want to build
08:34A good solid case
08:35For prosecution
08:36So now
08:37I just need him
08:38To make the date and time
08:39And make it happen
08:42In my undercover capacity
08:44I work sometimes 24-7
08:46On duty
08:47Off duty
08:48At the house
08:48It's the necessary evil
08:50For this job
08:52We've been talking
08:53For like a couple of months now
08:54This guy's paranoia
08:56Is like
08:56Through the roof
08:58The next thing
08:59That he tells me
09:00Is that he wants to start
09:01Talking by regular messaging
09:02SMS messaging
09:03Between phones
09:04I give him my phone number
09:06For Sarah
09:06And that's just one
09:07Of my undercover numbers
09:08That I use for this job
09:11All of a sudden
09:11I get thrown a curveball
09:12That kind of has me scrambling
09:15He wants a video call
09:17Because he wants validation
09:18He wants to know
09:19In his own mind
09:20I really am talking
09:22To a 13-year-old girl
09:23But I completely ghost him
09:25And I go right through that
09:26And I tell him
09:28Well you do that first
09:29You show me around your place
09:30And guess what
09:32He does
09:33Okay
09:34One hallway here
09:35Then the front door there
09:38He starts to send me videos
09:40Showing me every part
09:42Of his house
09:42It's unbelievable
09:45In the bathroom
09:46In the kitchen
09:47Here
09:48This video gives me
09:49Really good evidence
09:50I mean
09:50One
09:51I hear the guy's voice
09:52It's kind of gravelly
09:53Or growly
09:54I don't really know
09:55What's going on with that
09:56My bed
09:58It's not in bed
09:59Of course
09:59He shows his bed
10:01And then
10:02The biggest thing
10:03I take away from this
10:04Is this TV
10:05Huge TV on the wall
10:06Probably 65 inches
10:08And all I see are cameras
10:10My huge ass TV
10:11Up on the wall
10:12Black truck is super helpful
10:13This is just confirmation
10:15On what Nick found
10:16On the DMV search
10:16For this guy
10:17This is gold
10:20This video ends
10:21In the bathroom
10:22And his camera's pointed
10:24Right at the mirror
10:25Which shows
10:25Him
10:26With no shirt on
10:28And black shorts
10:30If only this guy knew
10:32Who he was sending
10:33The videos to
10:34Don't worry
10:35He'll find out
10:36Soon enough
10:38After three months
10:40Of determined catfishing
10:41Detective Tony Godwin
10:43Finally gets
10:44Christopher Holloway
10:45To bite
10:47Holloway suggests
10:48That he and Sarah
10:49Meet
10:49For a date
10:55At this point
10:56He crossed this line
10:58To say he wanted to meet
10:59In person for sex
11:00Legally
11:01He just committed a crime
11:02That's great evidence
11:03For me to give
11:04To a prosecutor
11:06The problem is
11:07He's still super paranoid
11:09The next thing he says
11:11Promise me
11:12You're not some
11:12Police
11:13I mean sure
11:14You want me to promise
11:15I'm not a cop
11:15I'm not a cop
11:18The next thing he says
11:19I mean yeah
11:20You're young
11:21But you asked me
11:22To do this
11:23Now he wants to
11:24Shift the blame
11:25Over to this child
11:26You asked me
11:27To do this
11:28What an absolute
11:30Depraved
11:30Disgusting
11:32Creepy
11:32Nasty
11:34Evil
11:34Human being
11:35I am hyper focused
11:36To put Holloway away
11:40The next day
11:41Much to my surprise
11:42He tells me
11:43He's on his way
11:44To Dallas
11:44He lets me know
11:45In his text
11:45Which hotel
11:46He's staying in
11:49At 10.37pm
11:51I can see him
11:52On the CCTV
11:53For the hotel
11:54And he's clearly
11:55Intoxicated
11:58I'm questioning
11:59Whether this guy
12:00Is going to have
12:00The wherewithal
12:01To wake up
12:02And drive
12:02To the meeting
12:03Tomorrow
12:03He's baked
12:06I get the whole
12:06Team spun up
12:07And in place
12:08And let them
12:09Know what's going on
12:09I'm tired of
12:10Talking to this guy
12:11I'm ready to get
12:12His ass in jail
12:17Holloway sends a message
12:18And asks for the address
12:19Of where Sarah lives
12:20But then he's so
12:22Cautious and paranoid
12:23He's like
12:23How are we going
12:24To get away
12:25Without your nosy
12:25Neighbors seeing things
12:27So I just simply reply
12:28Why don't we meet
12:29At the gas station
12:30Right next door
12:31To the apartment
12:33By 9.30 in the morning
12:34On that Friday
12:35We've got everybody
12:36In place
12:37Surrounding that gas station
12:38We're ready to go
12:40The adrenaline's pumping
12:42Because we're
12:42We have a chance
12:43To take someone down
12:44That needs to be arrested
12:46I can't tell you
12:49How excited I am
12:50To get this guy
12:51Under arrest
12:53It's time to go
12:54I order the team
12:56Move in
12:57Make the arrest
12:58You guys about to move in
12:59Yeah we're moving down
13:02Are you sick man
13:03Get on here
13:04Run and get on

13:35Turn off my car
13:59J'ai utilisΓ© mon punch pour chasser la fenΓͺtre.
14:03Je vais enlever la fenΓͺtre.
14:04Je vais enlever la fenΓͺtre.
14:06Je vais enlever la fenΓͺtre.
14:09Je vais enlever la fenΓͺtre.
14:16Quand ils m'ont de l'entendre, ils ont de l'entendre avec la fenΓͺtre.
14:19Ce gars est Γ©norme, c'est Γ©norme.
14:23J'ai utilisΓ© mon punch.
14:25Il est son de l'entendre comme un sac de 400 lb de pote.
14:30Il est sur l'entendre.
14:31C'est Γ©norme.
14:34OUGH !
14:35OUGH !
14:36On a finalement accoutΓ©.
14:37On a finalement accueilli.
14:40OUGH !
14:40ET, calme d'un.
14:42Tu es un peu Γ  l'heure.
14:43Tu es en rest.
14:44Je suis en un peu Γ  l'heure.
14:46Tu es en rest pour un peu.
14:47Tu es un peu Γ  l'heure.
14:49Tu es une question.
14:50Tu es un peu Γ  l'heure.
14:54I'm not going to say any minor.
14:58The team executes a search warrant on Christopher Holloway's truck.
15:01And in that truck, they find a slip of paper with the address written down of where Sarah lived.
15:06In addition, they find condoms, Viagra, and lubricant.
15:11When I see this guy getting escorted away in handcuffs,
15:14like, I immediately have this, like, 5,000-foot view of it and think,
15:19this is a really bad guy.
15:21This is a dangerous guy.
15:22This guy is a sexual predator now two times over.
15:27If I hadn't got him into custody, there's no telling what kind of harm he could bring to a real
15:33kid.
15:33I know what you said.
15:35I haven't done anything wrong.
15:36Okay.
15:37Honestly.
15:38I haven't done anything.
15:39Detective, we'll be down there with you in a minute, all right?
15:42What's the truck?
15:43You have a truck.
15:44You should have just got to know.
15:46It would have been a lot easier.
15:47Why?
15:48I'm not doing anything wrong.
15:49I'm not doing anything wrong.
15:51Get down.
15:51I haven't done anything wrong.
15:56Holloway's escorted to a patrol car where he's going to be transported down to the jail for an interview.
16:11I hand over the interview duties to my colleague, Detective Sanger.
16:15Holloway openly talks about being a registered sex offender.
16:33He starts to play the blame game that because he's a registered sex offender, he's always targeted.
16:38to woe is me, I'm the poor wounded sex offender.
16:43So you don't want to talk to me anything, Chris?
16:44Sure.
16:53This guy is living in an absolute fantasy land.
16:57He has no idea what we've got on him or the fact that that ain't happening.
17:01and he ain't getting none of this tossed.
17:09This guy, Christopher Holloway, is already a registered sex offender.
17:13There are publicly available sites that tell you where registered sex offenders do live.
17:19be diligent, look at those websites, know who lives around you and in your community, and be aware of that.
17:30August 2010, Tony pursues a high school janitor with an appetite for adolescence.
17:38You, sir, are a pedophile.
17:41He thinks he's meeting a 14-year-old for ice cream and sex.
17:46Marco's sitting in his vehicle.
17:49But this is not going to be the date he was hoping for.
17:53You're not getting ice cream today, John.
17:58I've been doing this job a long time.
18:00I've got hundreds of these guys.
18:02This guy, John Markle, he's one I remember.
18:05He was so shameless in his approach, I knew he was a danger to real kids.
18:10We moved super quick, and within 48 hours, we had him in cuffs.
18:23This case started in August of 2010.
18:25Back then, the internet was a different beast.
18:27Social media platforms, chatting, they were just in their infancy stages.
18:32Yahoo chat rooms were really popular.
18:35Especially kids love being on there.
18:37But what that means is where kids are, predators are.
18:42I set up an undercover profile for a girl named Annalisa, and she's 14 from North Texas.
18:49I still have the screen recording from that group of messaging on Yahoo.
18:54Once I got the profile established, I go into the chat rooms.
18:57I don't initiate anything because I need a predator to set the tone and pace.
19:01So I just sit and wait to be contacted.
19:04You know, before I know it, I've got multiple conversations going on with multiple different users.
19:09Most of those end as soon as I let them know that I'm 14, because guess what?
19:13That's the right thing to do.
19:14Don't talk to children.
19:16But one, he keeps talking.
19:20It's clear to me that he responded to my username based on the age that I have in the username
19:24itself.
19:26He doesn't get deterred at all.
19:30I make it very clear that he's as old as my grandfather, but it still doesn't deter this guy.
19:35He clearly knows now in his own mind that he's talking to a 14-year-old girl.
19:39And so I ask him, like, what are you doing here?
19:43A woman.
19:43If he's looking for a woman, why is he talking to a 14-year-old girl?
19:48This guy's already given me the creeps, but then, without prompting, he just tells me what his location is.
19:56He's definitely laying the groundwork for wanting to meet.
20:00I mean, based on our conversation now, I really want to get an eye on what this guy looks like.
20:04So I ask him, how come you don't have a profile pic?
20:09This guy does a reversal.
20:11He does what I would normally do to him.
20:14He really wants to know that he's talking to a kid before he gives up what he looks like.
20:18The profile pic I have is really small on Yahoo Chat, so I need to send him some more.
20:23I already have photos in place with this profile from one of my colleagues,
20:28who has graciously given me her permission to use her photos from the age that I'm purporting to be for
20:34these undercover cases.
20:37As soon as he tells me how good I look, he sends one of himself to me.
20:42He's got a scorpion tattoo on his arm.
20:46That's something really pretty unique.
20:49Yeah, you really could get in trouble.
20:51I'm trouble for you.
20:53You just don't know it yet.
20:57Thirty minutes into this conversation, and this guy is already turning the conversation sexual.
21:02Well, sir, that's really pretty forward.
21:05You do know I'm only 14, right?
21:10What a romantic.
21:12I just have to play along with it, and I do.
21:23The fact that he specifically mentions he's not a pedophile,
21:27everything I've seen over the last hour tells me quite the opposite.
21:31You, sir, are a pedophile.
21:34So to keep it going, I ask him what he's doing today.
21:37His reply causes me a lot of concern.
21:42And immediately, alarm bells are going off in my head.
21:45I'm thinking here, I have a child predator who's arranged his work life
21:49to be in a school around small children?
21:53Wow, huge red flag.
21:55Does he have access to real kids?
21:56Are real kids in danger?
21:57Like, the urgency for me just went to the top of the list.
22:02Couple hours into this conversation, and now this guy wants to go on a date.
22:07I mean, what does this guy think?
22:08A 59-year-old dude with a 14-year-old girl, and he wants to go on a date?
22:12But I'm on this case, and I'm determined to take him down.
22:18The morning after our first day of chat, I'm working from home for a little while.
22:21And when I open up my computer, I see this barrage of, like, unanswered messages
22:26that have come in from this guy.
22:29I mean, this guy's really desperate, so I'm going to throw him a bone, try to keep him
22:33on the hook.
22:36That's my verbal seduction tactic right there.
22:39I envision he's like, she loves me.
22:44Right away, he's right back at me.
22:46So later that day, I decide to ask him about that scorpion tattoo on his arm, and he tells
22:51me it's a star sign.
22:52He's a Scorpio.
22:53So I ask him about his birthday, and he tells me October 26th.
22:58If, in fact, that's true, having a date of birth like that is going to go a long way
23:02to help get this guy identified.
23:04At this point, I need him to arrange a meeting in person, and then bingo, it comes.
23:18I suggest that he can come over and meet me at my apartment, but this seems to kind of
23:22spook him.
23:25So I suggest the movie theater.
23:28Then he offers to buy me ice cream.
23:30This guy's kind of sickening, right?
23:32He's going to lure a child to buy her an ice cream cone?
23:35Ooh, super creepy.
23:38He's moving really fast.
23:39We've been chatting 48 hours, and we're now at this stage.
23:42I've got to scramble to get a team together.
23:44Before the chat ends, he gives me some vital information.
23:48He gives me his name.
23:50That'll help us get you identified properly.
23:54Since this guy's willing to give out useful information, I'm going to ask him for some
23:57more.
24:00He tells me a silver Hyundai Santa Fe.
24:03Now we know what to look for.
24:05Awesome.
24:07Tony enlists Detective Clint McNeer to help unmask the grade school ghoul.
24:14So Tony tells us what we have so far.
24:16We've got a name of John.
24:19We know that he's a janitor.
24:21We know that he's 59 years old.
24:23And he gives us a date of birth of October the 26th.
24:27That's going to give us his year of birth.
24:29John was born in 1950.
24:31So I run these two key pieces of evidence through the police database, and we get a hit.
24:37John George Markle, 59 years old.
24:41Date of birth, October 26th, 1950.
24:44The photo on the driver's license matches the photo that he sent to Tony.
24:49The address on his driver's license comes back at Lake Ray Hubbard.
24:53He also told Tony he lives near the lake.
24:56With this hit, we've got our guy, and I'll let Tony know.
25:05Tony and his team are in position to take down a school janitor who believes he's meeting a minor for
25:12ice cream and sex.
25:15This is Detective Godwin.
25:16We are at the movie theater.
25:17We are here to effect the arrest of one John Markle.
25:22This is a photo of a vehicle similar to what he described in an internet chat log.
25:27We will have units parked all around the theater, unmarked, as well as officers staged inside the movie theater itself.
25:34Mr. Markle is believing to come to the theater to meet up with a 14-year-old female for the
25:39purposes of a sexual relationship.
25:43Clint and I are set up in the parking lot where Markle arrives.
25:47It's 3.32 p.m.
25:51We're here in front of the movie theater.
25:55It's Mr. Markle sitting in his vehicle.
25:59You can see that he's looking down the street towards Cold Stone Creamery,
26:04which is one of the places he had mentioned visiting or meeting the victim at.
26:12Is he watching the store or us?
26:15He's looking both directions.
26:21We have eyes on him.
26:23Yeah, I think internally his little hamster is running full speed and he's like,
26:26man, I'm going to meet this girl and I'm going to get her ice cream and then I'm going to
26:29take her home
26:30and I'm going to do something sexual to her.
26:32That's what I think is going on in his mind.
26:34Take down moments are the most stressful part for me because there's so many things that could go wrong.
26:40These are really unknown situations.
26:42Like, granted, we can see this guy sitting in a car smoking a cigarette,
26:45but we don't know what kind of threat he is.
26:47Like, he could have a gun in there, he could have a knife.
26:49So I'm continually communicating with my take down team.
26:52And once I know everybody where they are in position, I give the order to take him down.
26:58I've got my gun out.
26:59You've got to be ready.
27:06This is Detective Godwin.
27:08This is the arrest of Mr. Merkel.
27:13I enjoy snatching a sick person out of their car and stopping them from what they think they're about to
27:17do.
27:20We've definitely caught John Markle with his OODA loop all jacked up.
27:23He's so off guard, he has no idea what's going on.
27:26Now he's sworn by cops.
27:30The vehicle he drove is exactly what he said he'd be driving, a silver Hyundai Santa Fe.
27:36I'll get a license plate on it here in a moment.
27:40He'll be transported to the police department and booked into the jail at that location.
27:46You're not getting ice cream today, John.
27:48You'll be lucky if you get in time to get a bologna sandwich.
27:53In the interview with John Markle, he freely admits he was there to meet a minor.
27:57I believe if he had not got taken down by the cops and a real kid would have shown up
28:02for that ice cream,
28:03he would have absolutely 1,000% bought her the ice cream, took her somewhere, and sexually abused her.
28:16The team's next case focuses on this man.
28:21I'm glad you chose to join us here for worship.
28:24To his congregation, he's their devoted pastor.
28:28Now let us celebrate Christ's resurrection as we worship together.
28:32Online, he's sending pornographic images to a child.
28:36He sends pictures of himself, and his genitals are visible in every picture.
28:41And when his crimes catch up with him...
28:44Police! Search warrant!
28:46...this predator begs for forgiveness.
28:49Can we make this day go away? It never happened.
28:53Many predators lead a double life.
28:55They have a public persona that seems completely normal, but then they have a darker side.
29:00That was never more true than with this guy, Gregory Barnes.
29:05This guy had access to real children.
29:08We had to act fast and take him down.
29:20My colleague, Brandon Poore, he ran point on this case.
29:24He drove it and brought me in to help.
29:27In July of 2020, I go on an application called Antiland, which is a chat platform that has a deleting
29:35message feature.
29:36It is designed to keep a user anonymous, and that tends to lend itself very well for someone who's a
29:43predator looking to harm children.
29:45I log in to my profile, which is KylieGirl13TX.
29:52I get a message from a user named Greg, who says, Hi, Kylie.
29:58I click on his profile. It tells me a little bit of information about him.
30:02And what I see is he's in the 55-plus age range.
30:08Right away, he wants to know how old I am, and I tell him I'm 13 years old.
30:15It certainly sends up a red flag because the normal people we talk to in those circumstances tell us,
30:22You're way too young. Don't ever message me again.
30:25And then he wants to know if I like talking to old men.
30:29And pretty quickly, he turns things sexual.
30:34It's clear in my mind now, he's a degenerate sexual predator looking for a kid to harm.
30:39And now it's my job to take him out of circulation.
30:44Detective Brandon Poore is in pursuit of a 60-year-old predator.
30:49He asked me for a picture of myself, and in order to do that, we have to do it somewhere
30:54off of the Antiland platform.
30:56So he sends me his cell phone number.
31:00A cell phone number sometimes gives us a way to track down who this person really is.
31:04I send a photo of a colleague of mine that's given me permission to use her pictures.
31:09And the benefit of that is I actually get one in return from him.
31:14He's a middle-aged guy with a gray beard and glasses.
31:17I now have a clear idea of who I'm talking to.
31:23What's concerning is he's telling me that he's already talked to younger girls like me before.
31:29Yeah, I think you're a bad guy.
31:31I think you're the definition of a predator.
31:33You're someone who's 60 years old talking in a sexual way to a kid.
31:41And then, unexpectedly, he reveals something that I would have never thought of.
31:49He tells me he's talking to a guy who likes sissy men.
31:56What?
32:00What 13-year-old knows what a sissy man and a dominant man are?
32:06I think he's just lost it.
32:09Then he sends me pictures of himself in lingerie.
32:14For the most part, his genitals are visible in every picture.
32:20And if I didn't think it could get worse, then he sends me pictures and videos of sex toys
32:26and videos of the use of these sex toys as well.
32:34He's sending me all of these extremely graphic pictures.
32:39At this point, it's a good idea to get an analyst involved,
32:43and that's where KV can come in trying to find out who this person really is.
32:48So Brandon gives me a phone number, and he's hoping that I can run this phone number in our database
32:53and get him some information back.
32:54And I do get full subscriber information for this cell phone number.
33:00What I get is a Gregory Kent Barnes, and he's a 60-year-old white male.
33:05He lives in Glen Rose, Texas, which is about 75 miles southwest of Dallas.
33:10Our database has also given me a good photo back.
33:16This photo does match the photos that he has sent to Brandon in their chats.
33:23I do an internet search on Gregory Barnes, and I find one of the most shocking and perhaps worse things
33:28that I can find out.
33:29As we begin our Palm Sunday service, let me share a few verses out of the Psalms with you.
33:35He's actually a minister at a local church.
33:39Talk about a hypocrite.
33:41I think of him as a wolf in shepherd's clothing.
33:45She's supposed to be a man of God.
33:46I'm glad you chose to join us here for worship.
33:49And he's talking to a 13-year-old in indescribable ways.
33:56There's one message that really concerns me.
34:04He's got access to kids, and with what he's talked about, watching girls at the pool, that's a huge problem
34:11for me.
34:13On July 20th, 2020, I'm talking about normal, everyday life.
34:23And he suggests that maybe he'll come pick me up.
34:26I think, okay, this is going to be a meet, and we're going to plan a takedown.
34:31But then he expresses to me that he's always a little nervous about meeting someone online in real life.
34:37And so he requests something that is pretty common, a proof pick.
34:43He wants me to hold up a sign with his name on it.
34:47My coworker has given me pictures already and agrees to take this picture to prove that I'm a real kid.
34:54Brandon is unable to reveal the photos of his fellow officer.
34:57He uses them today in ongoing child predator cases.
35:05He's very excited.
35:08He's absolutely convinced he's grooming and talking to a real child.
35:13His intentions are clear.
35:20Then he tells me he's going to come to Dallas.
35:23I know that he's a danger based on what he's been sending me, but also he has access to real
35:29kids.
35:29I make one last decision.
35:31I'm not going to wait for him to come to me.
35:33I'm going to go to him.
35:43Detectives Tony Godwin and Brandon Poor are about to swoop in on the home of 60-year-old preacher predator
35:50Greg Barnes.
35:56Police search warrant. Come to the door.
35:59Nobody's answering the door. They're banging loudly. They're announcing police search warrant.
36:04That really kind of ups the anxiety for everybody there.
36:08We have no idea what's going on behind closed doors.
36:11They could be deleting evidence. They could be retrieving weapons.
36:13So it's really a tense moment.
36:17Come out. Come out.
36:18Open the door. Come here. Come here. Come here.
36:20Step outside. Step out. Step out.
36:22Right now.
36:24Who else is in the house?
36:27Eventually the door opens and there's Barnes.
36:29He's kind of looking a little haggard and bewildered.
36:33We pull him and his family out before we go in and start conducting a search.
36:41What's that smell in there? Barber?
36:47We're able to recover nine devices capable of connecting to the internet and a bag of goodies.
36:53Women's underwear, lingerie, sex toys.
36:57I start conducting on-scene forensic examinations of some of the electronic devices while Tony's interviewing Mr. Barnes.
37:05Mr. Barnes? Yes.
37:07Hey, I'm Detective Godwin. I'm on the North Texas ICAC Task Force, so I'll be having a talk with you
37:11here in a few minutes.
37:12Barnes is wearing a mask because it's 2020 and we're right in the middle of the pandemic.
37:17I'm not infected, I promise.
37:19I'm not worried. No COVID.
37:20I'm not worried.
37:21There we go.
37:23I really want Barnes to talk to me and open up, and so I just kind of play it slow
37:27and see how it goes.
37:30You have an opportunity to do the right thing. That's just what it boils down to.
37:35I know that what I'm here to look at is called online solicitation of a minor.
37:39It's a little hard to read because he's buying a mask, obviously, but look at his eyes. Like, this guy's
37:43blinking like a hundred times a second.
37:46All I see initially here is fear.
37:48Is there a kid out there that we should be concerned about?
37:53Possibly, yes.
37:54Okay. Can you tell me who that person is?
37:57Her name is Kylie.
37:59That's a girl?
38:00Yeah, don't have a last name.
38:01And how old is Kylie?
38:02She told me she was 13.
38:0413.
38:05Okay.
38:06Did you send her any photos?
38:09What kind of photos did you send them?
38:12Okay, like nude photos.
38:15You sent her pictures of your penis.
38:17Did you have an erection?
38:20I assume I am.
38:21Okay.
38:22I mean, listen to what this guy is saying.
38:25He just admitted to a crime.
38:27Transferred obscene material to a minor?
38:29Kids became a bit of a fixation, it sounds like, just from communications and whatnot.
38:35For pleasure, I try to talk to a ton of many governors, that kind of thing.
38:41Okay.
38:42Because sometimes, if you can talk to somebody that's more innocent, it kind of makes you, if you can tell
38:49them you've done something and they don't judge you for it, it somehow makes you feel like maybe not such
38:54a horrible person.
38:55You just could say you're a nice guy.
38:58Think of what this guy just admitted to, that he sends his penis pictures to a 13-year-old child
39:04and all of the sexual content so that he seems like less of a horrible person in his own mind.
39:10Like, what kind of paradigm is this guy operating in, that he can do this and then out of, like
39:17at the flip of a switch, go right to church and preach in front of a congregation?
39:21She's sweet.
39:22She's sweet to talk to.
39:24She wanted me.
39:25I said we would.
39:27I never intended to.
39:28He never intended to?
39:30Really?
39:31Like you never intended to send her deviant, sexually graphic videos and images?
39:37With sex toys?
39:40Bro, you are unhinged.
39:44Well, she sent me a photograph holding, hi Greg.
39:46She was just sitting down in jeans and a t-shirt or whatever.
39:50Right.
39:50Covered right here so I could see a little bit of her eyes.
39:53Oh, I got you.
39:54You know, just to say she did.
39:55Got you.
39:56Something she wanted to do to show that maybe she was a real person, that that was who she actually
40:00was.
40:00I got you.
40:01And we still talk about meeting or something like that.
40:03Oh yeah, we can really meet now because you're real and that kind of thing.
40:05Meeting for sex though.
40:07Because that's what we talked about and that's what she wanted to talk about.
40:10We now have a full admission of the true intent of Gregory Barnes to come and show up and have
40:17sex with a minor.
40:19Can we make this day go away and it happened?
40:22This my friend is your cross to bear right now.
40:25While you would love to hit that rewind button to make this day go away, that is simply not going
40:30to happen.
40:31It's never going away.
40:42Immediately after questioning Gregory Barnes, Tony and Brandon visit the leader of his church
40:47to inform him of the situation.
40:51So what we investigate is online investigations that have to deal with like child solicitation, child pornography, any sort of
41:00exploitative thing.
41:01So I've been conducting an investigation that involves Mr. Barnes and we just come from his house where we executed
41:07a search warrant.
41:07From what I've seen, been involved in what's going on.
41:11But there have been certainly some components that have been going on an awful long time.
41:17I'm going to have to understand.
41:19A warning to you predators, no two of you are alike.
41:23It's my goal in life.
41:25As long as I'm a cop, I will find you and track you down.
41:28Far dry up to me, 3 of us, I won't live.
41:29But without further ado, take care of us.
41:29The Traverse has happened and we're not
