Predators I’ve Caught with Chris Hansen

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 [https://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.

George Robert Cleary is a predator involved in the Fortson, Georgia investigation. He is best known for making a run for it when seeing another suspected predator bust go down, as well as one of two predators in the sting unable to make bond.  A pizza delivery man, George was thirty-six at the time he began chatting with a girl he believed to be fourteen-years-old. After a few minutes of talking, Cleary inquired about her dating history and whether she preferred older men. He claimed he enjoyed using his tongue and having lots of sex. He traveled two hours to the sting house with condoms, porn, and lubricant, and he would pass it by three times to look around. After seeing Gerald White being arrested outside by the Harris County Sheriff's Department for the third time, he fled to the highway to try to make good on his escape. During the attempt, he was stopped and taken into custody. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
