Patrick Parr is a predator featured in the Murphy, Texas investigation. He is known for

his needy, revolting chat log, and for getting married halfway through chatting

to the decoy despite claiming to be a "one lady man."  A thirty-three-year-old man, Patrick began

chatting with a Perverted Justice decoy who was posing as a fourteen-year-old

girl. In his chat that spanned two months, he admitted to the girl that he has

seen To Catch a Predator episodes where older men were arrested for attempting

to meet underage children for sex. Using sickening grooming tactics, he asked

the girl if she wanted to be his girlfriend, described his sexual desires for

her (including anal and oral sex), sent her a picture of his penis, played

around with the topic of incest, had lengthy webcam sessions during which he

masturbated, and expressed delight that she was a virgin. Parr described

himself as a "one lady man." The decoy, played by Lindsay Faye

Wagner, welcomed Parr to the house. Parr appeared confused when he got to the

sting house because the decoy was different from the picture he had been

provided of an Asian girl online. With Parr suspicious, Chris mades his

appearance.

Introducing Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How often do you work out?

What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?

In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.

Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.

They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.

The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.

How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.

How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.

Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.

If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?

What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?

In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.

She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.

Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she's chosen to let go of toxic energy.

How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships

Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries

How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them

How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract

How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State

Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness

Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.

Jay Shetty

Vincent M. Ambrosio was a nineteen-year-old from Wappinger Falls, New York, caught in the Fairfield, Connecticut sting of Hansen vs. Predator. Unlike others, his episode never aired—deemed too grim. In 2019, Chris Hansen quietly released the raw footage as “premium content” on his YouTube channel.

Ambrosio had dropped out of high school, was unemployed, and living with his parents while caring for his ailing grandfather. Battling depression, he was under psychiatric care, though the medication wasn’t helping.

When he arrived at the sting house, he awkwardly tried to hug the decoy, who quickly distanced herself before stepping away. Moments later, Chris entered.

Visibly emotional, Ambrosio broke down. He spoke of his failing mental health, academic struggles, and a life unraveling. He claimed he was seeking friendship—not sex—and even said he dreamed of becoming a police officer but felt his weight made that impossible.

Despite showing some empathy, Chris couldn’t reconcile Ambrosio’s pain with his attempt to meet a minor for sex. In a final, awkward effort to defuse the moment, Ambrosio told Hansen, “My dad’s overweight too.” But there's even more to this predato's story.
