    Branden Keith Orr is an alleged predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. Known for working as a lifeguard at Disney World and giving ghost tours, Orr became infamous for fleeing the sting house and being tased by deputies in the yard. As part of Operation Cyber Guardian, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office set up a sting house and was “bombarded” with men attempting to meet minors for sex. Orr was one of them, engaging in an explicit chat with a decoy posing as a 14-year-old girl. He quickly escalated the conversation, suggesting they watch a movie, cuddle, make out, and have sex—promising to bring a condom. When the decoy asked if sex would hurt, he replied, “It’s not going to hurt for me.” After a 45-minute drive, Orr parked, briefly left, then returned and approached the house—only to suddenly flee. Deputies chased him around the yard and tased him before arresting him. A condom was found in his back pocket. Once detained, he was brought back inside, where Chris interviewed him while officers searched him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    "Charlie Hansen, That's the Guy's Name" In this bizarre and unforgettable episode of Predators I've Caught, Chris recounts the case of Jared Cole Salvador—one of the few predators who seemed to know exactly what was coming… and still showed up. Caught in a Genesee County, Michigan sting, Salvador became infamous for nervously predicting Chris Hansen’s arrival—only to mistakenly refer to him as “Charlie Hansen” with total confidence. In one of the most unsettling and surreal interviews to date, Salvador expressed disturbing self-loathing and paranoia, at one point telling the decoy he feared being "beat up or shot" and half-joking that this felt exactly like To Catch a Predator. Despite his anxiety and a long, hesitant drive, Salvador eventually arrived—only to be greeted by the man himself. From absurd mistaken identity to chilling confessions, this episode dives into the psychology, contradictions, and eerie foreknowledge of a man who saw it coming… but couldn’t stop himself.

  • The Decoy: Bailey’s Story

    The Decoy: Bailey’s Story
    May 30 2025
    In this special episode of Predators I’ve Caught, host Chris Hansen sits down with one of the most vital yet often unseen figures in the investigations—veteran decoy “Bailey.” Known by her alias during the sting operations, Bailey opens up about the emotional and psychological toll of posing as a vulnerable teenager to help catch online predators. She shares vivid memories from one of the most unforgettable stings: the takedown of Jeff Sokol, a predator whose smug attitude and infamous pizza dinner made headlines. With honesty and courage, Bailey walks us through the behind-the-scenes experience of that encounter—what she felt, what she feared, and why she kept coming back to do it again. It’s a rare, inside look at the bravery behind the bait—and the high-stakes reality of confronting evil face to face.

I can remember watching this show with my dad as a kid, I was actively being preyed upon online. While I never spoke up I was able to remove myself from A LOT of situations and help keep some friends out of trouble as well. Thank you Chris Hansen. As a mother now I cringe at how clueless and silly I was. I still watch reruns, plus current and now podcast and will watch with all of my children.

I've been a fan of Chris Hansen and TCAP for many, many years now. I am thrilled to find this podcast where we can revisit all the details of the TCAP investigations and once again listen to Chris Hansen tell all. These stories range from sad, infuriating, disgusting and just incredible. I found online that Dr. Wolin committed suicide in 2021 by hanging himself?! I've tried to find the autopsy report as confirmation, but lots of the links to it have been removed. if it's true, I feel for his family all the trauma he caused, leading up to the ultimate act of self destruction.

Love Chris Hansen and TCAP

Chris is literally the best, I even got the privilege to shake his hand at CrimeCon. TCAP is the best show ever shown, so glad there’s a podcast now too so I can reminisce!

Love Chris! Love TCAP! Obsessed with TruBlue
