01:00Police! Search warrant! Come to the door!
01:04She told me she was 13. She's sweet. If you want to meet us.
01:10A team of police professionals in North Dallas has one goal. Take down online predators before
01:17they harm a real child. Child predators are everywhere. Online predators pose the biggest danger
01:25to America's children today. Kids are being targeted at an alarming rate. This team is opening
01:32its case files for the first time to show you how it tracks them down.
01:39And brings them to justice by any means necessary.
01:47This is Detective Tony Godwin and his team is the Predator Hunters.
01:55January 2024. Tony and his team stop a dangerous predator in his tracks.
02:02What a deviant. What a twisted deviant.
02:05He thinks he's meeting a 13 year old girl for sex.
02:10Get out of the car!
02:13Even after his fantasy is smashed.
02:16Get out of the car!
02:18This repeat offender refuses to face up to his crime.
02:23I have a W K wrong. Honestly, shh!
02:28They say lightning doesn't strike twice. I know different.
02:32This guy, Christopher Holloway, he had a prior hands on offense with a real child,
02:36and he was already on the registered sex offender list.
02:40He wanted to offend again, and I wasn't going to let that happen.
02:49in january of 2024 i'm online in an undercover capacity trolling a platform called chat hour
02:55which is where a lot of predatory types seem to congregate i start on chat hour with an
03:02undercover profile of a 13 year old female named sarah from north texas the profile picture that
03:07i use for this sarah account is from one of my colleagues who allows me to use her images
03:11from when she was 13 my profile creation makes it very very clear this is a 13 year old girl
03:18once my profile is established i enter into a room for texas and i just simply sit and wait
03:25i don't have to wait too long at all at 1 36 p.m my sarah profile gets an instant
03:31message from a
03:31user named barnflyer 55 are you into older guys i mean i can't believe this guy like right off the
03:38bat he's just jumping in that quick what a huge red flag i don't have any option but to just
03:43kind
03:43of stay in character and i just reply back yeah i'm interested in older guys
03:50i tell him i'm 13 almost 14 he tells me that he's in his 50s he acknowledges that my sarah
03:57profile kind
03:58of young duh 40 years younger what a deviant what a twisted deviant so this creepy guy's got my
04:07attention but i'm going to give him a chance to do the right thing so i tell him we don't
04:12have to
04:12talk if you don't want to it's cool he probably should have walked away but he doesn't then he hits
04:18me with a really creepy question
04:20i mean what kind of response is this we've barely been chatting and now this weirdo is going to jump
04:30right into this sexualized content asking if a 13 year old girl is a virgin holy crap make no mistake
04:38the fact that this guy is steering that conversation sexual this dude's a predator he is the poster child
04:45for predator you look that up in the dictionary you're going to find this guy we keep talking
04:49he's trying to keep his interest going and what he says in return is unbelievable to me
04:59it's disgusting to think that in five minutes this guy is already talking about pleasuring himself or
05:04playing with himself this guy is really classic predatory moves so far really fast i need to get a
05:10better look at who this guy is when i click on his profile it shows me that he's got
05:14three publicly available photographs this is the dude that just told the 13 year old girl that
05:22he's masturbating what a creep it's an older very overweight white male so i take a look at his
05:31profile and it gives me really specific stuff and he's in the houston area
05:38while all this information is really helpful and it's documented for evidence
05:42i need more i'd love to know this guy's name so for that i've got to keep this thing going
05:46and
05:47chatting with him
05:51barn flyers messages they just keep coming in and it's all really great evidence
05:57but then it turns sexual again he's referring to a man's genitals and i tell him absolutely not
06:04i'm 13 i mean what an absolute pig this guy is but i'm going to use this as an opportunity
06:13to test
06:14and see if he's willing to travel
06:17and he says yeah i am later that day about 5 51 p.m i get a message from him
06:23on chat hour
06:23the message he sends is a friend request and now i can see those private photos
06:31what i see is utterly disgusting it is naked photos of the same dude doing a selfie in a mirror
06:40thinking that it looks somehow sexy or cute to show his genitalia off he's just committed a crime
06:47he just transferred obscene material to a minor i want to get this guy identified and figure out who
06:51he really is so i reach out to my co-worker nick sherry to help me out with that
06:57my name is nicholas sherry i'm a neighborhood police officer and i've been working with tony for
07:02about five years now tony gets in touch with me to do some research on the social media handle
07:08barnflyer 55 i do some digging through our law enforcement databases and discover one name
07:16christopher holloway
07:18i researched all the christopher holloways in the state of texas and i discovered a christopher
07:23holloway with the date of birth of 11 23 1969 i do a search on christopher holloway with that same
07:32date of birth and discover his photo on his driver's license which matches the photo that he sent to tony
07:43the vehicle that is registered to holloway is a black ford pickup once i've confirmed who christopher
07:50holloway is i discover something very serious 1989 he was sentenced to a five-year prison sentence for
07:57aggravated sexual assault of a child
08:04the fact that a guy who's been through this system has been convicted went to prison is now a
08:14registered sex offender for life is right back at it this guy is clearly ready to offend again it's
08:22unacceptable on every human level in a best case scenario for me this guy travels from where he's
08:31at in houston to where i'm at in north texas i want to build a good solid case for prosecution
08:37so now i just need him to make the date and time and make it happen
08:42in my undercover capacity i work sometimes 24 7 on duty off duty at the house it's the necessary evil
08:50for this job we've been talking for like a couple of months now this guy's paranoia is like through
08:57the roof the next thing that he tells me is that he wants to start talking by regular messaging sms
09:03messaging between phones i give him my phone number for sarah and that's just one of my undercover
09:08numbers that i use for this job all of a sudden i get thrown a curveball that kind of has
09:13me
09:13scrambling he wants a video call because he wants validation he wants to know in his own mind
09:20i really am talking to a 13 year old girl but i completely ghost him and i go right through
09:26that
09:26and i tell him well you do that first you show me around your place and guess what he does
09:33okay one hallway here then the front door there he starts to send me videos showing me every part
09:42of his house it's unbelievable this video gives me really good evidence i mean one i hear the guy's
09:51voice it's kind of gravelly or growly i don't really know what's going on with that my bed it's not
09:59made of course shows his bed and then the biggest thing i take away from this is this tv huge
10:06tv on
10:06the wall probably 65 inches and all i see are cameras my huge tv up on the wall black truck
10:12is super
10:13helpful this is just confirmation on what nick found on the dmv search for this guy this is gold
10:20this video ends in the bathroom and his cameras pointed right at the mirror which shows him with
10:27no shirt on and black shorts if only this guy knew who he was sending the videos to
10:33don't worry he'll find out soon enough after three months of determined catfishing detective tony godwin
10:43finally gets christopher holloway to bite holloway suggests that he and sarah meet for a date
10:55at this point he crossed this line to say he wanted to meet in person for sex
11:00legally he just committed a crime that's great evidence for me to give to a prosecutor
11:06the problem is he's still super paranoid next thing he says promise me you're not some police
11:13i mean sure you want me to promise i'm not a cop i'm not a cop the next thing he
11:19says i mean yeah
11:20you're young but you asked me to do this now he wants to shift the blame over to this child
11:26you asked me to do this what an absolute depraved disgusting creepy nasty evil human being i am hyper
11:36focused to put holloway away
11:40the next day much to my surprise he tells me he's on his way to dallas he lets me know
11:45in his text
11:45which hotel he's staying in
11:49at 10 37 p.m i can see him on the cctv for the hotel and he's clearly intoxicated
11:58i'm questioning whether this guy's going to have the wherewithal to wake up
12:01and drive to the meeting tomorrow he's baked i get the whole team spun up and in place and let
12:08them know what's going on i'm tired of talking to this guy i'm ready to get his ass in jail
12:17holloway sends a message and asks for the address of where sarah lives but then he's so cautious and
12:22paranoid he's like how are we going to get away without your nosy neighbors seeing things so i
12:27just simply reply why don't we meet at the gas station right next door to the apartment
12:33by 9 30 in the morning on that friday we've got everybody in place surrounding that gas station
12:38we're ready to go the adrenaline's pumping because we're we have a chance to take someone down
12:44that needs to be arrested
12:48i can't tell you how excited i am to get this guy under arrest
12:53it's time to go i order the team move in make the arrest
12:58you guys about to move in yeah we're moving down
13:21turn off your car right now
13:43let's move so we're not in front of it
14:00so i use my window punch to shadow the window
14:16when they pull him out of that truck they have to do so with violence this guy's big right
14:25he hits the ground like a sack of 400 pounds of potatoes bam he's on the ground it's great
14:36we get him handcuffed we finally get him stood up
14:57the 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 it's 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
15:18this is a really bad guy this is a dangerous guy this guy is a sexual predator
15:24now two times over if i hadn't got him into custody there's no telling what kind of harm
15:31he could bring to a real kid
15:33you're sitting there i know what you said
15:34i haven't done anything wrong
15:36okay
15:36honestly
15:38i haven't done
15:38the detective we'll be down here with you in a minute
15:56holloway's escorted to a patrol car where he's gonna 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
16:32he starts to play the blame game that because he's a registered sex offender
16:37he's always targeted so woe is me
16:40i'm the poor wounded sex offender
16:53this guy is living in an absolute fantasy land
16:57he has no idea what we've got on him
16:59or the fact that that ain't happening he ain't getting none of this tossed
17:09this guy christopher holloway
17:11who's already a registered sex offender
17:13there are publicly available sites
17:15that tell you where registered sex offenders do live
17:19be diligent look at those websites
17:21know who lives around you and in your community
17:24and be aware of that
17:30august 2010
17:31tony pursues a high school janitor with an appetite for adolescents
17:38you sir are a pedophile
17:41he thinks he's meeting a 14 year old for ice cream and sex
17:46markle 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 i've got hundreds of these guys
18:02this guy john markle he's one i remember he was so shameless in his approach i knew he was a
18:09danger to real kids we move super quick within 48 hours we had him in cuffs
18:22this case started in august 2010 back then the internet was a different beast social media platforms chatting they were
18:30just in their infancy stages
18:31yahoo chat rooms were really popular especially kids love being on there but what that means is where kids are
18:39predators 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
19:33but it still doesn't deter this guy he clearly knows now in his own mind that he's talking to a
19:3814-year-old girl
19:39and so i ask him like what are you doing here
19:42a woman if 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
20:04i ask him how come you don't have a profile pic
20:09this guy does a reversal he 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
20:27who is graciously giving me her permission to use her photos
20:31from the age that i'm purporting to be for these undercover cases
20:37as soon as he tells me how good i look
20:39he 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
20:52you just don't know it yet
20:5730 minutes into this conversation
20:59and 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
21:14and i do
21:23the fact that he specifically mentions he's not a pedophile
21:26everything i've seen over the last hour
21:29tells 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
21:46i have a child predator who's arranged his work life
21:49to be in a school around small children
21:53wow huge red flag
21:54does he have access to real kids
21:56are real kids in danger
21:57like the urgency for me
21:58just went to the top of the list
22:02couple hours into this conversation
22:04and 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
22:11and he wants to go on a date
22:12but i'm on this case
22:13and i'm determined
22:14to take him down
22:18the morning after our first day of chat
22:19i'm working from home for a little while
22:21and when i open up my computer
22:23i see this barrage of like unanswered messages
22:26that have come in from this guy
22:29i mean this guy is really desperate
22:31so i'm going to throw him a bone
22:33try to keep him on the hook
22:36that's my verbal seduction tactic right there
22:40i envision he's like she loves me
22:44right away he's right back at me
22:46so later that day
22:47i decide to ask him about that scorpion tattoo on his arm
22:50and he tells me it's a star sign
22:52he's a scorpio
22:53so i ask him about his birthday
22:55and he tells me october 26th
22:58if in fact that's true
22:59having a date of birth like that
23:01is going to go a long way
23:02to help get this guy identified
23:04at this point i need him
23:06to arrange a meeting in person
23:08and then bingo
23:10it comes
23:18i suggest that he can come over
23:20and meet me at my apartment
23:21but this seems to kind of spook 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

25:16we are at the movie theater
25:17we are here to affect the arrest of one john merkel
25:22this is a photo of a vehicle similar to what he described in an internet chat log
25:27we'll have units parked all around the theater unmarked
25:30as well as officers staged inside the movie theater itself
25:34mr. merkel is believing to come to the theater to meet up with a 14 year old
25:38female for the purposes of a sexual relationship
25:43clint and i are set up in the parking lot where markle arrives
25:48it's 3 32 p.m
25:51we're here in front of the movie theater
25:55it's mr.
25:58markle sitting in his vehicle
25:59you can see that he's looking down the street towards
26:02cold stone creamery which is uh
26:05one of the places he had mentioned uh visiting
26:08meeting the uh the victim at
26:12is he watching the store or us
26:14uh he's looking both directions
26:21we have eyes on him
26:22yeah i think internally his little hamsters run in full speed and he's like
26:26man i'm gonna meet this girl and i'm gonna get her ice cream and then i'm gonna take her home
26:30and i'm gonna do something sexual to her that'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 like 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 takedown team and once i know everybody where they are
26:54in position i give the order to take him down
26:58i've got my gun out you've got to be ready
27:06this is detective government this 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 he's so off guard he has no idea
27:25what'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
27:34santa fe
27:36i'll get a license plate on it here in a moment
27:40he'll be transported to the police department
27:43and 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
28:00and a real kid would have shown up for that ice cream
28:03he would have absolutely 1000 percent
28:06bought 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
28:25he's their devoted pastor
28:27now 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
28:40and when his crimes catch up with him
28:44police search warrant
28:46this predator begs for forgiveness
28:48can we make this day go away and it never happened
28:53many predators lead a double life
28:55they have a public persona that seems completely normal
28:58but then they have a darker side
29:00that was never more true than with this guy
29:03gregory barnes
29:04this guy had access to real children
29:07we had to act fast and take him down
29:20my colleague brandon poor
29:22he ran point on this case
29:23he drove it and brought me in to help
29:27in july of 2020 i go on an application
29:30called anti-land
29:32which is a chat platform
29:33that has a deleting message feature
29:36it is designed to keep a user anonymous
29:39and that tends to lend itself very well
29:42for someone who's a predator looking to harm children
29:45i log in to my profile which is kyliegirl13tx
29:52i get a message from a user named greg
29:55who says hi kylie
29:58i click on his profile
30:00it tells me a little bit of information about him
30:02and what i see is he's in the 55 plus age range
30:07right away he wants to know how old i am
30:10and i tell him i'm 13 years old
30:15it certainly sends up a red flag because
30:18the normal people we talk to in those circumstances
30:21tell us
30:22you're way too young
30:23don'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
30:35he's a degenerate sexual predator
30:37looking for a kid to harm you
30:39and now it's my job to take him out of circulation
30:44detective brandon poor 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 anti-land platform so 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
31:16i 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
31:30i think you're the definition of a predator
31:33you're someone who's 60 years old
31:35talking 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
32:05i think he's just lost it
32:08then 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
32:22then 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
32:37extremely 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
32:44trying to find out who this person really is
32:48so brandon gives me a phone number
32:50and 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
32:59what i get is a gregory kent barnes
33:03and he's a 60 year old white male
33:05he lives in glenrose texas which is about 75 miles southwest of dallas
33:10our database is also giving me a good photo back
33:16this photo does match the photos that he has sent to brendan in their chats
33:23i do an internet search on gregory barnes
33:25and i find one of the most shocking and perhaps worst things that i can find out
33:29as we begin our palm sunday service
33:32let 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
34:06and with what he's talked about watching girls at the pool
34:09that's a huge problem for me
34:13on july 20th 2020 i'm talking about normal everyday life
34:22and 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
34:36in real life and so he requests something that is pretty common
34:40a proof pick
34:43he wants me to hold up a sign with his name on it
34:47my co-worker has given me pictures already
34:50and 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
35:26but also he has access to real kids
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
35:44detectives tony godwin and brandon poor
35:46are about to swoop in on the home of 60 year old preacher predator greg 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
36:10they could be deleting evidence they could be retrieving weapons
36:13so it's really a tense moment
36:17come out
36:18come out
36:18open the door
36:19come here come here
36:20step outside
36:21step out
36:21step out
36:22right now
36:24who else is in the house
36:25they just two
36:26yeah eventually 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
36:35before we go in and start conducting a search
36:47we're able to recover nine devices capable of connecting to the internet
36:52and 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
37:02while tony's interviewing mr barnes
37:05mr barnes
37:06hey i'm detective godwin i'm on the north texas acac task force i'll be having a talk with you here
37:11in 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
37:20no covid
37:20i'm not worried
37:21i really want barnes to talk to me and open up
37:25and so i just kind of play it slow and see how it goes
37:29you have an opportunity to do the right thing
37:33that's just what it boils down to
37:34i 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
37:43guy's blinking like a hundred times a second
37:46all i see initially here is fear
37:49is there a kid out there that we should be concerned about
37:53possibly yes
37:54okay
37:54can you tell me who that person is
37:56uh
37:57her name is kylie
37:58that's a girl
37:59yeah i don't have a last name
38:01and how old is kylie
38:02uh she told me she was 13
38:0413
38:04okay
38:06did you send her any photos
38:08i don't know
38:09what kind of photos did you send them
38:12inappropriate photos
38:13okay like
38:15nude photos
38:15you sent her pictures of your penis
38:17did you have an erection
38:20i said i am
38:21okay
38:22i mean
38:23listen to what this guy's saying
38:25he just admitted to a crime
38:27transferred obscene material to a minor
38:29kids became a bit of the fixation
38:31it sounds like
38:33just from
38:33communications and whatnot
38:35for pleasure
38:36i try to talk to
38:38kind of many
38:39other natures
38:40and that kind of thing
38:40okay
38:42because sometimes
38:43if you can talk to somebody
38:44that's
38:45more innocent
38:47it kind of makes you
38:48if you can tell them
38:49you've done something
38:50they don't judge you for it
38:52somehow makes you feel like
38:54maybe not such a horrible person
38:55usually because they
38:56you're a nice guy
38:58think of what this guy
38:59just admitted to
39:00that he sends his penis pictures
39:02to a 13 year old child
39:04and all of the sexual content
39:06so that he seems like
39:07less of a horrible person
39:09in his own mind
39:10like what kind of paradigm
39:12is this guy operating in
39:13that he can do this
39:14and then out of
39:16like at the flip of a switch
39:18go right to church
39:19and preach in front
39:19of a congregation
