    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Eric Alan Lee is a predator that was caught in a Monroe County, Michigan investigation. Lee began communicating with a decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old girl.

During the call, he told the decoy that "people are weird," referring to people setting up sting operations, not referring to himself. The sting took place in a local hotel room. Lee was apprehended by police immediately upon entering the room. Lee told Chris that he came to just "hang out." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Calvin Veldt is a predator caught in a Marquette County, Michigan investigation of Takedown with Chris Hansen. He is notable for offering Chris money in return for him being able to leave. Veldt had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. After finding out the decoy's age, Veldt said, "I would love to fuck the shit out of you. You sound young. Do you swallow?" Veldt told her that she made him "horny," but warned her that if he were to drive far "it better be really good pussy." Veldt and the decoy had a phone call where Veldt said that he had already driven to her town. He stated that he would pay her money just to talk until he felt comfortable with her, due to the fact that he was worried about going to "fucking jail." He said that once he feels comfortable with her, he'd give her $150 and "have a field day" with her. After making some initial pleasantries with the decoy, Chris emerged to confront Veldt.
