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.

KIDS AT RISK ONLINE: CHRIS HANSEN & CYBER EXPERT WARN PARENTS

“I can't keep doing this... or this will be my, this is just my life." Samuel
Dennis “Sam” Zoellner, a repeat offender with a history of targeting underage girls, was caught in a Polk County, Florida sting featured on Takedown with Chris Hansen. Using the screen name “Jack_Loud,” the 26-year-old initiated contact with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl and drove to meet her. As he arrived, speaking with the decoy on the phone and circling the sting location, detectives moved in—surrounding his vehicle and taking him into custody. Known for his striking appearance and disarmingly blunt honesty, Zoellner initially refused to speak, but Chris’s persistence led to a revealing and chilling interview inside the police trailer.

The former was posed as a 21 year old college student named “Rick” and the latter was a 37 year old photographer named “Steve” (Burnham was actually 42). He used the Rick persona to try to shepherd her towards sex with Steve in what would be perceived as a threesome, but Rick would drop out saying, “yeah im really sick but Steve is a great guy I hope you like getting laid he'll do an awesome job taking your virginity hes really excited about it”. He then would take over as Steve and express his desire to take her virginity, cum in her mouth, and cum inside her. When the decoy expressed a worry about getting pregnant, the concerned Steve replies, “If I get you preg I get you preg”.He would also call the decoy expressing his desires while watching porn and masturbating getting off on her voice saying, “That’s HAWT!”.
