00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: athlete dead after a depraved sextortion scam.

00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I want to

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: thank you for being with us.

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: In Cross Lanes, West Virginia, fifteen year old Brice Tate

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 3: explores social media like any teenager, unaware of the hidden

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: dangers that threaten to isolate and endanger him.

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: It's overwhelming, overwhelming to parents like me who have incredible

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: scrubbed and sunshine all American teen children, to discover your

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: child dead and then to learn is because of literally

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: I had to look for the right word to describe

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: this a depraved sextortion scheme.

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: Listen, they'll go onto their social media accounts, gather their

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 4: friends list, and that's who they tell them they're going

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: to release to. So once you feel like the world's

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 4: going to know what's going to happen, and you feel

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: like you're you know, you have no other way to

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: turn to. Unfortunately a lot of kids in this country

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: take their own love. It is Detective Pain of the

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 4: concae Shoft's office who did the forensic examination on the

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: cell phone and was able to find that Bryce was

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: going through a complicated ordeal called sex torsion.

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: The seventeen year old girl texting Bryce quickly escalates. She

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: sends Bryce racy photos and asks him to reciprocate. Afraid

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: to lose her attention, Bryce eventually gives in to her request,

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: and the script immediately flips. The texture, reveals themselves as

27
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: a scammer, and threatens to send Bryce's explicit photos to

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: everyone he knows unless Bryce pays five hundred dollars.

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: It's just too much for a young teen, especially a

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: very naive young teen.

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: To take in. And now this boy, a boy is dead.

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: You just heard chargeant Jeremy Burn speaking TOSAZ. Before I

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: go straight out to our investigative journalist, Melissa McCarty, I

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: want to go to a very special guest. Joining me

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: is Jennifer Butta, the mother of Jordan to May, a

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: victim of sex stortion. Jennifer, after all your crusading, after

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: everything you have been through, it never ends, It never ends.

38
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: When I heard this, you were the first person I thought.

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 5: Of, Yeah, it just keeps happening to our children. When

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 5: I heard about this case, I was very triggered by

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 5: it because emotionally I have stood in those parents shoes.

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 5: I'm still standing in them, and I'm angry that this

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 5: continues to happen to our children. And when is enough

44
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 5: going to be enough and someone will step in to

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 5: prevent this from taking our kids' life.

46
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Jennifer, I want other parents and other teens to hear

47
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: what you have to say after Jordan, your baby following

48
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: literally a depraved sextortion scheme. That night at supper, I

49
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: sat down with the twins and we talked. A little

50
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: girl at their school had sent topless photos around, and

51
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: of course, the one guy that got the photos sent

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: them to everybody, and the little girl was totally shamed.

53
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: And I said, guys, this happens. Sometimes you're talking to

54
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: somebody and they'll want a picture of you and you

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: send it. I've got to tell you about Jordan. And

56
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: they were stunned and they didn't want to talk about it,

57
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: but I told them about it, and I brought him

58
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: up many times since then. Could you tell the viewers,

59
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: parents like me and young teens what happened to Jordan.

60
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: Jordan was contacted by an alleged female on social media,

61
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: and after sending some messages back and forth regaining his trust,

62
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: he thought he was talking to this beautiful young lady who.

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Had mutual friends with him.

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: This person asked Jordan to send an explicit photo. Once

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: he did, the whole script flipped and immediately they started

66
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: demanding money from him. It started with one thousand dollars.

67
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: He did eventually send them three hundred dollars, but it

68
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 5: wasn't enough, and they kept putting the pressure on him

69
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 5: for hours until he finally said I'm going to take

70
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 5: my own life, and they encouraged it, saying we're going

71
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 5: to watch you die a miserable death. And my son

72
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: did take his own life within six hours.

73
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: Now it has happened again. It has happened over and

74
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: over and.

75
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Over, and I want you to see what this young

76
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: boy's mom has left.

77
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: Now, mommy's here.

78
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 6: Look at your windmail.

79
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 7: Go watch.

80
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 8: Bunny, and you're texts onto. There's been a lot of snow.

81
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 9: Buddy's son.

82
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I almost couldn't play that because that is Amanda and Idam,

83
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Amanda and Adam speaking to their boy just fifteen.

84
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: In the snow at his grave. Listen.

85
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 10: Bryce is Amanda and Adam Tate's only child and the

86
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 10: apple of their eye. The fifteen year old is a

88
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 10: star basketball player, funny goofy, and a Christian Fellowship youth leader.

89
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 10: When Bryce isn't in school, he's lifting weights at the gym,

90
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 10: shooting hoops, or spending time with his loving family.

91
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: Him in life, and then after this deadly depraved sextortion scam,

92
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: he is dead and his mother and father visit him

93
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: at the cemetery.

94
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: On a Thursday afternoon, Bryce heads to the gym after school.

95
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: If Bryce gets at the texture claims she's a junior

96
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: at another high school and has seen Bryce at the

97
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: gym before. She knows some of his friends who told

98
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 3: her about his impressive basketball skills and wanted to introduce herself.

99
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: The teens flirt back and forth all afternoon.

100
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 11: Bryce comes home from the gym, still engrossed in his

104
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 11: Bryce heads outside to shoose some hoops, but he's distracted

105
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 11: by his new.

00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 12: girl who convinced him she went to a high school

109
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 12: in town. She name drops his friends in this conversation,

110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 12: saying she knows them in passing. They've mentioned Bryce before,

111
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 12: gave him gave his phone number to her because she

112
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 12: was interested in maybe having a relationship with him at

113
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 12: some point. So these teens have a conversation. They're flirting,

114
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 12: she's escalating, and within three hours, this girl reveals herself

115
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 12: as a scammer and wants five hundred dollars from Bryce

116
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 12: to not send nude photos that he gave her to

117
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 12: everyone he knows. And this fifteen year old boy, who

118
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 12: only has thirty dollars in his bank account is pushed

119
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 12: to suicide because they tell him they will ruin his life.

120
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 10: Just after seven pm, Amanda and Adam Tait are shocked

121
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 10: by the sound of a gunshot and rush into Adam's

122
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 10: man cave. They're happy teenager shot himself. The hysterical parents

123
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 10: call nine one one, but Bryce was gone the moment

124
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 10: he pulled the trigger. What no one understands is why

125
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 10: Bryce would take his own life.

126
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 4: He is on November six that the parents of Bryce

127
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: Tate had called nine one one because their son had

128
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: taken his own life with a firearm.

129
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: You were hearing, Sergeant Jeremy Burns from our friends at

130
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: WHS to Tanya Jordan joining a special guest, the chief

131
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: parent officer at Bark Parental.

132
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: She's the author of parenting in a tech world.

133
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: It's just too much for a teen that young to

134
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: take in that if a naked photo of them or

135
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: a body part of them goes out to their family

136
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: or their friends, people at school, death would be better

137
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: than that. They can't understand what's happening. But to Tanya,

138
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: this is happening all over the country.

139
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: This scammer, this scammer.

140
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: That might as well have held a gun to this

141
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: teen boy's head, had thousands and thousands of teen children,

142
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: boys and girls that he was targeting.

143
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: How does it happen? Explain to me how it happened.

144
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: And I told my children right to their face, I've

145
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: seen all your body parts since you were born. I

146
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: don't care if I get a picture of your body part,

147
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: don't care.

148
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: This is what happened.

149
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: To Jordan to make this is what happened to Bryce

150
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: and I name out people their age and this has

151
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: happened to but children that young to Tellia, they don't understand.

152
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 13: Our brains are not fully formed until we're in our

153
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 13: mid twenties, and so children are not capable because of

154
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 13: their prefrontal cortex to make the right decisions all the time.

155
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 13: They need to know that they can come to it

156
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 13: at any time and let you know about bad things

157
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 13: that have happened, and you're not going to smack the

158
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 13: phone out of their hand or ground them for a year,

159
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 13: because to your point, it is not better to die

160
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 13: by suicide than to have to fess up to this

161
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 13: shameful and embarrassing decision. It's also not their fault because

162
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 13: they're being targeted. They're being targeted on Instagram, on TikTok,

163
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 13: on text message, on roadblocks, on discord, YouTube, you name it.

164
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 13: They're being targeted everywhere, and they think that they've made

165
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 13: a connection, a potential love interest. It is normal for

166
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 13: them to feel this excitement, but it's not normal to

167
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 13: have such odds stacked against them, and so it's just

168
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 13: it's heartbreaking.

169
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: You know.

170
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: Melissa McCarty joining US renowned investigative journalist and author, Melissa again,

171
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us, Melissa. The scammer gets

172
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: into their social media, the victims social media, they friend

173
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: all their friends, they find out who they are chatting with,

174
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: who's on their list.

175
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: You on Insta, you can.

176
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: See everybody that you're friends with and threaten to expose

177
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: the child to them with the child's own naked photo.

178
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: They have tweedled out of them. What happened here, Melissa.

179
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 8: This was a targeted operation and it's a wide skill operation.

180
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 8: These scammers how they work, and just like you say,

181
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 8: they look into the social media. It's easy for them

182
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 8: to earn his trust by saying I know you from

183
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 8: the gym, we have mutual friends. They've already done a

184
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 8: surveillance on his life before targeting him. So when they

185
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 8: reached out and he received that random text messages from

186
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 8: an unknown number at four point thirty like any other day,

187
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 8: it was someone posing, a scammer posing as a teenage girl.

188
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 8: So that conversation was able to move so quickly and

189
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 8: escalate so fast because Bryce Tate ended up getting one

190
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 8: hundred and twenty text messages within a three hour time

191
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 8: span before he ended up taking his life. And the

192
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 8: operation is to put him in a state of panic

193
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 8: so he can't do anything but act in an irrational

194
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 8: way to where he doesn't have time to think. He

195
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 8: just acted. And it's the fear organized operation targeting young teenagers.

196
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: While you were talking, Melissa McCarty, all I can think

197
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: about is my own boy, John David two. Doctor Sherry

198
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Schwartz joining us forensic psychologist at Pantheromitigation dot com. Doctor Sherry,

199
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I have thousands and thousands of videos of my son

200
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: and daughter, but she's more reticent than my son. I've

201
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: got photos videos just like that of him crazy dancing

202
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: all over the house, of me in the front yard

203
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: saying run.

204
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: John David, Run, Run, run as fast as.

205
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: You can, and we video him and it never got old,

206
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: running around the front yard, just the two of them.

207
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: So full of joy and life. And that's all this.

208
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: Mom and dad have left watching those videos.

209
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: Over and over.

210
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: And you know how many videos I've got them at

211
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: the cemetery. It's it's heartbreaking and I'll circle back to Titania.

212
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: But doctor Sherry, a lot of parents don't want to

213
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: tell their children. They don't want to think, oh, my

214
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: child might send a nude photo my child might send

215
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: a topless photo.

216
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: It happens in this world, but you don't want your

217
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: child dead.

218
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: And did you hear what Melissa McCarty was saying in

219
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Sidney summer that he was bombarded. I think he got

220
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: up to around three hundred, but I know in the

221
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: space of like an hour he got one hundred and

222
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: twenty threatening text messages. Your life will be ruined. I

223
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: will make sure I ruin your life. What will your

224
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: family say when they see your penis? What will your family?

225
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: What will your mom think about you? Then get the money?

226
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: It just it's horrible, doctor Sherry.

227
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 14: It's horrible, and it's a tactic designed to not give

228
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 14: the child a chance to think. It's used on adults too,

229
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 14: and it's a pretty effective tactic. Right when I want

230
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 14: you to do something and I want to take control

231
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 14: of your life, I'm just going to bombard you and

232
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 14: not give you a moment to think about how to

233
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 14: solve the problem without giving me exactly what I want.

234
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 14: This is classic predatory behavior, grooming the child to get

235
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 14: these photos and making them think they're a friend appear,

236
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 14: and then turning around and saying, now I'm going to

237
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 14: blow up your life. I'm going to ruin your life

238
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 14: and to continue to bombard you with these messages and

239
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 14: a child. One of your guests said about the brain

240
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 14: development and not having good impulse control, which is true,

241
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 14: and so you wouldn't think, let me put down the phone.

242
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 14: You're nervous and you're thinking about how to solve the problem.

243
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 8: It's just horrible.

244
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: And you know, another thing got to Sherry Schwartz when

245
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: we're at the supper table and we're talking about this

246
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: kid and that kid that all go to school with John,

247
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: David and Lucy, and they'll.

248
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: Say, well, so and so is dating so and so.

249
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, they don't even drive. What do you mean

250
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: they're dating, They're just talking.

251
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, what talking on the phone.

252
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, No, their Insta, their Snapchatre.

253
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: That's dating in their minds. And these scammers.

254
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: Can go on the victims wherever they are on install

255
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: on Snapchat, and they can see very easily.

256
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: Who they have friended. I'll just use that.

257
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Term, although it doesn't apply to everything. And then they

258
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: can then find out all this what the child thinks

259
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: is private info.

260
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I go to ABC school, I.

261
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: Play soccer, I play football, I'm in the cooking club

262
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: and so forth, and so on, and so when the

263
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: scammer speaks to the child, the scammer has enough information

264
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: to make it seem real.

265
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: It really is a cute girl from the high school

266
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: across town.

267
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 14: That's how it happens, exactly, That's exactly how it happens.

268
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 14: In fact, one of the pieces of advice that police

269
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 14: will give out to school age children their parents is

270
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 14: don't write their name on their backpack. It's the same

271
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 14: principle because a predator can call out their name, Hey, Alyssa,

272
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 14: and the child doesn't realize, oh, it's on my backpack,

273
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 14: so that's where the predator got it. It's it's the

274
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 14: same idea the child doesn't think about, Oh I posted

275
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 14: these things on my social media and this person could

276
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 14: be using this against me.

277
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 15: Hey Bryce, let me tell him this. Hey Bryce, mommy

278
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 15: need to put these tell girl boots on, because you

279
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 15: wouldn't believe it at our house as wearing tennis shoes.

280
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 15: After we went to the gym and I busted my

281
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 15: butt twice.

282
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 16: Yes, she didn't get hurt.

283
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 9: She's all right.

284
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 15: You hurt my back and everything.

285
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 3: I love you, Bryce, Bryce Tait a high school honor

286

Speaker 3: student enjoys sports and family time, but his safety is

287
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: threatened when a text from an unknown number, beinging to

288
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: be a neighborhood girl, lures him into sending explicit photos,

289
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: unaware it's a digital deception for financial gain.

290
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Joining me is Joe Cunningham, high profile lawyer who specializes

291
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: in sextortion cases, who has previously represented the family of

292
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: Timothy Barnett, who is the.

293
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: Thirteen thirteen, one three.

294
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: Year old victim of this type of scam, a deadly scam,

295
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: and you can find him at Joe Cunningham Law dot com. Joe,

296
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. I wish we were

297
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: speaking under different circumstances, but in the case, one of

298
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the many cases that you've handled, it struck me that

299
00:17:53,359 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: Tim Timmy Timothy Barnett was just thirteen years old, young

300
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: to even process what's happening. And then as parents find

301
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: him dead and.

302
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: It doesn't end.

303
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, you would think, Joe Cunningham, that once you

304
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: put out a psa public service announcement and you publicize it,

305
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and I publicize it and it's on all the news outlets,

306
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: that parents would talk to their children and children would understand,

307
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: but they're too young to understand.

308
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 17: Joe, explain, that's true, Nancy, and these cases are some

309
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 17: of the most emotionally tough cases that I deal with. They,

310
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 17: you know, they follow a similar pattern and a similar script,

311
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 17: and the results are always just shattering. I mean, I'm

312
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 17: a I'm a parent, you're a parent, And I got

313
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 17: a committee Nancy for ringing the bell on this issue

314
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 17: so early on, and it still amazed me how many

315
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 17: parents have no idea about these sextortion schemes that are

316
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 17: going on, and how just how evil they are as well.

317
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 17: I can't think of anybody more evil than those people

318
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 17: on the other side of their phones or their computer screens.

319
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 17: Who are you know, have these schemes ongoing to try

320
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 17: to attack the most vulnerable people in this world are children.

321
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:28,600

324
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: To Todd Shipley joining US.

325
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: Digital cybercrime expert former detective in Reno, Nevada, PD twenty

326
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: five years in LA and author of Surviving a cyber Attack,

327
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Securing Social Media, Protecting Your Home, Investigating Internet crimes and

328
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: on and on. Todd, thank you for being with us,

329
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: Todd after joining us today, Todd, I don't know if

330
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: you heard her. Is Jennifer Buta and Jennifer's son, Jordan

331
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: DeMay was one of the first cases like this I investigated, Todd.

332
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: And about two weeks after that, Todd, my producer sent

333
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: me at tain sextortion case and I said, we just

334
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: covered that. Do you not remember, Jennifer, we just did that,

335
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: and she said, this is a different one. And then

336
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: it hit me like a ton of bricks. Todd Shipley,

337
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: how common this is?

338
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: Todd.

339
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 16: It's too common, and that becomes the problem that these

340
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 16: scammers have figured out a different way to try to

341
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 16: go after our children. And that's why I write about

342
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 16: it my latest book about how to protect our kids

343
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 16: and what to look for, because there are sometimes signs

344
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 16: that these things are occurring, and we've got to be

345
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 16: better about trying to figure out what's happening to our

346
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 16: children because these attackers prey on them every day, and

347
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 16: they're going out there constantly looking for this kind of

348
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 16: thing to get small amounts of money relatively, but they're

349
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 16: having a huge impact on our children, and it's terrible.

350
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 4: It's straight up blackmail, is what it is. It's blackmail,

351
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 4: it's cyberbullying, it's extortion. There's so many things going on

352
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: at this and it puts fear in the kids, into

353
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 4: their hearts and minds.

354
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 11: In the twenty minutes before taking his own life, Bryce

355
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 11: receives one hundred and twenty text messages from the sextortionist.

356
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 11: Bryce offers the only money he has access to, thirty dollars,

357
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 11: but the sextortionist tells him it isn't enough. The person

358
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 11: on the other side of the phone actually encourages Bryce

359
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 11: to kill himself, writing his life is already over.

360
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: Adam and Amanda Tape devastated, unable to pick up the

361
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: Christmas gifts already underneath the tree. Bryce knew he could

362
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: confide in them about anything. The scammer's ability to shatter

363
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 3: that bond so quickly is a testament to their insidious power.

364
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: From our friends at WHS to Jennifer Buttah joining us,

365
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: Jordan de May's mother who has gone on a crusade

366
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: after she lost her a boy to a sextortionist. And

367
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, Jennifer, sextortion really is. It's a euphemism It's

368
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: like putting perfume on the pig. Because the torture that

369
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Jordan went through, the emotional and mental torture he went through,

370
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: and before he killed himself, it's excruciating. Explain to the

371
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: listeners and viewers how you discovered that Jordan was dead.

372
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 5: Jordan sent me a text message at three forty one

373
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 5: in the morning that said mother, I love you, and

374
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: when I got up the next morning and saw it,

375
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 5: I texted him back. He did not respond. I texted

376
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 5: him a second time. He didn't respond. And Jordan and

377
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: I were very very close. He would always respond to me,

378
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 5: and something just told me things were very wrong. Because

379
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: Jordan would respond. I texted him a third time, and

380
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 5: when he didn't respond, I reached out to his girlfriend

381
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: to see if he was at school. Then I contacted

382
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: his dad, and his dad found him in his bedroom

383
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: and he had taken his own life.

384
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 18: Ogashi, pretending to be this young woman, persuaded Jordan to

385
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 18: send a sexually explicit image of himself. Once Samuel Ogashi

386
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 18: had that sexually explicit image in his hand, he then

387
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 18: turned to extort Jordan de May for money, threatening to

388
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 18: reveal the image to Jordan's family and friends if he

389
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 18: did not comply.

390
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 19: This is something that probably would would have been laughing

391
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 19: about in ten or fifteen years, after he's graduated college

392
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 19: and gotten married and had kids and bought his first

393
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 19: home and got a career job and did all the things.

394
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 19: You'd look back and kind of like that was stipid, right,

395
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 19: But in that moment, you can't. They're not old enough

396
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 19: to understand that. They're not developed enough to understand.

397
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: You're hearing Jordan's dad as John May speaking back to

398
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: Jordan's mother, Jennifer, you know what John's right. Years ahead

399
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: they would say, hey, can you remember when I said

400
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: that naked picture?

401
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: What was I thinking?

402
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: And everyone would have laughed, and even if it was

403
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: even mentioned, it would just be, you know, a blip

404
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: on the radar, a speedbot that happened ten years before.

405
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: You and Jordan had a very very close relationship. What

406
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: did this scammer say to him that made him feel

407
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: his only choice was death.

408
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 5: They flooded Jordan with messages as well, and they put

409
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 5: pressure on by having a countdown so he would have

410
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 5: to do things within a certain period of time, and

411
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 5: it really ramped up the anxiety for him. He was

412
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: begging them to stop. He was begging for his own life.

413
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 5: And when he was worn out and could not go

414
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 5: anymore and said he would take his own life, they

415
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: encouraged that, and in the middle of the night, my

416
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 5: son took his own life alone. And that's something that

417
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 5: no child should have to go through.

418
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: This no child to Tanya Jordan Bark, Rental Control Chief

419
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Parent Officer.

420
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: And I have BARK.

421
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: I know I'm not a paid ambassador or sponsor, but

422
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: Bark is a feature you put on your child's devices

423
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: and every time.

424
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: It's so very word sensitive.

425
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: And I use this example because it's the best example

426
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: I can think of.

427
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: I got an alert.

428
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: I nearly fell off my chair because I was sitting

429
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: right here in the studio in a break. I looked

430
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: over and I got a BARK alert that John David

431
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: had communicated about self harm.

432
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm like what.

433
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: I immediately, you know, stopped the taping and I looked.

434
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: He is a soccer goalie and he saved a goal

435
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: and it was really hard. He did a horizontal dive.

436
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Of course I have a picture of it. He's completely

437
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: horizontal and his arm went through the net and he

438
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: got a big bruise and he go in the picture

439
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: it's him showing.

440
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Off of Bruce.

441
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: He goes, it was worth that, and he's talking about

442
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: he made the save. But when I saw self harm,

443
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I was so upset. And when I'm trying to think,

444
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: that's how sensitive it is. The other day I got

445
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: one t Tarnia an alert of an ugly word or

446
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: something to do with sex. I'm like, oh, I looked

447
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: at it.

448
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: Guess what it was. The Nancy Gray Show.

449
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: We were talking about Sean Combs and he is a

450
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: subscriber and it came up on Bark. I'm like, that said,

451
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you, to Tanya, because you

452
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: deal with this every day. You can explain better than

453
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: I can't. And maybe Joe Cunningham can explain it as well.

454
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: How the scammer, this person like in George's case, Agashi,

455
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Samuel Agashi far thousands of miles away. How does he

456
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: know what's happening in the target's life.

457
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 2: How did he notice? Say?

458
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Julie from West Side High and I've been

Speaker 2: We all go to the same blah. Blah blah blah.

462
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: How do they get the information on the target to

463
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: make themselves so believable.

464
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 13: You know, it starts with us, It starts with the parents.

465
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 13: We are curating a digital footprint for our children. So

466
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 13: it's very important if and when you post anything about

467
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 13: your child online a think twice, be you only post privately.

468
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 13: Do not make anything public on your Instagram, on your Facebook, please,

469
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 13: because they will go to the parents' accounts to figure

470
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 13: out what they put about their kids. Then if your

471
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 13: children have social media, which I don't recommend until at

472
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 13: least they're sixteen years old, they need to have private accounts.

473
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 13: These sextortionists and predators and pedophiles can find your children

474
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 13: very easily online, especially because even if they have a

475
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 13: private account on Instagram, they can put in their bio

476
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 13: you know, find me on Snapchat and their username. They

477
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 13: leave little breadcrumbs and trails. The predators can see who

478
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 13: they're connected to, befriend them, and it only takes one

479
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 13: or two acceptance or accepting of a friend request or

480
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 13: a quick ad on snap to help them put the

481
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 13: puzzle pieces together to give them just enough information to

482
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 13: pretend to be a peer of your child. And trick them.

483
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 13: Good kids make bad choices. Smart children are being fooled

484
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 13: every day. The FBI has reported that sextortion is a

485
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 13: that we all need to be paying attention to, and

486
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 13: it's time for parents to wake up.

487
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: He was on November six that the parents of Bryce

488
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: Tate had called nine one one because their son had

489
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: taken his own life with a firearm.

490
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 10: Just after seven pm. Amanda and Adam Tate are shocked

491
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 10: by the sound of a gunshot and rush into Adam's

492
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 10: man cave. Their happy teenager shot himself. The hysterical parents

493
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 10: called nine one one, but Bryce was gone the moment

494
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 10: he pulled the trigger. What no one understands is why

495
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 10: Bryce would take his own life.

496
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: In just three hours. The interaction escalates to the unimaginable.

497
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: After being pressured into sending explicit photos, they demanded five

498
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 3: hundred dollars or they would release the photo to family

499
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: and friends. When Bryce said he didn't have the money,

500
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: their tax turned deadly.

501
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: This horrific sixtortion, I call it a murder on the

502
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: heels of the same scenario with a little boy.

503
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: Timothy Barnett it was a morning like.

504
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 7: Every other morning.

505
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 16: My husband and I got up with.

506
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 7: The alarm, He went about his day walk out the

507
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 7: front door. A few minutes later, I get a phone

508
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 7: call saying, lock the doors and check on my kids.

509
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 7: So I go about the kid's rooms. They're all there

510
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 7: except for Timothy. So I check to see if he

511
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 7: was in the bathroom.

512
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 8: He wasn't.

513
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 7: Checked the kitchen and he wasn't there. So I walked

514
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 7: out to the garage again. He wasn't there, and panic

515
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 7: set in. So I called my husband back and I said,

516
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 7: what's going on. He's like someone's sleeping in her front

517
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 7: yard and I said, I can't find Timothy.

518
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 9: And at that point I.

519
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 7: Realized I woke up into every mother's nightmare.

520
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: She can't find her little boy, Timmy Timothy. And then

521
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the husband says, somebody's sleeping in the front yard.

522
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 10: The body in the front yard is Timothy. Cameras showed

523
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 10: Timothy sitting in the family car for two hours the

524
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 10: night before, frantically rolling on his phone. Timothy's napchat reveals

525
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 10: the thirteen year old sent a stranger thirty five dollars

526
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 10: a day to prevent them posting an explicit photo of

527
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 10: him online. One of Timothy's last messages begged the stranger

528
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 10: to stop reading, please, I'm just a child.

529
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, I was naive enough to not think that predators.

530
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 8: Well, I knew that there were predators out there.

531
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 7: I didn't think that there were predators so bold that

532
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 7: would want to hurt a thirteen year old And there are.

533
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: Can you even imagine your thirteen year old child killing

534
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: themselves and they're lying out in the front yard while

535
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for them inside. Joe Cunningham with US high

536
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: profile lawyer who specializes in cases just like this, and

537
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: he represented that beautiful mom of Timmy Barnett, just thirteen

538
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: years old. But when you say predator, that's really not

539
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: the right word. Have you ever actually seen a hyena?

540
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: Just a freaky, high pitched laugh.

541
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like crazy laugh, like maybe the Joker on Batman,

542
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: like crazy high pitch kind of cross between a yell

543
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: and a scream. And they will attack a living person

544
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: if that living person is trying to drag away a

545
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: dead carcass, they will attack the living person.

546
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: And they go in packs.

547
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: They're evil, they smell, they smell, They eat rotting, decayed flesh.

548
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: That's what these scammers.

549
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Scammers not even the right word they're killers, that's what

550
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: they are, to go after our babies, our children. I

551
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: mean since Timmy's case that you worked on, there have

552
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: been so many others, including the one we're covering right now.

553
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: Joe.

554
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 16: Yeah.

555
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 17: I think as of late, there's been over two thousand

556
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 17: cases in the United States. And you're right, Nancy, this

557
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 17: is just pure evil and a lot of it's stemming

558
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 17: from these gangs along the Ivory Coast of Africa, but

559
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 17: it's happening all over the globe. Groups like seven sixty

560
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 17: four who are encouraging kids to either mulate themselves or

561
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 17: carve those numbers, those gang numbers into their.

562
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: Bodys or them up.

563
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: Wait, we wait, they trick children into mutilating, cutting themselves.

564
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 17: That's right, that's right, this group seven sixty four, and

565
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 17: then oftentimes and request them to upload pictures of the

566
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 17: cuts and if it's not deep enough, to ask them

567
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 17: to cut deep. I mean, it is completely sadistic, Nancy,

568
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 17: as to what's going on. There are many groups and

569
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 17: gangs in it for the money, and there are other

570
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 17: groups that are in it just for the torture of

571
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 17: our kids. And then they'll encourage those kids to bring

572
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 17: their younger siblings into the mix. What's happening right now

573
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 17: is it should be a wake up call for all

574
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 17: parents right now.

575
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

576
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: In the crucial twenty minutes before his death, scammers relentlessly

577
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 3: pressure Bryce to end his life, culminating in a tragic

578
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 3: gunshot that plunges his parents into unfathorable greeting.

Speaker 1: I will never forget him.

600
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,160
