Predators I’ve Caught with Chris Hansen

On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by former Philadelphia Prosecutor Guy D’Andrea who reviewed and consulted on the 2011 death of beloved teacher, Ellen Greenberg. Despite being stabbed over 20 times in the chest, neck and back of her head inside her own apartment, authorities have still ruled her death a suicide. Now the Co-Managing Partner at Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich& Ryan, D’Andrea and Hansen breakdown the evidence, or lack there of, that all signs point to homicide and discuss how someone might just have gotten away with the murder of Ellen Greenberg.

"How is this a suicide?" Former Prosecutor on the Ellen Greenberg Case | Have a Seat Ep.13 Guy D'Andrea

"I told them pacifically... that thank God... that y'all was the cops. Because I woulda been callin' the cops." ―One of John Hunter's nonsense statements.

John Wesley Hunter is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. He is notable for his various excuses that make no sense. At the time of the sting, Hunter lived in Davenport, Florida and worked for Budget Auto Parts as a mechanic and a contractor for the Polk County Sheriff's Office to fix it's cars. He was also a self-proclaimed "traveling cowboy." Hunter answered an ad for "family fun" and talked with a decoy posing as a mom to a fourteen-year-old girl. The decoy was run by the Polk County Sheriff's Office as a part of its Operation Cyber Guardian II. Hunter asked the decoy how old her daughter was, to which the decoy said that her daughter was fourteen and "loves family time" (a euphemism for incestual sex). Hunter replied, "That's awesome." Hunter expressed that he might want to have sex with the both of them but asked the mother if she would be willing to be naked while she watched him rape her daughter. Hunter arrived at the hotel
used for the sting. Police entered the hallway and pointed a gun at him for
several seconds. He was taken to the police station and attempted to hide
his face from the cameras. That is until Chris walked in the interview room
with an entire camera crew. Hunter protested, saying that he "ain't doin
no cameras."

Nelson Louis — The Hotel Key Sting

Chris breaks down the case of Nelson Louis, a Tampa man who showed up at a Polk County hotel after negotiating with someone he believed was a foster mother selling her fifteen-year-old daughter. Despite knowing the girl’s age and fearing a setup, Louis handed the decoy $100 in the lobby and accepted the key to the room—where deputies immediately arrested him. In the interview, Louis backpedals with confusion and shifting stories, but Chris cuts through every excuse, exposing a man who walked straight into the sting he claimed to fear.

WHAT EVERY VICTIM NEEDS TO KNOW: CHRIS HANSEN WITH RENÉE WILLIAMS | Have A Seat

In this jaw-dropping episode of Predators I’ve Caught with Chris Hansen, a Monroe, Michigan sting takes an unexpected twist when two predators from the same neighborhood arrive at the decoy house within hours of each other. One of them, 53-year-old Jerry Daniel Hetherington, stands out for all the wrong reasons. Claiming he was going to “make a glory hole” for himself and the decoy, Jerry’s bizarre story quickly unravels under Chris’ questioning. Nervous and fidgety, Jerry insists he was only there to “meet Travis,” a fourteen-year-old boy he’d contacted online. When Hansen presses him, Jerry panics and bolts—only to be violently tackled by the V.I.P.E.R. task force. What follows is a surreal mix of self-pity, back-pain complaints, and hollow apologies as Chris confronts the divorced father of two about his explicit chat logs and failed denials. It’s a classic example of the lengths predators will go to excuse the inexcusable—and the unrelenting calm with which Chris exposes the truth.

Willie Merrill

Mohamad was a 34 year old real estate agent at the time he began chatting with a female Perverted Justice decoy he believed to be thirteen. He asks the decoy various personal questions, such as if she was a virgin, if she had sex with her old boyfriend, and if she masturbated. Mohamad would show a desire to get and receive oral sex from the decoy, telling her at least twice to open her legs up wide. He also transmitted various naked pictures with the heads cropped off.
 Abdalla would show up to the house late at night after making a date to do the things that were talked about in the chat. Upon driving up, the decoy waved him into the house and he happily came in with a huge smile on his face. His happiness was short-lived as Chris Hansen soon came out after he was situated.
 Adapted from journalist Chris Hansen’s popular TO CATCH A PREDATOR series, each episode of PREDATOR I'VE CAUGHT features Chris recalling the most notorious cases and providing a “Where are they now?” update.
