September 01, 2025 Larry Hayes
Larry William Hayes is an alleged predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. At the time of the sting, Hayes had been living in Plant City, Florida. Hayes had been in the Army for 20 years, but was a disabled veteran at the time of the sting. He had three children, a twenty-year-old, a seven-year-old, and a twelve-year-old. Hayes had been communicating with a decoy posing as the father to a fifteen-year-old female foster child, selling the girl for sex. In a somewhat different scenario than the typical investigations, Hayes met the decoy father in a hotel lobby. The decoy and Hayes discussed the deal and Hayes paid the father the agreed upon amount, plus $10. The decoy gave Hayes a key for a hotel room, under the guise that the girl would be waiting there for him. The decoy father described Hayes as "very nervous," and "cold." When the father asked that Hayes not hurt his daughter, Hayes responded, "I'll take care of her." A search of Hayes vehicle uncovered a passenger seat filled with dozens of empty cans of Monster energy drinks, sandwich bags, and pizza boxes. Deputies detained Hayes as he entered the hotel room and took him to a mobile processing unit where Chris was able to interview him.

August 18, 2025 Lucas Field
Lucas Ralph Field is a predator that was caught in a Monroe County, Michigan investigation of Takedown. At the time of the sting, Field had been living in Ida, Michigan. He was "self-employed in the nursery
business," referring to landscaping. At the time, Field's 96-year-old
mother had been living with him, with Field responsible for her care. Field had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Field told the decoy that if she ever wanted to leave home without any place to live, that she should contact him. He also requested that the two get together for breakfast the next morning so that he could meet her in preparation for her possibly running away in the future. He expressed concern about the meeting the decoy in public, however, due to her
age. The conversation quickly turned, with Field asking how much the decoy would charge for "DFK" (Deep French Kissing) in his truck that night. Field acknowledged that concern, stating that he was only "trying to find a happy medium," whereby he could still sexually exploit a child without having full sex. The sting was set up in a local hotel room. Field had initially got lost finding the room, but after calling the decoy a second time, he was able to find it. After entering the room, Field was immediately taken into custody by police and sat down for a talk with Chris. When asked what the decoy's age was, Field acknowledged that he knew her age to be fifteen.

Trevor Kyle Walker is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation. Walker arrived at the sting house at approximately 4:30am.
