## Physical description

### Eye color

Green

**Todd Monroe Spikes** was a potential predator and the law enforcement officer exposed in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is best known for bringing an array of guns and a body dump kit to the sting house, which has led to many believing he was going to rape, kill and dump the decoy.

## Biography

Todd was a former police officer who had gone back into law enforcement and was 41 years old at the time that he began an explicit chat with a girl he believed to be 13 years old named “Lindsay”. Typing in all caps, he talked about how he wanted to perform cunnilingus and analingus on the decoy (hence the name). Because he wanted it to be a regular thing, he talked about moving down and becoming the girl’s mother’s boyfriend as well as cuckolding her by parading her to perfect strangers, preferably black men, and watching them have sex.

## Arrest and Post-TCaP

He promised to show up at the sting house at a particular time but fell incommunicado. Because of this, the Dateline crew and law enforcement thought he had backed out, so operations were shut down for the night. However, Todd would call the decoy at 1 am saying he was on his way. Because of this, he was pulled over and arrested before he could arrive at the sting house.

Shockingly, upon searching his van, they found a large array of guns, plus one revolver in his pocket that was loaded and cocked along with an assault rifle on the passenger seat, loaded and primed. They found dozens of boxes of hollowpoint ammunition. Even more shocking, and this was not covered in the Dateline story, he had all the materials for a body dump: a chainsaw, tarp, ropes, and a boat anchor.

Spikes remained silent during questioning and bailed out. He fought the charges for three years, but finally accepted a plea which kept him out of jail. He was given 10 years probation and lifetime RSO status, a very light sentence considering the large amount of circumstantial evidence against him which showed that life or lives (if he got in the sting house) would be in danger had he gotten to the meet. In 2012, he was arrested for a parole violation. While at the jail, he entered into an altercation, which when combined with his parole violation ended up giving him a three-year incarceration stint. He was released in August 2015.

## Behind the Scenes

* A search of Spikes’ home uncovered multiple tubs of unmarked VHS tapes with undisclosed content. Considering Spikes was also arrested with a video *and* a digital camera, one could ascertain the contents of the tapes.
* Some have speculated that Spikes' knowledge of the law made him realise the decoy was fake and the meeting was a set-up, and he intended on killing the arresting officers when he arrived.
* During his short time in the local jail, Spikes befriended fellow suspect Daniel Kelly.
	+ The two can be seen smoking and chatting with each other. In exchange for the smokes, Daniel gives Todd a ride in his car.
Eric Gamonal

**Eric Hernan Gamonal** is an unaired suspected predator involved in the Riverside, California edition of **To Catch a Predator**.

## Biography

Eric Gamonal completed his high school diploma in 1997, his criminal justice bachelor's degree in 2001, and on November 19, 2004, he passed the bar test. He had gone to Chicago's Northwestern University School of Law. Before being discovered by the sting, Eric moved to the San Fernando Valley in California and started making payments on a $250,000 debt from law school.

On January 6th, 2006, the first day of the sting, using the screen name "chinaski818," Eric made contact with a decoy he thought was a fourteen-year-old girl named Maria Bothal. Eric was considered a "fast mover," because after verifying that he had seen her age on her profile, he told her she was cute, inquired as to whether she had a boyfriend, asked if he could replace him as his, and inquired as to whether she had had oral sex before.

Eric traveled an hour and a half to the sting house after conducting errands. He had wine coolers with him. According to Perverted Justice website he did not get a chance to meet Chris Hansen. Throughout the the episode are brief clips showing him being arrested, being driven away in the police car, and being processed in a makeshift booking station in a nearby parking lot.

## Behind the scenes

After getting arrested, Eric resigned from the bar while there were charges pending against his license, which effectively barred him from practicing law forever and left him with a sizable student loan balance. On January 17, 2007, Eric was convicted on a single felony charge of Attempted Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child Under 14 Years of Age.
 He was sentenced to six months in jail, five years of probation, and registration as a sex offender for life.

Terry Warner

**Terry Leroy Warner** is a suspected predator confronted in the Ocean County, New Jersey edition of **To Catch a Predator.**

## Biography

Warner, 60 years old, started chatting with a decoy posing as a 13 year old girl. Warner told the decoy the sex acts he wanted to do with her, wanting to be naked, and offered to be her dad or boyfriend. Afterwards, he informed the decoy that he need legal counsel from a lawyer. Later, according to his counsel, Warner informed the decoy they couldn't engage in any sexual activity.

Warner was hesitant as he arrived at a beach close to the sting house. He declared he shouldn't be there and departed when the decoy, who was portrayed by Casey Mauro, tried to get him to stay. Then Chris Hansen emerged and confronted Warner. Warner repeatedly said he wouldn't do anything with the girl, but he later admitted talking to his attorney and bringing a webcam, candles, and a bra.

## Behind the scenes

Warner was charged with attempted sexual assault and child luring. He was sentenced to lifetime parole and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

## Trivia

* Warner was the oldest predator caught in the sting.
* Warner is presumably classified as a Level 1 (low risk) sex offender in the state of New Jersey. State law only allows Level 2 and 3 (medium and high risk) sex offenders' information to be public knowledge.

**Sajjad Altaf Mohammed** is a potential predator featured in the Murphy, Texas edition of **To Catch A Predator**.

## Biography

Sajjad Mohammed, 43, struck up a conversation with a Perverted Justice decoy who was posing as a fourteen-year-old girl. Although his chat log is not available online, it is known that he wanted to have passionate sex with the girl and that they would use condoms. Mohammed admits that he is afraid to go inside the decoy's home since he has seen on television men getting arrested for trying to rape children.

## Behind the scenes

To get to the sting house, Mohammed drives a Honda. He spends an hour driving around the neighborhood instead of going inside the home. Later, he drives off. Billy Myrick, the police chief in Murphy, sees Mohammed leave his driveway and follows him. He pulls him aside and observes that he is traveling with his three children. As he is brought into custody, his kids are taken away.

In his police interview, Mohammed said he didn't want to have sex with the girl and that it was an unfortunate mistake. Mohammed argued that everyone talks sexual in chat rooms and that it is "no big deal." When questioned why he had a sexually explicit conversation with the girl if he wasn't planning to do anything, he says he wished to support her academic endeavors. Mohammed's charges would be dropped along with all the other men that came to the house after the suicide of Louis Conradt.

## Trivia

* Mohammed now works as a lead software engineer.

Fredi first used the screen name "latinhawk63," and claimed to be twenty and named "Freddy". He asked the decoy if she liked older men. When the decoy said she wanted someone older, Fredi changed his age to 35. Throughout the chat, he wanted to control the girl and asked various graphic questions, such as her bra size, whether or not she had sex with her ex-boyfriend, and if she could perform oral sex on him.

The following day, Fredi approaches the same decoy using the screen name "loverman4u20," and poses as a different man who is 30. He asks the girl the same sexually graphic questions from before. He claims his "friend" Freddy would be arriving at the sting house to meet her. The decoy notices Fredi pretending to be two different people and calls him out on it.

Matthew Nash

**Matthew Roy Nash** was a predator involved in the Long Beach, California edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is notable for being a semi-well-known drummer prior to the sting, as well as his rudely blunt "no" when the decoy asked if he brought the weed.

## Biography

Before the sting, Nash was a drummer and founder of Los Angeles based group "the Mutaytor" (which he ran with his wife.) The Mutaytor was founded during the 1998 Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert when Nash set up his drums to beat out polyrhythms for the attendees.

Nash, a 36 year old using the screen name "sugardavis", began a chat with a decoy who was posing as a 13 year old girl. He talked about getting naked in a hot tub, smoking marijuana, and putting oil all over their bodies. Nash drove an hour to the sting house. After making small talk with the decoy, Chris Hansen walks out and sarcastically asks Nash why "he didn't bring his drums". Nash immediatley walks out of the sting house and is arrested by Long Beach police officers. When searched by the officers, they find condoms, lubricant, and a vibrator.

## Behind the scenes

According to Nash's wife, he had a continual problem with chatting to and trying to meet underage girls, although she did not let if affect their marriage, opting to take him to councelling for the issue. Nash pleaded no contest to one count of Attempted Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child Under 14 Years of Age. Even though he did not get prison time, he was sentenced to lifetime registration as a sex offender and was placed on probation until 2010. The judge who sentenced Nash allegedly observed that he was disturbed by his grooming of the decoy.

All Southern California newspapers covered Nash's arrest. His band would not be aware of his arrest until he was shown on Dateline NBC and was convicted. Buck Down, one of member's of the Mutaytor, stated that Nash no longer had any connection with the band and was "nothing more than a historical link to this project". When Nash was arrested, his band mates explained that their booking agency summarily fired them and that their gigs were getting canceled. After the sting, Nash posted an apology online. He apologized for "having sex with people he met online" and stated he thought the decoy was 20 years old several times.

William Rowell

> *"You didn't have to get take a shower" - Rowell approaching the decoy looking like didn't get take one himself.*
>
>

**William Rowell** was a 37 year old service tech operator for slot machines who was caught in the Fortson, Georgia investigation. He is best known for his shower quote and police interview.

## Biography

Before William arrived at the sting, footage from a gas station shows he stopped there to buy a box of condoms. He arrives driving a white van (of course he does), so the decoy, wearing only towels to appear she showered, came out to lure him in. William, looking like he hasn't showered in weeks, complains to the decoy that she didn't have to shower. As he gets in the house, he wants to follow the decoy to her room where she said she was going to change in. Once Chris Hansen comes out of the curtains, he racewalks out of the house, saying Nope as he exits. Once confronted by police, he very quickly lays on the ground and lets police take him. Throughout his interrogation with police, he very poorly denies any intentions of having sex with the decoy, buying the condoms for the decoy, and claims he was tricked. Even as to go far as saying if the opportunity was there he would have sex but was trying not to go that route, and believes its why he thinks he is being charged as a pedophile, when in reality he will be charged as a predator. He served 6 years in jail and is still on the sex offender list.

## Trivia

* At the time of the sting, he was living in a hotel room.
* During his phone call, he describes what dateline is to the decoy. He describes it as setting them up with a model to tell them to come inside, them boom dateline is there to report on it. Then when they leave, "15 cops come out the woodworks".
* He was one of the only Fortson predators not able to make bail with the other one being George Cleary.

Fort Myers, Florida

**Fort Myers, Florida** was the fifth investigation of the *To Catch a Predator* series. The operation saw 24 men arrested over the course of three days.

## Official Synopsis

*Tonight: the strangest parade of suspects you've ever seen.*

## Notable Predators/Characters

Marvin Lakhan - Wanted the decoy to have sex with a cat and stripped naked at the trap house.

Thomas Moffitt *-* Promised to strip naked (like John Kennelly and Marvin Lakhan) but reneged. Later didn't come into the house and was acquitted, Had a long fight with Emily Bicks.

Donald Morrison - A 48 year old who still needs discipline from his mom and also a cookie baker.

David Schumacher - A 21 year old who had previous encounters with the law later made a YouTube channel defending his actions and also goes to role playing chatrooms.

Clifford Wallach - To everyone's horror, brought his 5-year-old son with him to the sting house.

Ghille Suit Cop - Would jump out of the bushes and surprise the predators after their confrontation with Chris Hansen.

## Trivia

* There are three suspected predators who fought their charges. These men were Micheal Wilusz, Brian Gosselin, and Thomas Moffitt. The lawyer in their cases did not fight the accusations, rather the methods of collecting evidence of Perverted Justice, subpoenaing their hard drives the chats were stored on. Initially, PJ refused to comply with the subpoena and after a court order, PJ founder Xavier Von Erck would tell the judge the hard drives were "destroyed". This led to the acquittal of all three men.
* Some of the charges against the men were thrown out because it couldn’t be proven the chat decoys were in the county the sting occurred in.

John Dudinskie

**John Dudinskie** was an investigator featured in the Bowling Green, Kentucky edition of **To Catch a Predator**. He is best known for reading "mouth, pussy, or ass" from Dustin McPhetridge's chatlog during his police interview.

## Biography

John Dudinskie was a agent for the Kentucky Bureau of Investigation. He would become involved with the Bowling Green, Kentucky edition of **To Catch a Predator**. Dudinskie interviewed child sex predators Dustin McPhetridge and Richard Watwood. McPhetridge tried to win Dudinskie's sympathy throughout his interrogation by bringing up his disabilities, his weight, and how he had been bullied. Dudinskie fires back with details of his chatlog that invalidated McPhetridge's attempts at pity. Dudinskie reads "mouth, pussy, or ass," further refuting McPhetridge's lies. He currently works as a Police Major at Emmience Police Department, Kentucky.

## Behind the scenes

In November 2021, Dudinskie was responding to a domestic violence on Thanksgiving night when a 21-year-old man named Marvin Rusby Galvez had threatened his mom and sister with committing suicide. When he arrived, Galvez allegedly warned Dudinskie to leave the house or he would shoot him. Galvez then proceeded to circle Dudinskie's car, brandishing a gun and a second time ordering him to get out. Dudinskie fired the first shots, shooting three times from the driver's side of the car. Dudinskie then laid down in the driver's seat as Galvez retaliated with 12 shots from his gun. Dudinskie exited the car and hid behind it after that. Galvez was eventually captured after running out of ammunition.

Galvez and Dudinskie escaped the shootout unscathed. Galvez was taken into custody and charged with one count of attempted murder of a police officer and two counts of wanton endangerment. Galvez entered into a plea agreement in September 2022, reducing the charge of attempted murder of a police officer to first-degree attempted assault. Dudinskie asked for leniency for Galvez due to his young age and mental health problems. Galvez was sentenced to five years in prison for the assault charge and ten years for the two counts of wanton endangerment to be served consecutively. However, under his plea deal, Galvez would be released from prison with credit for time served after September 15, 2022, and be subjected to five years of probation and parole supervision.

**Casey Mauro** was the female decoy used in the final two stings in Ocean County, NJ and Bowling Green, KY

## Biography

Casey, a babyfaced 19 year old, 5’2” and 95 pounds at the time of her participation on the show, had the perfect look and build for a decoy. She was provocative enough to make sure the predators would stay in order for Chris Hansen to have a chance to confront them. She even had two predators, Travis Fowler and Richard Burnham, attempt to sexually assault her with the latter actually being her very first televised encounter. She is generally regarded as one of the best decoys on the show due to her appearance as well as getting some of the most candid of intentions for her from the predators face to face rather than just in the chat room. Casey also did the voiceovers for the chatlog readings for the final two editions as well.

## Trivia/Post-Predator Activities

* Casey is a SAG member, dancer, and shoe/foot model. She’s had small roles in movies such as “Breaking Legs” and “Pop Music High”.
* She updates her Instagram frequently.

* Casey used to shy away from her time on TCaP, erasing any comments on her YouTube videos that referenced the show or just shutting down the comment section in general, but seems to have recently embraced her time on the show. She did a livestream (which was hilariously low quality) with Chris Hansen on his now defunct “Hansen vs Predators” channel. She also participated in a podcast talking about TCaP from the decoy's perspective. This being said, she doesn’t list her appearances on the show on her iMDB page.
* Having majored in neuroscience, she is now a yoga therapist and nutrition trainer living in Bali.
