    The Professor's Double Life In this disturbing episode of Predators I’ve Caught, Chris Hansen confronts Dr. Vijay Mannari—an award-winning chemistry professor and respected academic leader—after he arrives at a sting house believing he’s meeting a 15-year-old girl. Despite a decorated career in sustainable polymer research and decades in education, Mannari attempts to justify explicit chats and a proposed cash-for-contact arrangement with a bizarre claim of philanthropic curiosity. Caught on camera and confronted by Chris, the professor spins tales of misunderstood generosity, all while hiding his actions from his family. This episode explores the shocking contradictions between public persona and private intent—and the devastating consequences of a secret life exposed. Learn more about your ad choices.

    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.

Chris returns to explore the filthy shark-laden waters of the previous predators he's caught. no censoring from NBC or True Crime Daily, Hansen let's loose on how he feels about these guys. it's lovely to reminisce on the old catches of the the day.

I love listening to these in bed for Chris' soothing voice. my only criticism is the introduction theme is a bit long and loud so it wakes me up!

fantastic new series - Chris Hansen is back

I was cruising through podcasts when I saw this and I was like 'What? No way!'. Podcast like this don't come round very often. It's a small podcast that's almost as big as a large. I like to listen to it on the way to the beach or driving to 'lantic city, even though I'm not a driver at night. Good family listen too either Father/Son or just me my mommy and my daddy. Way way way the best podcast out there take my word for it, do I look like a dirty dishonest person to you?

My mom's gonna take my computer and completely throw it away!
