[0:00]We picked up that boy to rescue him. Oh, rescue. We're working for an undercover ICE agent, Clyde Harris. He's investigating human trafficking, especially parents giving away adopted children. Okay, so you picked up Quan, and you gave him to this ice agent, Clyde Harris. Right. But he ended up in a storm shelter with two other kids who were both dead. We met Clyde Harris a couple of months ago at a right to life rally downtown, and we we got to talking, and he said, do you want to save kids and maybe make a little extra cash and we said, yes. Save kids or make extra cash. Save kids, of course.
[0:45]Okay. All right. I won't lie, the extra money helps. I'm on disability and my wife's a realtor, you know, business isn't great. How much was he giving you?
[0:59]500 a kid. 500 a kid. That's a hell of a payday for a few hours of work. We had no reason to doubt Clyde, ever. Okay, explain to me how this works. When Agent Harris needs your help, how does he contact you? He calls my cell phone. It's always from a different number. He tells us who we're supposed to meet, when and where. You pretend to be an infertile couple who wants to adopt the Marsdens. People give us their kids, no questions asked. I mean, most of the time anyway. And then what? Where do you take the kids? Um, we we meet Agent Harris out at a truck stop near I94. Okay. Let's try and call Agent Harris. Maybe we can meet him at that truck stop. What's your passcode? 9934 9934. Which numbers Agent Harris? It's the second one, but he changes all the time, so he has to use burner phones for his job, you know. Right. You called Clyde this afternoon? Yes, to tell him that we didn't pick up the child. It's disconnected.
[2:11]So how do you find that trailer? Amy Marsden left behind a bright morning realty pen when she signed the power of attorney form. Looked up Bright Morning Realty, saw Finny's picture. Office address was that of the trailer. You sure he's not involved? I'm pretty freaking positive, boss. The way that this guy reacted when we first talked to him. On top of that, I dumped his phone. There's no connection to the Marsdens, no calls, no texts. His business trip checks out. I think that uh, pitching the kid, it's on his wife Kate. Ben. Yes, sir. Listen, home invasion, attempted murder, is serious time, my friend.
[2:54]Serious time. Come on. Why did you really go see the Marsdens? I mean, they hold not on you. They want your money. You think I'm involved in that sick twisted world? I'm asking. I'm telling. No. A couple took my son and they stuck him in a storm shelter, and they left him there to die. What would you do if it was your son?
[3:42]Give us a sec to get around. Yeah.
[3:54]Chicago PD! Hit it!
[4:00]Another one went out the back!
[4:06]Stop! Freeze!
[4:14]Where's Clyde Dupree? I don't know who that is! You were just in his apartment. He moved out this morning! I thought I could take what he left behind. I mean he'd hand it out inside. I saw the guy pack up and leave in a hurry. He threw that in the hall dumpster. I thought I could find something to sell. Looks like papers for something called Sanctuary Row.
[4:39]How did Clyde know we were onto him? He's cautious. Read the papers, thinks three of his kids are dead. Knows the police are all over him. Guys, I I found something, Sanctuary Row. This darknet stuff is pretty rough. I feel like I need a shower. Exotic animals, Royal stripe ball python, female, 10 years old, pale coloring, well-behaved, will do what you want, very rare. He's selling them about the kids. Yeah, he's got four animals listed. He's selling four kids. Click on the sold link. How many kids has he auctioned off?
[5:10]18. This guy's sick. He sets up a rehoming site so he can find his product and then he auctions them off on the darknet. Says here the auction closes in 19 minutes. Winners will be notified of a pickup location at that time. Start bidding. How are we going to pay for it? It's going to be tough to get flash money in time. Let me worry about that. You make sure you win.
[5:40]Wire transfer won okay? Took the money from my locker and my CI made the actual transfer. Fingerprints on her phone. Good. So, I checked Antonio's phone today. He got a call a couple minutes ago from Woods. Lasted three minutes. Three minutes? Yeah. Well they had something to talk about.
[6:12]Red pickup truck coming in. White male driver, Illinois tags, 57 Adam Victor 2 Union. Copy I see him. This should be the last one. All the auction winners are here now.
[6:30]All right. Plate's registered to Maryann Richter, 788 Pine Place.
[6:44]White male in his 30s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold up. I'm getting a uh, hit on the pickup's address. All right, Daniel Richter, 35, registered sex offender, lives with his mother, Mary Ann. All right, check your phones everybody. I'm going to send over a photo of this guy. I'm going to need a positive.
[7:02]Hey honey, yeah I'm positive I'll be late tonight. That's a positive. Okay. Love you too. We've got a Winnebago. Yeah, that looks like our guy. That's him, 100%. Confirmed. All right, birds just start creeping in real slow. Halsted and same. Ad Water, Antonio on my command.
[7:35]Come on. Come on, come on. Hey, come on out. It's okay. Don't be scared. Police are here. Don't be scared. Can you hear me? Move in.
[8:02]Hey, police! Don't move! Do not move!
[8:12]Back off or I'll kill her! Back off! Stop walking or I'll shoot! I swear to God, I'll shoot! I'll shoot! I swear to God!
[8:42]Where are the other kids?
[8:48]In the camper! Where are the other kids? All of them. You've been doing this six months. And remember. Wrong answer! You got one last chance. Only this time. Enough! If you don't give me the right answer. Enough! Hey, hey, hey, Sarge, if you kill him, we can't get the kids. Okay? I want you to see it coming. Hey! Enough! Hey, hey, Sarge, if you kill him, we can't get the kids. Okay? Hang.
[9:22]Get up! Get up!
