06:50ve bu konuda benzeri olduğunu çok seviyorum.
06:54Ve bu konuda çok iyi bir aracılık var.
06:58ve bu konuda çok bir konuda bir bir konuda.
06:59Bir ancak bir konuda ve onu bir konuda ve bu konuda?
07:02Bir de biraz bir konuda.
07:05Ve bu konuda bir konuda,
07:07bu konuda, bir konuda bir konuda.
07:11ve bu konuda.
07:12Bir belediye çok yaklaşım.
07:14ve bu konuda, güzel bir konuda,
07:14bir konuda bir konuda,
07:16bir konuda, bir konuda bir konuda,
07:19You're going to want to help.
07:20Well, now he owes me money and I want it.
07:23So I'm going to keep that door open.
07:25And that's how they get in and ultimately stay in,
07:28is that door being open.
07:30What kind of abuse did you endure in the hands of Anthony?
07:34Overall, it was, you know, psychological and financial.
07:39Later on, grotesquely, it was sexual.
07:42You know, I was asked about the sexual abuse part of it
07:45in my interview for Batnegan.
07:47And it was really hard to talk about
07:51because that was that much sooner from when it happened.
07:54And I was shocked when they cut that out of the series.
07:57You know, as much as it was embarrassing and hard,
08:00it's like they just invalidated it
08:02by completely leaving it out as if it never happened.
08:06I can't imagine how frustrating that must have been.
08:08You feel you're more of a victim of his crimes.
08:10And people don't understand
08:12when you plead guilty to something,
08:14that doesn't mean that you actually are guilty.
08:16It just means that that was like
08:17the only option you had at that time.
08:20And on top of all the financial debt,
08:23I also carry the shame that comes along with that.
08:25Because even if I know it wasn't my fault in my heart,
08:28I feel responsible.
08:30And shame just comes along with that.
08:32And he doesn't feel shame.
08:34So he gets to go off clean slate.
08:37I feel very, very strongly about the fact that
08:41so often perpetrators are not held accountable.
08:43He got out with really, for all intents and purposes,
08:48very little repercussions in comparison to what you're facing.
08:52I've lost my whole business, lost everything I cared about,
08:55and then also have my reputation destroyed.
08:58You would think that there would have been an effort to charge him,
09:01not just for the damage that had been caused,
09:05but specifically for what he did to me psychologically.
09:08And because I still have that fear,
09:10and sometimes I'll see somebody from really far away
09:12that has the same build, you know?
09:15And I'll get this jolt of kind of fear
09:19that, like, you know, like, what if he appeared on the street
09:23or something like that?
09:25Do you think he's on to other victims?
09:28Yeah, I'm sure.
09:29I'm sure he's on to other victims.
09:31And I think he's probably, sadly,
09:34got his metaphorical claws into somebody.
09:39You know, if there's something I could do to help, I would.
09:41That's kind of why I'm doing this.
09:45If Anthony was capable of what Starmer was alleging then,
09:49then he still could be capable of them now.
09:52I know that a tiger doesn't change their stripes.
09:54I want to know what Anthony's up to.
09:57Where is he?
09:58What is he doing?
09:59Who is he doing it to?
10:00I can't find an email address for him.
10:03I can't find a phone number.
10:05With Anthony all but nonexistent,
10:07I decided to reach out to the author
10:09of the original Bad Vegan article, Alan Sulkin,
10:12who's been covering this story for nearly a decade
10:14and still regularly communicates with Sarmer.
10:17Hi.
10:18Hello, how are you?
10:19I'm Elizabeth.
10:20I'm glad you're here.
10:21Come on in.
10:21Have a seat.
10:22Thank you so much.
10:24So the story that hasn't really been told
10:26is after Anthony went to jail,
10:29after conning people out of millions of dollars
10:31and allegedly sexually assaulting Sarmer,
10:34where did he go and what did he do?
10:37Well, first, when he got out of Rikers,
10:39basically he went to live in his mom's house
10:43up in Massachusetts.
10:46He was just sort of trolling around on Twitter
10:50for hours and hours
10:51and changing his Twitter handles all the time,
10:53but it was the same account.
10:55And he was probably searching for his next mark.
10:57You know, this is all the research I did
11:00and I got all these tweets
11:01and then I also got some of the text messages
11:03that were going back and forth
11:05between Anthony and Sarmer.
11:07They're still in touch.
11:08They have been in touch on and off
11:11since Anthony has gotten out of jail.
11:13I start to see him mention things about politics.
11:19You know, Anthony says,
11:20saw your tweets.
11:21Katie Hill had to be removed.
11:23Katie Hill was a Democratic U.S. representative
11:27who won a very close election
11:30in a typically conservative district.
11:32Her downfall came when a reporter
11:35named Jennifer Van Laar
11:36published photos of her
11:39basically naked, having a threesome
11:41on this thing called Red State,
11:44this right-wing publication.
11:48Her seat will prove to be important down the line.
11:51Powerful people decide things like,
11:53that she was a corrupt mess,
11:55as are most politicians,
11:56but she has a seat that was important
11:58to someone for something.
11:59As if he knows.
12:00Right.
12:01I remember when the story broke.
12:03It was a huge story.
12:05Every single major news organization
12:07was covering it.
12:08The fall from grace
12:09for a California congresswoman
12:10once seen as a rising star
12:12in the Democratic Party.
12:13Congresswoman Katie Hill
12:14is stepping down.
12:15A conservative blog
12:16posted an explicit photo of her.
12:20All these years later,
12:22it's wild to hear these texts
12:24from Anthony DeSarma
12:25implying that he had intel
12:27or insider knowledge
12:28about this huge scandal.
12:29It does make you wonder,
12:31was he involved in that?
12:34Somebody gave me a tip.
12:36He had his probation
12:38transferred to California,
12:40and then he had gotten married.
12:45And I found that he had gotten married
12:47in Nevada, in Las Vegas.
12:50I see that the bride is,
12:51you know, Jennifer Louise.
12:54And I'm like, okay.
12:56I look it up in a database,
12:58and I see, you know,
12:59AKA Jennifer Van Laar.
13:02And I'm like,
13:02who the hell is Jennifer?
13:03That's a familiar name.
13:04She's the journalist
13:06who published
13:07the Katie Hill photos.
13:10Once I knew
13:11that he had married
13:12Jennifer Van Laar,
13:13then everything else
13:14starts to click into place.
13:16That he had been texting
13:18with Sarma about politics.
13:21And then it's easy for me
13:22to go back on Twitter
13:23and search, like,
13:24what interactions
13:25was he having with her?
13:27Yep, turns out,
13:28connected with her the same way
13:29he's connected with Sarma.
13:31Like, oh my God,
13:33here we go again.
13:34I am now armed with all this,
13:36and I keep calling
13:36Jennifer Van Laar,
13:38looking for a comment
13:39about, you know,
13:40Anthony Strangis.
13:41Do you know him?
13:43What? No.
13:44I have no idea who that is.
13:46I don't know
13:47what you're talking about.
13:48Then she gives me
13:48this statement.
13:50So she says,
13:51I met Anthony Strangis
13:52in 2019,
13:53and since 2020,
13:55he has performed
13:56bodyguard services for me.
13:58As an investigative journalist,
14:01I sometimes receive
14:02death threats
14:02or other threats to mine
14:03or my family's safety.
14:05In August 2021,
14:07when we were both
14:07in Las Vegas with friends,
14:09on a lark,
14:09we decided to get married.
14:10We talked for a few weeks
14:12about whether it could
14:13actually work,
14:13but eventually decided
14:14that we worked best
14:15as just friends.
14:16He has never asked me
14:18or my friends for money.
14:19I have filed for divorce,
14:20but we remain on good terms.
14:30However, I realize
14:32when I look at the marriage record
14:33that he goes into that marriage
14:36Anthony Strangis,
14:39but he comes out Anthony Knight.
14:47Anthony Patrick Strangis,
14:49he wishes to use the name
14:50Anthony Patrick Knight
14:52after marriage.
14:53He took a real last name.
14:54Why would he do that?
14:56You know, he's infamous now.
14:58And so now he's got a new name
15:00that is of extreme use
15:02to somebody like him.
15:03And so now you go back
15:04to the statement
15:05Jennifer Van Laar gave me,
15:07which you can tell
15:08is very carefully crafted.
15:09and then you think
15:11is what she's covering up
15:14this,
15:15that he was involved
15:17somehow in that
15:18because we don't know
15:20how Jennifer Van Laar
15:22got those naked
15:24drug-using photos
15:25of Katie Hill.
15:26All it takes is people
15:27talking on Reddit
15:28or talking on Twitter.
15:29He had been flirting
15:30with Jennifer Van Laar.
15:31He knew, oh,
15:32she's a journalist.
15:33And so he put two
15:34and two together
15:34and said, oh,
15:36I can connect these two.
15:37And then maybe
15:38he says to her,
15:39hey, I want one thing
15:41from you.
15:41Let's go to Vegas.
15:43I need your last name.
15:45And do you think
15:45that was a pivotal moment
15:46in Jennifer's career
15:47when she released the photos?
15:48I kind of put her on the map.
15:49It made Jennifer Van Laar.
15:51She would definitely
15:52feel beholden
15:52to somebody
15:53who would help her that way.
15:55Learning this information
15:56about Jennifer Van Laar
15:57made Sarma's words
15:58echo in my head.
15:59It's part of Anthony's MO
16:01to find women
16:02with ambition and resources
16:03that he can use
16:04for his own personal gain.
16:06People like Anthony Strangers,
16:08we find people
16:08who are a good target.
16:10They find people
16:11who are public
16:11about their goals
16:12and ambitions.
16:13So he didn't even
16:14have to take the time
16:15that they usually
16:16have to take
16:16to study somebody
16:17and learn all
16:18their insecurities
16:19and what their goals are.
16:21That stuff was all
16:22out there for him
16:23to know and read about.
16:25And then they weaponize it.
16:26Unfortunately,
16:27I made a very good target.
16:29This is not him
16:29starting his life over
16:30and finding his happily ever after.
16:32Is it a working theory?
16:34Is there anything
16:35for sure to knock it down?
16:37Is there anyone else
16:38whose story hasn't been told
16:39or anyone you think
16:40we should focus on?
16:41Her.
16:42Michaela Coulter.
16:43Anthony's half-sister.
16:45She's never given an interview.
16:48I wanted to know
16:49how Anthony became this way.
16:51What drives him
16:52to do these things?
16:54His own sister, Michaela,
16:55agreed to fill me in.
16:59Growing up,
17:00I would say
17:01I looked up to Anthony.
17:02Me and Anthony,
17:03we have about
17:03a 13-year age difference.
17:04We do have
17:05two separate fathers,
17:06which I think
17:07that context is important.
17:09My dad was not around.
17:11So growing up,
17:12Anthony was one
17:13of my main caregivers
17:14along with my mom.
17:15So he was the one
17:16putting me to bed.
17:17He was the one
17:17taking care of me.
17:18He was like normal
17:19and caring.
17:21And he wouldn't hurt a fly.
17:24Tell me about Anthony's dad.
17:26What was he like?
17:27His dad was always
17:29very nice to me.
17:30But I know he's done
17:31a lot of terrible things.
17:33He was a cop.
17:34His dad was not nice.
17:35His dad was not
17:36a good person.
17:37He's a compulsive liar
17:38and gambler.
17:39He taught Anthony
17:40how to lie.
17:41He taught Anthony
17:41how to gamble.
17:42Lavish trips and cruises.
17:44Disney World.
17:46His father created
17:48a world that Anthony
17:50wanted to live in
17:50that wasn't realistic.
17:54I was seven or eight.
17:55I was still pretty young
17:56when he moved out.
17:57He was like 18, 19.
18:00He moved to Florida
18:01with his father.
18:02I sat on the road
18:03crying and like
18:04watched him drive away
18:05because I was so upset.
18:06Like I did not want him
18:07to go.
18:09And that was to me
18:10like the last time
18:11I ever like had my brother.
18:12Like that was him.
18:14And then that's kind of
18:15where it all started
18:15to change.
18:17Anthony spent the next
18:18few years in Florida
18:19getting in some trouble
18:20with the law
18:21and was charged
18:22with impersonating
18:23a police officer
18:23and grand larceny.
18:25He eventually made
18:27his way up to New York
18:28where he spent the year
18:29scamming Sarma
18:30and her employees.
18:32Going on the run
18:33and eventually
18:34getting caught.
18:36People
18:37don't understand
18:39how bad gambling
18:39addictions are.
18:42It should be
18:44spoken about more
18:45his gambling problem
18:46because I think
18:48that's the root of it.
18:51His addiction
18:52is what feeds
18:53all of it.
18:55I will say
18:56when he got arrested
18:57me and my mother
18:58were relieved.
19:00We were happy
19:00which sounds terrible
19:02but we wanted him
19:03to get help
19:04for so long.
19:05So when he was in jail
19:06I didn't talk
19:07to him at all.
19:08And then when he got out
19:09is when he came
19:09to live with us
19:10because he really
19:11didn't have anywhere
19:12else to go.
19:13Anthony lived
19:14at my mom's house
19:14for a couple years.
19:16He was there
19:17until he got
19:18almost off probation.
19:19He got permission
19:20from his parole officer
19:21and everything
19:22to move to
19:22California.
19:23and he told us
19:24he got a job
19:25working for the
19:25Republican Party.
19:28Did he specify
19:29to you what kind
19:30of job he was taking
19:31for the Republican Party?
19:32No.
19:33We were like 50-50.
19:35Could be a lie,
19:36could be fake.
19:37He had paperwork
19:37to give to the judge
19:39and the parole officer
19:41to prove what he
19:42was going to go do.
19:43So we had to believe it.
19:45He had a real person
19:46saying he was going
19:47to go and work
19:47for the Republican Party.
19:48So Anthony went
19:49from being
19:50in a relationship
19:50with Sarma,
19:51a liberal vegan,
19:53to allegedly
19:54working for the GOP.
19:55How do you think
19:56that happened?
19:57So Anthony's
19:59relationship
19:59with politics,
20:00my personal opinion,
20:01is all about the game.
20:06And I think he sees
20:08an opportunity
20:09to take advantage
20:11and manipulate.
20:13And I think
20:14that's where
20:14his political belief
20:16is, the power.
20:17is just where
20:18can you get
20:18more power
20:19at that point.
20:20For him,
20:21it's not just money.
20:22It's like,
20:22it's power.
20:23The whole thing
20:24is a game to him.
20:25So it's not just,
20:26it's not just money
20:27because once he got
20:29all the money
20:29he could from me,
20:30he would have like
20:30left and got on a plane
20:32to Mexico
20:32and he wouldn't have
20:33just sort of spent it.
20:34It's like,
20:34he doesn't really care
20:35about it.
20:36It's the whole weird
20:37power trip.
20:38But I think it's,
20:39it's dangerous
20:40to underestimate
20:40these people
20:41because they are
20:42very, very,
20:43very smart.
20:45As I'm starting
20:45to understand Anthony more,
20:47what makes him tick
20:48and how he pulls
20:49off these cons.
20:51It's eerie
20:51how those who know
20:52him best
20:53have encounters
20:54that mirror each other.
20:56It seems his gambling
20:57addiction drives
20:58his compulsion
20:59to steal money
20:59from people.
21:00But it's the notoriety,
21:02the illusion of importance
21:03that Anthony
21:04is really chasing.
21:06And what's bigger
21:07than embedding yourself
21:08in American politics?
21:14Some of this
21:15is just
21:16really weird,
21:18right?
21:19We're all in this together.
21:21There was a video
21:23that somebody sent me
21:24from this new
21:25Twitter handle.
21:27The videos
21:28were made early
21:29in the COVID pandemic.
21:32They're these dark,
21:33weird,
21:34black and white,
21:35like rants.
21:37So I went to
21:38Stop and Shop.
21:39I asked the manager,
21:40where's all the toilet paper
21:41and the paper towels?
21:42Why don't you get that in?
21:43Oh, we've been getting it in,
21:45he says.
21:45Usually sells out
21:46between 6 and 7.30
21:48in the morning,
21:49the senior hours.
21:50So listen up,
21:51you old
21:51who apparently
21:53we're shutting
21:54everything down for.
21:55Stop buying all
21:56the toilet paper
21:57and the paper towels.
21:59Anthony has clearly
22:01figured out
22:02that now
22:02he's in this
22:03sort of conservative
22:05or right-wing
22:06world,
22:07and this is
22:09the world
22:10that he's going
22:10to now operate in.
22:12And you're probably
22:12buying it
22:13for your
22:13ass
22:1440-something-year-old
22:16dip
22:16kids.
22:17Stop being a
22:18greedy prick.
22:19You're supposed
22:19to know better.
22:20You're older.
22:21It's almost to me
22:21like he's testing
22:22out a new persona.
22:24We're all this together.
22:26Drink this Kool-Aid.
22:27Here.
22:28Don't you want
22:28this Kool-Aid?
22:31What am I going
22:32to catch
22:33with this voice?
22:34And I think
22:35what he caught
22:36was Jennifer Van Laar
22:38and all these
22:39other people
22:39in Southern California.
22:41When I spoke
22:42to Alan,
22:43he suggested
22:44that I reach out
22:45to Eddie McClintock,
22:46an actor in Los Angeles
22:47who met Anthony on,
22:49on, you guessed it.
22:50Well, he slid
22:51in my DMs
22:52on Twitter.
22:54Eddie was part
22:55of this group
22:56of conservative guys
22:57online that consisted
22:58of former
22:59and current
23:00active military members
23:02as well as
23:02some Secret Service
23:03agents.
23:04Eddie describes
23:05Anthony as funny
23:06and irreverent.
23:07He really won
23:07a lot of these guys
23:08over by sharing
23:09videos during
23:10the pandemic
23:10about his disdain
23:12for the shutdowns.
23:13You know what's
23:13really creepy?
23:14Is everybody saying
23:15we're all in this
23:16together.
23:17It was politically
23:18tinged.
23:19He says he's
23:20a conservative.
23:21What?
23:22I just want some
23:23paper towels.
23:24I don't want
23:24to join a cult.
23:26One day,
23:27Anthony invited
23:28Eddie and the group
23:29to Las Vegas
23:30for a hot ticket event.
23:31A Conor McGregor
23:32and Dustin Poirier fight.
23:35Anthony told them
23:36he'd handle everything
23:37from the hotel suite
23:38to the tickets
23:39to their food
23:40and all their drinks.
23:41I flew into Vegas
23:42and I was at the hotel
23:44and he was like,
23:45I'm in the Rolex shop.
23:46Come to the Rolex shop.
23:48I'm looking down
23:49in the hall
23:49and I can see
23:50into the Rolex shop
23:51and there's
23:52one other person
23:53and that person
23:55was not in good shape.
24:00Immediately,
24:01I thought,
24:01I've been catfished
24:03because on Twitter,
24:04he kind of came off
24:06as being in
24:07like really good shape
24:08saying perhaps
24:09he worked
24:10for like Blackwater.
24:11You're getting some steps
24:12in if you work
24:13for Blackwater.
24:14Yeah.
24:15But Eddie's friends
24:15had been with Anthony
24:16for a day at this point
24:17and they vouched
24:19for him for being legit.
24:21When we get back
24:22to L.A.,
24:23that's when Anthony
24:24and I really became
24:26closer, you know,
24:27because my dad was dying.
24:30Anthony and I
24:31would talk pretty much
24:32every night on the phone.
24:33He asked about my dad
24:35and my dad,
24:37you know,
24:37my dad passed
24:39in March of 2022
24:45and it was
24:47the hardest day
24:48of my life,
24:49you know,
24:49and when I got home
24:54after my dad died
24:55and Anthony,
24:57Anthony called me,
24:58he was showing up
25:00for me as a friend.
25:03and then at one point
25:04we started talking
25:05about Rolex watches.
25:07Eddie had been eyeing
25:08a rare Rolex,
25:10a James Cameron
25:11deep sea dweller.
25:12I told Anthony,
25:14I'd really like
25:15to get that watch
25:16and he was like,
25:17bro, bro,
25:18I can get you that watch.
25:20No problem
25:20because it'll take
25:21a couple of months
25:22because there's a waiting list
25:24for like a year and a half
25:25and Anthony was like,
25:26yeah,
25:26I'll get you this watch.
25:27So I gave him $13,000
25:30in cash
25:32and I started
25:33getting excuses
25:34and then one day
25:36my buddy sent me
25:38this trailer
25:38for Netflix
25:39on my phone.
25:40He was like,
25:41watch this right now
25:42and then it was him.
25:49After Matt Began came out,
25:51we called him
25:52and said,
25:53what's going on
25:54with this
25:55and Anthony said
25:56that his wife
25:58used the liberal media
26:00to, you know,
26:02make him out
26:03to look like a bad guy.
26:05Months and months passed
26:06and Anthony is giving
26:07Eddie excuse
26:08after excuse
26:09as to why
26:10he can't get him
26:11the watch
26:11or return his money.
26:13The last correspondence
26:15that I had from him,
26:16he said,
26:16you know,
26:17hey man,
26:17I'm not ghosting you.
26:19The watch is fine.
26:20I just was like,
26:22Anthony,
26:22come on.
26:23What watch?
26:24And ultimately,
26:25you never saw the watches.
26:26You never saw the money.
26:28No.
26:28And it was
26:30really the ultimate
26:31form of betrayal
26:33by somebody
26:34you considered
26:34a really good friend.
26:35Yeah.
26:36And now that,
26:37you know,
26:38Anthony's gone
26:39and my dad's gone
26:40and he should have to,
26:41pay for it
26:43like everybody else does.
26:46Eddie's story
26:47shares so many similarities
26:49with Sarma's.
26:50As Anthony's first
26:51publicly known victim
26:52and probably the person
26:53he spent the most time
26:54conning,
26:55every conversation
26:56I had with Sarma
26:57gave incredible insight
26:58into how Anthony operates.
27:00And it seems as though
27:01his tactics
27:01have remained the same.
27:04Anthony Strangers
27:05was incredibly intuitive
27:07about people's behavior
27:10and feelings
27:11and how to weaponize that.
27:13And it's so slow
27:14that by the time
27:15you even realize
27:16that like something's
27:17wrong and off,
27:18it's like it's too late.
27:19They've already got you.
27:21They know what they're doing.
27:22They anticipate
27:22what's coming.
27:23And so they know
27:24how to, you know,
27:25find the out
27:26because it's like
27:27part of a plan
27:27all along.
27:28And again,
27:29that's why it's so important,
27:30I think,
27:30to get to know people
27:31and meet them in person
27:33versus, you know,
27:34getting to know
27:34somebody online.
27:36Eddie never pressed charges
27:37knowing that it would be costly
27:39and an uphill battle,
27:40especially considering
27:41that Anthony technically
27:42never stole money from him.
27:44He just convinced
27:45Eddie to give it to him.
27:47It seems like
27:48he found a loophole
27:48to get what he wanted.
27:49Some more money
27:50to fund his gambling habit.
27:56Where do you
27:57think he went
27:59after he left Orange County?
28:01I just know
28:02he's in Texas somewhere
28:03and I would assume
28:04he's probably
28:05with another girl
28:06and doing some other scheme.
28:12At this point,
28:13based on my conversations,
28:15it seems like Anthony
28:16conned his way
28:17through California.
28:19He's got a new identity.
28:21He's built this
28:22year-long friendship
28:23with Eddie
28:24only to steal from him
28:25and disappear.
28:28All of this
28:29after he allegedly
28:30coerced Sarmath
28:31and left her in New York
28:33to pay back
28:34all of his victims.
28:35So I decided
28:36that Anthony
28:38doesn't get to hide anymore
28:40because right now
28:41he could have a new
28:43unsuspecting victim
28:44in his grasp.
28:46If there's a way
28:46to prevent it,
28:47I will not sit here
28:48and let one more person
28:49fall victim to Anthony.
28:55Mikayla suspects
28:56that Anthony
28:56is in Texas,
28:58although he was
28:59very careful
28:59not to tell her
29:00which city.
29:00She has no recent
29:01photos of him,
29:02but their last correspondence
29:03included photos
29:04of some dogs.
29:06Unfortunately,
29:07he turned off
29:07the metadata,
29:08so again,
29:09no real way
29:10to figure out
29:10exactly where he is.
29:13So,
29:13I brought on
29:14a private investigator
29:15in Texas,
29:16Catherine Meyer.
29:18Catherine immediately
29:19found an address
29:20in Austin
29:20that matched
29:21Anthony Knight,
29:22his new identity.
29:23There's 65 pages here.
29:27And she also found
29:28his name registered
29:29to an Audi SUV.
29:31We have another name
29:33linked to the one
29:33we believe he's driving now.
29:35So,
29:36I sent a crew to Texas
29:37to go stake out
29:38the apartment
29:39with Catherine.
29:40Can you hear us?
29:41Hello, hello.
29:42We're on our way
29:43to location number one
29:44right now.
29:46You guys know
29:47what you're looking for.
29:48A mountain of a man.
29:49This is a location confirmation.
29:52We do not want
29:52to approach him.
29:53We do not want
29:54to give him any indication
29:55that he is being watched.
29:57I have done
29:59some OSINT,
30:00open source intelligence,
30:01searches,
30:02and haven't found
30:03much more
30:04than the articles
30:05that have already
30:06been written on him.
30:07So,
30:08that obviously tells me
30:09that he is trying
30:11to keep a low profile.
30:13So,
30:13that's all I really
30:14have to go on right now.
30:16I'm hoping that we have
30:17a lot more
30:18by the end of the day.
30:19I just cannot stress enough
30:20how high the stakes are
30:22because if he even
30:23senses anything,
30:24he's gone.
30:25And I don't want him
30:26to run before I get
30:27an opportunity
30:27to speak with him
30:28and find out
30:29if he has a new victim
30:29in his grasp.
30:30You got it.
30:31We're doing everything
30:32we can.
30:33We'll keep you posted.
30:38In my interview
30:39with Alan,
30:39he mentioned
30:40a tip he got
30:40about the fact
30:42that Anthony
30:42had somehow
30:43wormed his way
30:44into this family
30:44called the Johnsons
30:45in Southern California.
30:47I want to talk to them.
30:49I want to see
30:49what he did to them
30:51and also if they have
30:52any idea
30:52about his whereabouts now.
30:55I've tried writing.
30:56I've tried calling.
30:57I've received no response.
30:58So,
30:59now I'm going to
31:00go knock on their door.
31:03Anthony,
31:04to no surprise,
31:05picked this very small,
31:07insular,
31:07and affluent
31:08coastal town
31:09in Orange County.
31:12So,
31:13here is the Johnsons' house
31:14and it definitely
31:17looks like
31:18someone is home.
31:21Oh,
31:33Hi,
31:33Mrs. Johnson.
31:54Hi,
31:54Mrs. Johnson.
31:55Yeah.
31:56My name is Elizabeth Chambers.
31:57We were doing a documentary
31:58on Anthony Strangus
32:00and I wanted to see
32:00if I could possibly
32:01have a few minutes
32:01of your time
32:02to ask you some questions.
32:04No,
32:04I'm not interested
32:05in talking about this.
32:06Just,
32:06it would just take
32:07a couple minutes.
32:08Absolutely not,
32:09no.
32:09Do you know him?
32:10Do you know Anthony?
32:11No,
32:11sorry,
32:11sorry.
32:13Thank you.
32:19Mrs. Johnson was home
32:20and answered the door,
32:22but her reaction
32:23when I asked her
32:23about Anthony
32:24was very unusual.
32:26That was weird.
32:27Turned completely white,
32:28so freaked out.
32:31like I'm shaking.
32:32There's just so much
32:33history there,
32:33you can tell.
32:34She completely froze.
32:36She knew exactly
32:37who he was.
32:37Her face completely fell.
32:39She turned white.
32:40Do you think
32:41they're just embarrassed?
32:42I think that
32:42for people in general,
32:44when people are conned,
32:46there's always
32:47an element of shame.
32:48If it were me,
32:49I'd say,
32:50what do you know
32:50about him?
32:51There's clearly
32:52a lot more
32:53to this story.
32:54A lot.
32:56According to Alan,
32:58they had a neighbor
32:58named Glenn
32:59who saw Anthony
33:01coming and going
33:02and rightfully so,
33:04thought that was
33:04very, very strange.
33:06So I think
33:07we got to try him
33:08and maybe he'll
33:09be more open
33:10to talking.
33:17As I was on the trail
33:18in Southern California,
33:20Catherine and my team
33:20were looking deeper
33:21into this vehicle
33:22that was registered
33:23to Anthony
33:23and they found
33:24another person
33:25attached to it as well,
33:26a woman.
33:27She's listed
33:28as the co-owner
33:30of this car
33:31this year.
33:32Owners,
33:33Anthony Nyan.
33:41And the same woman
33:43was also listed
33:44on the address
33:45in Austin.
33:49Perfect.
33:50Yep, that's her.
33:51So not only
33:52had we potentially
33:52located Anthony,
33:54but as Kayla suspected,
33:55he may be living there
33:56with a new girlfriend
33:57who could potentially
33:59be his next victim.
34:12Hello.
34:13Hey, so we actually
34:14got in touch with Glenn.
34:15Amazing.
34:16Amazing news.
34:17Is he still in this town?
34:19He is.
34:20So he's got an office.
34:21We found the office
34:22and we called him there
34:23and he said
34:24he could come talk to him.
34:25Today?
34:26Right now?
34:26Yeah.
34:28Let's go.
34:31After seeing
34:32Mrs. Johnson's reaction,
34:33it seemed emotional,
34:35very, very emotional
34:35for her.
34:36So I'm really
34:37looking forward
34:38to seeing
34:38and hearing
34:39what Glenn noticed,
34:41what he witnessed.
34:56Hey, dude.
34:57You see this guy?
34:59Which guy?
35:00This guy just pulled up
35:01in a Hyundai
35:04dog in the car.
35:08That could be him.
35:10That could be him.
35:11That definitely could be him.
35:12I am now as well.
35:13He's right on the other
35:13side of that track.
35:15No, yeah, we see him.
35:16Oh, it's a little corgi.
35:18Okay.
35:23Let's just see where he's going.
35:27My team in Texas
35:29spotted someone
35:30who perfectly matched
35:31the physical description
35:32I had for Anthony Strangis.
35:35Nope.
35:39But he went
35:40into the wrong apartment.
35:41Damn it.
35:43With no sign of Anthony,
35:45the team decided
35:46to get a closer look.
35:47This little ribbon cam.
35:49Wired with a button cam,
35:51Catherine,
35:51posing as a leasing agent,
35:53went to knock on the door.
35:55All right.
35:55Wish me luck.
36:08Thank you so much
36:09for taking this time.
36:11We have a lot of questions
36:12about Anthony
36:12and the Johnson family.
36:14Tell me a little bit
36:15about your first impression.
36:17He was introduced to us
36:18through, uh, Lindsay.
36:22Hi, Mrs. Johnson.
36:24Yes.
36:25She brought him over
36:26for a game of cards.
36:28Anthony was very bright,
36:31very articulate.
36:32I would say he's
36:33a very commanding
36:34sort of person.
36:35But he was kind of elusive
36:37in, so, well,
36:38what do you do, Anthony?
36:39And, well, you know,
36:41work for the government,
36:42kind of in special operations
36:44and Black Ops.
36:45Immediately, my wife thought,
36:48hmm, I don't know
36:49about this guy.
36:51She never sort of gave him
36:53the benefit of the doubt.
36:55But I did.
36:58So I'll give an example.
37:00He knew I was very interested
37:01in politics at the time.
37:03It was the 2020 election.
37:05I was actually very interested
37:07in running for some sort of seat.
37:09And then, all of a sudden,
37:10he was an expert in super PACs.
37:13A super PAC is a political
37:14action committee.
37:16Essentially, it's a recognized group
37:17used to raise funds
37:19for campaigns
37:20or political figures.
37:21There's no limit
37:22to the funds raised,
37:23and they've gotten the reputation
37:24for being fertile ground
37:25for scams.
37:26We actually got to the point
37:28where we started
37:29a super PAC.
37:31His motivation was,
37:32if you raise money
37:33as a super PAC,
37:35you're entitled
37:36to take 20%
37:37of the money you raise
37:38for expenses and overhead.
37:40And so,
37:41he could see
37:42a super PAC
37:43providing him cash.
37:45Anthony
37:46is a compulsive gambler,
37:48and I think
37:49all his motivation
37:50for money
37:51and everything else
37:51is to feed that habit.
37:53He asked myself
37:55and Lindsay combined
37:57and give him $150,000.
38:00And my wife said,
38:01are you nuts?
38:02So,
38:03I just did as I was told
38:05and told him to get lost.
38:06Honestly,
38:07based on how he's treated
38:07people in the past,
38:08I think you would have
38:09never seen that money again.
38:10We know his patterns.
38:11We know what he does.
38:12He steals from people,
38:14and nobody ever,
38:16ever, ever sees
38:16that money.
38:17But I think Lindsay
38:19might have given him
38:20the money.
38:22Now,
38:23Mr. Johnson
38:24had a medical condition.
38:26He is 80.
38:28Mrs. Johnson
38:29is quite significantly younger.
38:31About 20 years younger,
38:32yeah.
38:33And what do you think
38:34Mrs. Johnson's relationship
38:35with Anthony was?
38:37How would you describe it?
38:39They obviously
38:39were very close.
38:40He was very embedded
38:41into the family life.
38:43I surmised there was
38:44a relationship
38:45going on there.
38:47and I know
38:48Mr. Johnson's
38:50oldest son,
38:50Mark,
38:51was concerned
38:52about what was
38:53going on here.
38:54Mark decided
38:54it was time to end it
38:56and force the issue.
38:58Especially after
38:59Bad Vegan
39:00came out.
39:04We saw the show
39:05and we were just
39:06gobsmacked.
39:07I mean,
39:07we just couldn't believe it.
39:08Everyone was numb,
39:10really,
39:10because he'd been
39:12into our lives.
39:13He was part of the
39:14culture of our friendship,
39:16right?
39:17Did you and your wife
39:18reach out to Lindsay
39:19after Bad Vegan came out?
39:20I know my wife
39:21reached out to her
39:22and said,
39:23listen,
39:24stuff happens in life.
39:25You know,
39:26we've always been friends.
39:28Can we sit down
39:28and talk about it?
39:29And Lindsay
39:30never responded,
39:32never has.
39:33Maybe she feels like
39:34she loves him
39:36and,
39:37you know,
39:37he's convinced her
39:38that it's just a story.
39:40It's all a pack of lies.
39:42because I believe
39:43he'd have that ability
39:44over her.
39:45I mean,
39:46but that is a testament
39:47to how manipulative
39:48and controlling he is.
39:49Exactly.
39:53If you could say
39:54one thing to Anthony,
39:56what would that be?
39:58Why?
39:59I understand
40:00you've got a gambling habit,
40:02but why would you
40:04just rip people off?
40:07And he's just a bad guy.
40:09and that's really
40:10what it comes down to.
40:12Allegedly,
40:13Anthony is leaving
40:14a string of victims
40:15in his wake
40:15and he's doing it
40:16in the sickest way possible.
40:18By leveraging people's love
40:20and trust in him
40:21as family and friends
40:22and otherwise,
40:23and he needs to be exposed.
40:27Hey!
40:37Next time
40:38on Toxic.
40:40He has
40:41obviously eluded us
40:43and
40:43I want to know
40:44how he did it.
40:45This is interesting.
40:47Just phone numbers
40:48that come back
40:49to defense contractors.
40:51This is major.
40:52Holy
40:53this is like
40:54the girl
40:55that we believe
40:56Anthony's with.
40:57Everything matches.
40:58Everything lines up.
40:59She's an outspoken
41:00Republican.
41:01This is on her social media.
41:02She may have
41:04no idea
41:04who she's dealing with.
41:06His current alias,
41:08Anthony Knight,
41:09was listed in a directory.
41:12That's huge.
41:13That's huge.
41:14Everyone
41:15in Anthony's life
41:16is a potential victim.
41:18I knew
41:18I had to act fast.
41:23Anthony.
41:24We gotta go.
41:25We gotta go.
41:26We gotta go.
41:29We gotta go.
