Kleider Enrique Garcia Ochoa Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Chris 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" Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Michael 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.

The Lieutenant Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

He 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. Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Edmundo 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! Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

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.
