@@canofworms1864 Oh sh!t now that you mention it, the military does have a habit of swooping in when one of their own is involved. Whew, buddy, he is *in* for it.
Like bruh my heart skipped a beat when they showed the that kit, I'm so glad I'm watching this through CTK cause without them as a buffer I probably would have not been able to watch this 🤮🤮🤮
Buff would be terrible on one of these stings, Chris would be having his conversation and half way through you'd hear Buff in the background like "Can we taze him already" 🤣🤣
That guy was going to kidnap, assault and possibly murder her. We all know what that camera was for. That kit and his initial attempt to lure her to his car makes it blatantly clear what his intentions were. Edit: this guy is a serial killer at the start of his game.
@dylan murphy it’s fine if u give u kid a phone and let them on the internet as long as they are not to young and you teach them about internet safety and about creeps
The fact that buff pro was almost in tears about the thought of what the guy was going to do gives me a lot of respect for him, I can relate too, sometimes I hear about the possibility of awful things happening and hear about awful things that happen and it is painful for me to think about.
"Bailey" always acts nervous and shy when the guy comes in the kitchen, but on this one it seemed like she was legit scared and starting to freak out. I bet she had that instinctual feeling you get when you know you are in danger. I wonder if Chris made the decision to show himself early because he could hear and see what was happening or if the actress has some sort of emergency signal and she sent it. After doing so many episodes, I'm sure the actors and the crew recognize "normal" behavior and realized that this guy was not behaving how they expected him to. This was a scary one.
@@stevensmileyprod I had forgotten about this. I watched it again after your comment. The entire atmosphere of this encounter is eerie. Imagine if this had been legit and not a set up for the show. She'd be dead or worse.
Can you imagine? If they didn’t catch him, a young girl would be somewhere in a ditch and a family would be devastated missing their daughter. This is Matt Gaetz creepy republican shit!
I feel like they protect me every single day. Champions. Man, I know that Buff and Ken would go full scholarship Training Day on ANY damn fool that would even try to hurt me
the fact that he has a kill kit in his car, ready to go, makes it seem like this may not have been his first time luring someone into his car 'to show them around'...
Gave me strange Ted Bundy Car vibes. He was prepared. Like this is his routine. It makes me wonder if there have been other people in that car and if so, how many?
@@jenobi7266 "if there have been other people in that car" meaning possibly lured other people forced them to do shit then killed. obviously they wouldnt be in the car at the time lol
@@brianhayes2164 I totally misinterpreted Danielle’s comment, my bad. I at first thought they meant if there had been any other perpetrators inside his vehicle waiting to assault the girl. It makes little sense now that I think about it, sorry.
I’m positive the reason he stood at the door and wouldn’t even enter at all was so he didn’t leave any trace of himself being there. He made sure to not even touch the door, it looked strange leaning in like that, most people would have held the door or at least touched it while talking but he made sure he didn’t touch anything which is what made his position at the door seem so unnatural to me. He was planning something very sinister there’s no doubt at all, and all the things they mentioned were all together not in different places.
Dude exactly! The condoms weren’t in like the glove box or the backseat pockets- someplace you’d naturally put them and have easy access to They were clearly put with all of the other sinister shit in the trunk at the same time, for the same reason imo
@@c0dex306 To see how sometimes we are naives. After i read your comment is when i got that even the camera was in the trunk. And about what op writed first. I thought that a really naive 12 years old could had falled maybe the driving situation to get to the car, but i feel terrified that i'm a grown adult and didn't see how he doesn't touch the door. Some JCS shit.
@@11jiv And he panicked so much that it comes to my mind that he could be thinking that they knew some previous thing he did. If a person went missing nearby he should be taked suspect.
Fun fact: this guy never even WENT to fight. He was a mechanic for the ACTUAL fighters. He definitely joined the military to use it as an excuse. You don’t get PTSD from fixing tanks unless a tank becomes sentient and tries to run you over 💀
How do you know whether or not you can't get PTSD by working out tanks for the fighters?! Were you there or in any military campaign (a.k.a. war)? People deal with things differently. Not saying what he did was right.
@@rumpelmusic847 PTSD could very well be had regardless of fighting, "Shellshock" was literally just from the drumming artillery from back in WW1 and not specific to the fighting across no-man's land and the trenches
@@nerdycurls6253 I guess what I really meant was if this wasn't a sting operation in general, not specifically the show. In any case the truth of the matter is this guy was very likely about to kidnap and possibly murder a young girl...
I have PTSD and shit like this pisses me off. You can can be an arsehole or a psycho AND have PTSD. Ptsd doesn't turn you into a monster. Saying PTSD is why he's doing stuff just boils my blood. It's horrific
I agree man. Just because PTSD fucks with your brain doesn't mean it automatically turns you into a killer. I cannot stand it when people try to use mental health as an excuse
Exactly. Ive had PTSD for years and Im no more violent than the next person. Even less than some I know lol I have a very vocal family, believe me they would have told me lol
I read elsewhere, and who knows if it's true, this guy was only in two years, has never deployed, and was thought of as a generally creepy guy amongst fellow soldiers
True, but I can only hope that there are only a few real 13-year-olds in bad situations who would think having a near 30 year old “boyfriend” is a good idea. Pretty sure 99% of 13-yos are more interested in the cute boy their age in math class…not some balding near 30 yo who looks like this guy, and even at 13, most know that having random dudes to your house is too sketchy.
We have to hope that it was the first time he went this far, because he clearly spent some time making a plan. He was _absolutely_ going to kidnap and probably murder this girl. If he had tried to snatch her out of the house, a neighbor might've heard her scream before he could silence her. That's why he was trying to yet her somewhere more remote and isolated, like a parking lot or the beach.
The creepiest and most disturbing thing is finding out about these people and never knowing what they've ALREADY done- and got away with. It's terrifying.
Being a veteran myself, this dude is gross. Don’t go pullin that deployment BS as an excuse for meeting an underage girl. On a lighter note! Buff looks dope in red! Let’s see the whip Ken gave you Dane!!!!
Another fellow veteran here. I think that this should serve as a reminder to everyone that there are monsters everywhere. Just because someone tells you that they are a veteran does not mean you should let your guard down. Unfortunately, that isn't the only veteran to pop up on TCAP. I remember my coworkers watching an episode in our shop clowning on an idiot that showed up wearing his unit cap.
And you know even if this guy was deployed he was an S1 pog and didn't do shit but sit at the mccs using up all the WiFi, stealing everyone else's war stories for his own.
I’m not a veteran but I am a proud military brat. Seeing this stuff, even as an excuse to speed, pisses me off. I respect your service and the sacrifices you made for or home but that doesn’t mean you can do this. Then there’s stolen valor and and dishonorable discarded who make false claims. Those are a different level of rage
My boss is a veteran with PTSD. He's told me a lot about his time, and it was clearly very traumatizing. But he doesn't cope by molesting kids, he copes like a regular adult who isn't a pervert.
I was abused and traumatized by my father, who never molested me but was incredibly creepy around kids. I don’t want kids, but at the same time, I’m not hunting them down, nor do I have any interest in that. PTSD can make you do irrational things, like in my case, not want to go outside some days or be generally unmotivated, but it doesn’t destroy your ethical compass or make you interested in kids or violent toward others necessarily. I’ve never been a violent person and violence or any sort of aggression terrifies me. I’m more like the Michael Jackson song Beat It in an awkward situation. I’ve never been in a war, but I don’t think you can justify targeting innocent kids like that with going to war. If anything, you’d think you’d want to target the people responsible for your PTSD, if anyone. I didn’t even have violent intent toward my father. I just wanted him to disappear - or be better.
Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest TH-camr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear walte
I mean i know he'd still go to jail but he could say those are just really bad auto correct faliures he just says you like text is what i meant to type and all that stuff
As a veteran myself, all I can say is no... The military doesn't put those thoughts in your head no matter how traumatic it can be. This dude was sick for years.
I get the feeling he joined the military just so he would have an excuse to do fucked up things during and after. There have been serial killers before that have done this. Usually the military is so weirded out by them but let them join since it’s a wartime and they need a pencil pusher they can tuck away anyway.
Apparently the guy didn't even see any action. I don't remember the details, but I know the community managed to discover that Buchanan was full of shit.
Hey guys! They did use his kill kit as evidence. If you remember what other dudes get charged with it's usually "soliciting a minor" or something along those lines. They charged him with "attempted sexual assault 2". To prove it, that kill kit was absolutely essential. They gave him the most. I hope he does more than 3 years.
There’s actually a pretty popular theory that states that he’s a serial killer and he jsut hasn’t been caught but thankfully Chris was able to stop him
@@aaronknauss if the story would be true Hansen didnt stop him. After 3 years he is long out and about doing his thing. He could become one in the future maybe.
Compared to the other usual clowns, this guy was genuinely scary. The kit, the camera, trying to lure her outside so his prints aren't in the house, he knew what he was doing, was this really his first time? Shit, was it his last?
There’s no point if there’s been no reports I get what your saying but for they can’t send a search team if there’s been no reports I guess it’s like you have to wait 48 hours to report a missing person but the first 48 hours of a kidnapping is the most crucial
Personal speculations: He didn’t want to come in because he didn’t want to leave any evidence that he had been inside the house when the police inevitably investigated the crime he was planning to commit that night. The reason he gave up so quickly was probably because he hadn’t actually /done/ anything yet and felt he had a chance to weasel out of the consequences if he played along.
i think he knew he'd get a lot less time if he went ahead and admitted to what he'd intended to do. maybe so he didn't get caught for what he'd already done. either way, i'm almost positive his mindset is "a few years to think about and perfect my crime and then be out to commit it"
"I was going to show her around Fairfield". Within the context of who the decoy is supposed to be, she is the homeowners daughter and Fairfield would be her home town, so a town tour would never be needed in this scenario. So that line alone is the creepiest thing (besides the kill kit) about this whole interaction. And since this whole sting took place an hour or 2 away from me in Connecticut. Thank you Chris Hansen! My gratitude is immeasurable, and please come back soon!
The wording he gives when he tries to lure her outside: "What if I take you to an empty parking lot and *tell* you to drive?" Not teach, TELL. He was definitely gonna threaten her to drive with the gun to her head.
This one was probably the scariest one I’ve seen… Yeah you can’t “assume” he was going to use anything more than the condoms, but the fact he was trying so hard to get her to leave with him in that same vehicle certainly doesn’t paint a comforting image at all. They kept commenting on the gun, but the knife, duct tape, and camera scared me more tbh. I feel like those items could be way more threatening than merely having a loaded gun in your vehicle, especially considering the circumstances…
Yeah I also feel like the duct tape, camera, and knife are more out of place. Those are things you'd usually keep on your person, or not in a vehicle. I keep tools and stuff in my car - rags, an actual tool kit, jump cables, etc. Not duct tape though, it's not really a traditional item your likely to need in your car. Combined with the camera, weapons, and an underage girl he tried to lure out... Very disturbing imagery
An earlier comment pointed out something really interesting. The fact that the condoms were placed with the duct tape, gun, knife etc indicates that it was to be used together. Any normal person has condoms in their wallet or glove box. This is a terrifying case and im sure we will see more of him but unfortunately not with a decoy.....
And not wanting to touch anything and the kill kit he lied about... and he only got 3 years so he's already out! I wonder if they checked his dna against cold cases!
Yahh! :( pretty sure that wasn't his first time either! And he's already out as he only got 3 years! I wonder if they checked his dna against cold cases!
As someone in the military, I guarantee that he made all his female coworkers uncomfortable. He probably said some nasty shit or harassed them in some way. The amount of men I have come across similar to him is gross. What’s even more disgusting is the lack of punishment until it gets to a point of no return, and even then, they don’t get proper punishment 99% of the time. I knew a guy who harassed and hid in the closet of a women during a trip, only for nothing to happen to him because “people express themselves differently”. Same guy ended up growing marijuana at home (nothing wrong with the drug, but can’t have it in the military), had a stash of weapons, the plans to my building HVAC, a manifesto on why ISIS would win the war, and what they thought was stuff to make some type of gas. Only then was something done to him. They couldn’t prove his plan behind a doubt and he only got 1 year in jail and kicked out of the military. I’ve had plenty of creepy and gross encounters with men as well. Not to say women don’t do this because there were a couple of deranged women I’ve met too, but man… the stories I hear.
Its entirely fair to stereotype men as having these dangerous issues. This guy sounds like he could be preparing to be a terrorist and when you actually look into global statistics about people who become terrorists its overwhelmingly men. The very very few women that become terrorists almost exclusively are infertile aswell, so make of that what you will. Its important for us to figure out why these people go down this path and if its something caused by environment take steps to remove alter that. This guy feels like he was just born a creep, but its impossible for us to know, from what we've seen, if decades of bad social interactions led him down this path or if he was always going to get there. Its still inexcusable regardless, but I just want us to find ways to reduce the incidents of these awful people.
And guardian sorry for the outburst and thank you for your service and I’m sorry it happens I would salute you but it’s disrespectful for a civilian to salute a soldier
As someone who is in the military currently, I am very angry myself. This is a huge offence to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and if he is still in the military in this video, he isn't anymore
Yeah, I hope someone in law enforcement gets the initiative to look into his past and possible connection with disappearances or unsolved murders of young girls.
Condoms (obv meant for girls, and we know he likes them underage) paired with a knife, gun, and duct tape is a suspicious combo. And the way he tried to lure her out to his car without touching anything... yeah, no. Just the possibility that the girl could've been kidnapped or killed is horrifying.
All of these guys that appear on Chris Hansen’s “Catch a Predator” series are Creepy and evil, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. I would never let the guy out. He had more sinister intentions than even the unforgivable ones that most of these guys have. I think they might have caught a serial killer in the making.
Now i wonder what he would’ve done first.... Rape her, or kill her? Not to mention the camera, he was going to record his torture to this girl... People like this make me wanna leave the planet....
ur stretching😂 he only said that cuz he thinks its a young girl. if she thought she would get to drive a car, which she probably never has, it would be something that could convince her. a 13 year old probably would jump at the opportunity getting to drive without their parents saying no
@@nick0164 I vehemently disagree, the evidence in both the physical items found and the psychological manipulation he attempted leaves little doubt he had evil intentions. It’s almost garunteed he has violent sexual fantasies and a desire to prey on a child that he can’t control, just like most serial killers/ sexual sadism.
Man, as soon as we saw him trying to lure her away from her home and especially after we saw his "kill kit", it's pretty obvious his intention was to dispose of her after what he thought would be their little "date"
Damn... the way that guy tried to lure the girl out sends chills down my spine. I can't help but think of how lucky I am to have a very protective family. If I was a 13 year old and had a dangerous creep looking for me at home, I'd be safe because my mom is naturally wary of people while my dad and my brother are perfectly capable of beating up and restraining a guy.
I love how worried and protective ken is as a father. I feel like if anything happens in his own family, Mary's gonna yell for ken and this tank is gonna come running out of nowhere lol
I don't know, Mary's Australian, she'd just command a hoard of spiders to take the problem away, and you'd just find a shriveled up body laying somewhere.
This is easily the scariest man so far. The way he tried to get her into his car and him having all that stuff in his car. So gross and scary. He was so clearly trying to kidnap and rape her if not kill her so she can't report it. 3 years in jail is not enough for this man.
Yep it certainly appears that way for sure. I was thinking at the start why isn’t he going in at all? Like he was not going past that door, he had his hands down by his side all strange. Then I thought, OMG he doesn’t want any fingerprints or anything of him at all to be found there!! He’s definitely a really bad guy, he’d totally planned it out not to even enter the house.
Someone who served with him posted online(with phote proof) that this guy was a tank mechanic, that guy's tank mechanic to be precise, and said he didn't see a day of combat or anything bad at all and the closest he got was maybe seeing a couple mortars relatively nearby. Dude was extremely upset this guy used that as an excuse, especially because he lied about experiencing something traumatic, when the guys who's tank he worked on actually did experience that stuff, yet he's the one using it as an excuse to do horrible things when it didn't even happen to him.
Someone said in another comment, that they looked into this guy's background, and he was never deployed. If true, we can be thankful that he never had an opportunity to victimize someone overseas and get away with it.
im not for sure if your saying this guys just a piece of shit or if your trying to bash the military but dont let this be your perception of the military cause this is far from it. but of course there are freaks that sneak there way in just like everywhere this guys just a piece of shit cut and dry no matter what he did as a profession

As a person w PTSD I can say that it causes you to act probably the the furthest way from this... this is not what being traumatized does to you, it’s what being a sociopath makes you think & act like this
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 Oh, I have. Perhaps you should take your own advice, but you can start here: 'In part, the study results support the view that individuals with ASPD experience negative feelings more often than positive feelings (Dolan and Fullam 2005; Patrick 2007).' 'According to scientific research, good relationships are positively correlated with happiness. Sociopaths are less inclined to find long-term happiness when compared to the General Population.' 'Most sociopaths struggle to develop attachments and maintain good relationships.' 'Most sociopaths tend to be chemically dependent.' 'Most sociopaths struggle to maintain a job or a family life.' It should be noted that "Sociopath" is not a Mental Health Diagnosis.. ASPD is, and within ASPD certain traits we associate more with the Sociopathy.
@@retts75 my father was in the veitnam war, and he ended up being a child molester. Ofc I do not beleive war made him that way, it supported it, because he was sourrounded by more of them.
We seriously need t-shirts with Ken and Buff gritting their teeth & pointing their index fingers (like in the "we need you" campaign) and the caption: "Taze 'im" emblazoned on it please.
This is a prime example of why we should never assume a solider is a great person simply because their in the military. People forget we have disgusting and dangerous people in every area including our military.
Exactly there’s bad people everywhere I’ve been serving for two years atm and I’ve met some guys in here who are creeps it’s definitely not a lot of people in here but I wish the few would just get what’s coming to them cause it makes the entirety look bad
@@aaliyahsanders3639 well they seek that occupation but a lot of times they don’t get in like that one kid who shot up that school and wanted to join the army rangers but couldn’t get in
Exactly! My ex husband was in the military and abused me and my son and was using meth and God knows what else and he did a LOT of other stuff I don't want to discuss.... Then on the other side of that, my brother and current husband were military and they are amazing people who wouldn't hurt anyone!
I would argue you're even *more* likely to be a horrible person if you were in the military. At least that's been my experience and the experiences of every single person I have every asked in my life. There are also statistics which show that they beat their wives more often and other fun things... Pretty disgusting tbh, especially when you consider most of society gives military a free pass unless it's something really serious.
When the kill kit was found my whole body just froze. A chill ran through me. I was a young girl alone on the internet once, I also fell for shit like this.
The fact that this not only doesnt look like his first time kill kit (let's be honest, you overpacked your backpack for your first day of school, yet this guy packs light for his first kill? Definitely not) but he probably did heinous things overseas to either civilians or his fellow soldiers (since we know the militariterum justice system isnt exactly just and fair, probably worse than the american judicial system). I just hope that they actually research into the background of these guys and found nothing on him instead of just charging what they got at that crime. Chances are he's attempted or even succeeded in the past, especially with former military training. Ugh
man the camera spooked me the most bc wtf would u need it for??? the only thing i can think of is that he has a thing for dead ppl ya know? not saying that that's bad... but i have a feeling he was gonna do that shit he texted abt but after she was dead in a ditch.
The kill kit doesn’t look like something he took with him because he wanted some unplanned snuff. It looks like something he has used before and is changing to suit him more like. “I can leave these things but can’t forget the ducktape next time”.
I get why you would think that. First time I looked at this dude I didn’t believe the shit he was talking about. Dude was a loser that hasn’t killed anyone.
I love the excuse of ‘I was just gonna show her around’ as if she doesn’t just.. LIVE there Like, even when I was 13 I was capable of remembering the directions in the town I lived in
A guy on reddit said he served with him (he provided photos of them) and they weren't deployed in combat, they were mechanics lol. Not only is he a predator, he most likely doesn't have PTSD
In a world of darkness there’s channels like this that shine light on what’s important and to protect the children. Good on both of you, your channel is one of my favorites.
Even if he really does have PTSD, there is no way in hell it could even slightly be used as an excuse to kidnap, rape and possibly murder a minor. And that's exactly what he was trying to do, fishing for sympathy.
@@stupidcircle4413 exactly, there is no excuse to be a pedophile. Him saying that is just insulting on a lot of levels. Idk about PTSD for this dude but he is definitely very sick..
Yeah it makes him even doubly more a piece of shit. Mental illness is not often associated with harming others. To use it as an excuse again just makes me think, throw away the key. The guy admits to not being able to control his impulses. If that's what he believes PTSD is then obviously he can't be trusted in society.
I am a veteran and have PTSD and am absolutely disgusted that he tried to blame his deployment for his “lapse of judgement”. He is a disgrace to those of us who served with that very real condition. I can’t believe he tried to use that as an excuse for his action. And then to find what was in his trunk… I am so angry at this twisted person
"I planned on showing her around" Showing her around her own town?? most people don't need to be shown around a town they live in, unless she 'moved' in there within the last week. This guy was like 100% gonna kidnap and assault her (and most likely worse). Horribly disgusting, i don't even know how he thought he was gonna talk his way out of it.
Sometimes... The law is just too stupid. It's obvious to everyone what his intentions were. Who's going to protect all the naive kids from meeting creeps like this...
Unfortunately, he can't be charged with what we assume his intentions were. However, I do hope someone with initiative researches where he's lived in the past and unsolved assaults and murders. This wasn't his first time. His kit was all there, including the unregistered weapon.
If we convicted based on perceived intention, there'd be so many loopholes and wrongful convictions that it would damage our justice system irreparably. Even though it's obvious this guy was absolutely out there, you could just as easily say some random guy with some tarp and rope in his trunk for protecting his car from the elements(bird poop, snow, rain stains paint, etc.) was going to kidnap you and drag you into the woods to strangle you and he'd go to jail for it based entirely on the fact that it was a possibility.
@A Particularly Concerned Citizen I understand the basis behind it, but it doesn't always work out that well, does it. Especially where there's even video evidence of his behavior and his clear intentions to lure her into his car. It's frustrating when there's clearly no other reason and those are the times when the justice system seem like a joke.
This is a genuine nightmare. I highly doubt this was his first time, but I hope it was. Thank you guys for spreading awareness and making this stuff bearable to watch. There are a lot of creeps out there. Please stay safe & toasty friends
If you notice, he was going pretty far out of his way to avoid touching anything when he was trying to get the decoy to come out. That could be viewed as him trying to avoid leaving finger prints.
This is actually so freaking disturbing. Like this guy is in the freaking military!! These are the people that are supposed to protect us!! These are the people on whom we need to put our faiths onto!! Everytime whenever I hear people like these- military officers, policemen, doctors, therapist, teachers etc abuse their power and exploit people's vulnerability and trust on them, it feels 10x more disgusting than it already is... Absolutely sickening.
It honestly seems to me that this show catches all the guys that also look like predators. What’s more terrifying to me personally is all the pedophiles that look like the last person you expect, the “charming people”. The nice old Santa Claus Professor, the politician looking like Tom cruise, the mentor that takes in all the problem kids that no one else wants to deal with seemingly out of the kindness of their heart, and finally and most disturbing all the adults that were sexually abused and scarred as children (the people you’d think hate pedophiles, but for some reason can become them).
The victims of sexual abuse who turn out like their abusers have their reason. It is a way of coping with what has been done to them by inflicting their pain on the others, allowing them to detach from that trauma/properly understand what happened to them. While some people will try their best for that trauma to never be repeated to them/people around them, you have the other group that might eventually become their abuser due to the trauma messing with their minds. It is sad because it is not a fully conscious thing. Their abusers' behaviour might imprint on them and become their new 'normal' behaviour. They might never realize that they shouldn't treat people this way. Or if they do, sometimes they might catch themselves acting exactly like their abuser despire their best efforts not to. It could be done out of spite, bitterness, anger, desperation. There are numerous factors that cause this transformation. I'm no expert, so don't quote me on this. But that is as far as I can remember from psychology classes and what I have read about.
@@XMewMoonLightAkitaoX That's no excuse to harm another person, especially children. I don't know what you think about all those facts, and I'm not disagreeing that those are reasons why people do these things, but these actions are never excusable, it's wrong and should be dealt with properly.
@@angelapickett198 Of course it isn't excusable. I'm only saying that it has its reason and why a victim sometimes becomes their tormentor. It is important to know why it happens for it to be properly dealt with and figure out whether it is an unconscious action or a conscious one. Because the former one is going to take a lot of time, or it might never go away.
the ones that fall for this bait probably aren't the brightest of the bunch in the first place, and they def look like it. negative IQ goblin looking mfs
There’s a couple predators that are actually handsome or at least decent looking, especially the ones under 30. But unless you’re really into TCAP you don’t see much about them. This guy is ESPECIALLY unattractive. Hahaha
As a daughter to a vet whom also/actually has PTSD, his excuses just pisses me off and I know for a fact if she had seen this, she'd've disowned him from the national guard. (look i know this 'd've prolly isn't right but someone will fix it sooner or later).
I really think the only reason they didn’t tase him was the fact he was ex-service and the ptsd potential of it. They could’ve triggered something very serious to happen there, but I still wish they would’ve been able to especially after the kill kit.
@@rainbowcritter3904 he could be an extreme danger to Chris, the girl, and police if they triggered his ptsd with his ex military training. That’s prob why they didn’t.
I think the “kit” is so scary too because it’s not like it was spread through out the car. None of it was in the glove box or center console or backseat which could be played off as just random things in his car. I know the trunk is where you typically put the random stuff in your car but it just feels like it was purposely packed at one time in there.
If it was just random junk, there would be more stuff in there 😅 my bf has some funky-looking stuff in his trunk because he works in construction, but it's mixed in with other stuff. His trunk looked way too neat for it to be just 'junk' 😅

Depending on the branch of service, they are weeded out pretty quick. The way he said he changed after deployed to Iraq is a give away he never went over.
@@terrysellars5106 I’m willing to bet he was a POG who never went over, and spent too much time on incel/kiddie porn sites and eventually thought “age is just a number, I’ll take what I want”. Was probably a bit fucked up mentally in the first place, but was able to slip through evaluations.

"Bailey" always acts nervous and shy when the guy comes in the kitchen, but on this one it seemed like she was legit scared and starting to freak out. I bet she had that instinctual feeling you get when you know you are in danger. I wonder if Chris made the decision to show himself early because he could hear and see what was happening or if the actress has some sort of emergency signal and she sent it. After doing so many episodes, I'm sure the actors and the crew recognize "normal" behavior and realized that this guy was not behaving how they expected him to. This was a scary one.
Both, probably.

That’s so scary to think about
I’m positive the reason he stood at the door and wouldn’t even enter at all was so he didn’t leave any trace of himself being there. He made sure to not even touch the door, it looked strange leaning in like that, most people would have held the door or at least touched it while talking but he made sure he didn’t touch anything which is what made his position at the door seem so unnatural to me. He was planning something very sinister there’s no doubt at all, and all the things they mentioned were all together not in different places.

How do you know whether or not you can't get PTSD by working out tanks for the fighters?! Were you there or in any military campaign (a.k.a. war)? People deal with things differently. Not saying what he did was right.

Apparently two decoys? 9:48 crazy!
True, but I can only hope that there are only a few real 13-year-olds in bad situations who would think having a near 30 year old “boyfriend” is a good idea.
Pretty sure 99% of 13-yos are more interested in the cute boy their age in math class…not some balding near 30 yo who looks like this guy, and even at 13, most know that having random dudes to your house is too sketchy.
Most normal people will see tho its just him excusing it
He did actually reach out to a real girl. But fortunately she had a lot of back up since the cops were in position outside
We have to hope that it was the first time he went this far, because he clearly spent some time making a plan. He was _absolutely_ going to kidnap and probably murder this girl. If he had tried to snatch her out of the house, a neighbor might've heard her scream before he could silence her. That's why he was trying to yet her somewhere more remote and isolated, like a parking lot or the beach.

Exactly! I feel like it's just a slap in the face to other veterans that actually struggle with mental health problems.
Another fellow veteran here. I think that this should serve as a reminder to everyone that there are monsters everywhere. Just because someone tells you that they are a veteran does not mean you should let your guard down.
Unfortunately, that isn't the only veteran to pop up on TCAP. I remember my coworkers watching an episode in our shop clowning on an idiot that showed up wearing his unit cap.
And you know even if this guy was deployed he was an S1 pog and didn't do shit but sit at the mccs using up all the WiFi, stealing everyone else's war stories for his own.
I’m not a veteran but I am a proud military brat. Seeing this stuff, even as an excuse to speed, pisses me off.
I respect your service and the sacrifices you made for or home but that doesn’t mean you can do this.
Then there’s stolen valor and and dishonorable discarded who make false claims. Those are a different level of rage
Update he is natural guard and I may slap a bîtch
My boss is a veteran with PTSD. He's told me a lot about his time, and it was clearly very traumatizing. But he doesn't cope by molesting kids, he copes like a regular adult who isn't a pervert.
I was abused and traumatized by my father, who never molested me but was incredibly creepy around kids. I don’t want kids, but at the same time, I’m not hunting them down, nor do I have any interest in that. PTSD can make you do irrational things, like in my case, not want to go outside some days or be generally unmotivated, but it doesn’t destroy your ethical compass or make you interested in kids or violent toward others necessarily. I’ve never been a violent person and violence or any sort of aggression terrifies me. I’m more like the Michael Jackson song Beat It in an awkward situation. I’ve never been in a war, but I don’t think you can justify targeting innocent kids like that with going to war. If anything, you’d think you’d want to target the people responsible for your PTSD, if anyone. I didn’t even have violent intent toward my father. I just wanted him to disappear - or be better.

I agree, and thank you for your service!
I get the feeling he joined the military just so he would have an excuse to do fucked up things during and after. There have been serial killers before that have done this. Usually the military is so weirded out by them but let them join since it’s a wartime and they need a pencil pusher they can tuck away anyway.
Fitting profile pic

Apparently the guy didn't even see any action. I don't remember the details, but I know the community managed to discover that Buchanan was full of shit.
Hey guys! They did use his kill kit as evidence. If you remember what other dudes get charged with it's usually "soliciting a minor" or something along those lines. They charged him with "attempted sexual assault 2". To prove it, that kill kit was absolutely essential. They gave him the most. I hope he does more than 3 years.
This guy was the worst out of all the predators they caught, he was definitely going to kidnap somebody maybe worse and I'm glad he got caught.

Compared to the other usual clowns, this guy was genuinely scary. The kit, the camera, trying to lure her outside so his prints aren't in the house, he knew what he was doing, was this really his first time? Shit, was it his last?
They should really check his area for missing girls. Seems real serial killery with his little kill kit.
Was thinking the same thing
Yes the pd needs to get in that. Or the fbi anyone really
There’s no point if there’s been no reports I get what your saying but for they can’t send a search team if there’s been no reports I guess it’s like you have to wait 48 hours to report a missing person but the first 48 hours of a kidnapping is the most crucial
Absolutely. At his age, he's definitely done this before.
Since he was in the military, he definitely could've gotten away with it overseas
Personal speculations: He didn’t want to come in because he didn’t want to leave any evidence that he had been inside the house when the police inevitably investigated the crime he was planning to commit that night.
The reason he gave up so quickly was probably because he hadn’t actually /done/ anything yet and felt he had a chance to weasel out of the consequences if he played along.
Notice how he doesn't touch the door at all, doesn't hold it open, lean on it, etc.
i think he knew he'd get a lot less time if he went ahead and admitted to what he'd intended to do. maybe so he didn't get caught for what he'd already done. either way, i'm almost positive his mindset is "a few years to think about and perfect my crime and then be out to commit it"

"I was going to show her around Fairfield".

So that line alone is the creepiest thing (besides the kill kit) about this whole interaction. And since this whole sting took place an hour or 2 away from me in Connecticut. Thank you Chris Hansen! My gratitude is immeasurable, and please come back soon!
The wording he gives when he tries to lure her outside: "What if I take you to an empty parking lot and *tell* you to drive?" Not teach, TELL. He was definitely gonna threaten her to drive with the gun to her head.

@@rogerhank7314 Agreed he is amazing
I’d be upset seeing this too. If this wasn’t a show. “Bailey” wouldve been missing or dead somewhere. The dude Buchanan deserves to rot
This one was probably the scariest one I’ve seen… Yeah you can’t “assume” he was going to use anything more than the condoms, but the fact he was trying so hard to get her to leave with him in that same vehicle certainly doesn’t paint a comforting image at all. They kept commenting on the gun, but the knife, duct tape, and camera scared me more tbh. I feel like those items could be way more threatening than merely having a loaded gun in your vehicle, especially considering the circumstances…
Yeah I also feel like the duct tape, camera, and knife are more out of place. Those are things you'd usually keep on your person, or not in a vehicle. I keep tools and stuff in my car - rags, an actual tool kit, jump cables, etc. Not duct tape though, it's not really a traditional item your likely to need in your car. Combined with the camera, weapons, and an underage girl he tried to lure out... Very disturbing imagery
Yeah, it’s not exactly out of the ordinary for a military veteran to carry a gun. The other items are scary.
An earlier comment pointed out something really interesting. The fact that the condoms were placed with the duct tape, gun, knife etc indicates that it was to be used together. Any normal person has condoms in their wallet or glove box. This is a terrifying case and im sure we will see more of him but unfortunately not with a decoy.....
I actually don't think she would not have gotten out of this alive if it was real 😐
And not wanting to touch anything and the kill kit he lied about... and he only got 3 years so he's already out! I wonder if they checked his dna against cold cases!
This was a win for humanity. This would have been a Netflix feature if they didn't catch him.
Yeah. Dud would've been in Dateline for a whole different reason.
The way he was trying to lure her out is horrifying. I can only imagine what he would've done if it wasn't a set up :(
And to think he’s back on the streets by now 😩
Horrifying
Yahh! :( pretty sure that wasn't his first time either! And he's already out as he only got 3 years! I wonder if they checked his dna against cold cases!
As someone in the military, I guarantee that he made all his female coworkers uncomfortable. He probably said some nasty shit or harassed them in some way. The amount of men I have come across similar to him is gross. What’s even more disgusting is the lack of punishment until it gets to a point of no return, and even then, they don’t get proper punishment 99% of the time. I knew a guy who harassed and hid in the closet of a women during a trip, only for nothing to happen to him because “people express themselves differently”. Same guy ended up growing marijuana at home (nothing wrong with the drug, but can’t have it in the military), had a stash of weapons, the plans to my building HVAC, a manifesto on why ISIS would win the war, and what they thought was stuff to make some type of gas. Only then was something done to him. They couldn’t prove his plan behind a doubt and he only got 1 year in jail and kicked out of the military.
I’ve had plenty of creepy and gross encounters with men as well. Not to say women don’t do this because there were a couple of deranged women I’ve met too, but man… the stories I hear.
As a female veteran it saddens me to hear a sister go through this shit, but unfortunately it happens all to often.
Its entirely fair to stereotype men as having these dangerous issues. This guy sounds like he could be preparing to be a terrorist and when you actually look into global statistics about people who become terrorists its overwhelmingly men. The very very few women that become terrorists almost exclusively are infertile aswell, so make of that what you will.
Its important for us to figure out why these people go down this path and if its something caused by environment take steps to remove alter that.
This guy feels like he was just born a creep, but its impossible for us to know, from what we've seen, if decades of bad social interactions led him down this path or if he was always going to get there.
Its still inexcusable regardless, but I just want us to find ways to reduce the incidents of these awful people.
Thank you for your service and self control.
He's lucky I'm not in the military. He would have... disappeared.
And guardian sorry for the outburst and thank you for your service and I’m sorry it happens I would salute you but it’s disrespectful for a civilian to salute a soldier

Um, guys, that doesn't look like a first time sort of kill kit.... that's a "ugh, I really need to remember duct tape next time" sort of kill kit.
This was the start of a serial killer's spree.
Yeah, I hope someone in law enforcement gets the initiative to look into his past and possible connection with disappearances or unsolved murders of young girls.
Condoms (obv meant for girls, and we know he likes them underage) paired with a knife, gun, and duct tape is a suspicious combo.
And the way he tried to lure her out to his car without touching anything... yeah, no.
Just the possibility that the girl could've been kidnapped or killed is horrifying.
All of these guys that appear on Chris Hansen’s “Catch a Predator” series are Creepy and evil, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. I would never let the guy out. He had more sinister intentions than even the unforgivable ones that most of these guys have. I think they might have caught a serial killer in the making.
Buff looked a little more affected by this one. I can't blame him. This one was scarier than usual. 100% that dude was going to kill that girl.

And not wanting to touch anything... but yess! And he only got 3 years so he's already out!
Damn... the way that guy tried to lure the girl out sends chills down my spine. I can't help but think of how lucky I am to have a very protective family. If I was a 13 year old and had a dangerous creep looking for me at home, I'd be safe because my mom is naturally wary of people while my dad and my brother are perfectly capable of beating up and restraining a guy.
My grandpa taught hand to hand combat during the Korean War, and my dad learned from him. I pity the man who tries to mess with me.
I love how worried and protective ken is as a father. I feel like if anything happens in his own family, Mary's gonna yell for ken and this tank is gonna come running out of nowhere lol
Ken seems like a really nice and chill guy unless you hurt somebody he loves and then he'd tear you apart.

Yeah, it is called being American.
I don't know, Mary's Australian, she'd just command a hoard of spiders to take the problem away, and you'd just find a shriveled up body laying somewhere.
This is easily the scariest man so far. The way he tried to get her into his car and him having all that stuff in his car. So gross and scary. He was so clearly trying to kidnap and rape her if not kill her so she can't report it. 3 years in jail is not enough for this man.
Yep it certainly appears that way for sure. I was thinking at the start why isn’t he going in at all? Like he was not going past that door, he had his hands down by his side all strange. Then I thought, OMG he doesn’t want any fingerprints or anything of him at all to be found there!! He’s definitely a really bad guy, he’d totally planned it out not to even enter the house.
Someone who served with him posted online(with phote proof) that this guy was a tank mechanic, that guy's tank mechanic to be precise, and said he didn't see a day of combat or anything bad at all and the closest he got was maybe seeing a couple mortars relatively nearby. Dude was extremely upset this guy used that as an excuse, especially because he lied about experiencing something traumatic, when the guys who's tank he worked on actually did experience that stuff, yet he's the one using it as an excuse to do horrible things when it didn't even happen to him.
You can get ptsd from anything. Regardless if he had it, he was using it as an excuse. Which is disgusting.

Someone said in another comment, that they looked into this guy's background, and he was never deployed. If true, we can be thankful that he never had an opportunity to victimize someone overseas and get away with it.
im not for sure if your saying this guys just a piece of shit or if your trying to bash the military but dont let this be your perception of the military cause this is far from it. but of course there are freaks that sneak there way in just like everywhere this guys just a piece of shit cut and dry no matter what he did as a profession
@@xRxSxFx2xPxGx no one is military bashing. They're just taking about how disgusting bastards like can take advantage of the deployments to hurt people.
It's horrible to think about what this guy probably got away with if he served overseas.
Don’t want to even think about it.
Was literally about the comment that. I don’t even want to think about it
as a veteranof afghanistan soilders are a bit to busy dodging motar attacks and fighting to be doing any rapey things and if he would have his fellow soilders would have turned him in we dont play that pedo shit
The military court is much harsher than the u.s. justice system.
@@notoknick9662 and yet rape is so common in the military and you hear about it happening all the time. Not to civilians or children just your fellow soldier you know…
As a person w PTSD I can say that it causes you to act probably the the furthest way from this... this is not what being traumatized does to you, it’s what being a sociopath makes you think & act like this
No, most sociopaths live totally healthy and happy lives.
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 This isn't remotely true. Even among so-called 'Successful Sociopaths'..
@@Vynjira-chan Look it up my dude.
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 Oh, I have. Perhaps you should take your own advice, but you can start here:
'In part, the study results support the view that individuals with ASPD experience negative feelings more often than positive feelings (Dolan and Fullam 2005; Patrick 2007).'
'According to scientific research, good relationships are positively correlated with happiness. Sociopaths are less inclined to find long-term happiness when compared to the General Population.'
'Most sociopaths struggle to develop attachments and maintain good relationships.'
'Most sociopaths tend to be chemically dependent.'
'Most sociopaths struggle to maintain a job or a family life.'
It should be noted that "Sociopath" is not a Mental Health Diagnosis.. ASPD is, and within ASPD certain traits we associate more with the Sociopathy.

Put me down for large!
I need that too be a shirt!
7:20 dude went with the Logan Paul apology
This is a prime example of why we should never assume a solider is a great person simply because their in the military. People forget we have disgusting and dangerous people in every area including our military.
Exactly there’s bad people everywhere I’ve been serving for two years atm and I’ve met some guys in here who are creeps it’s definitely not a lot of people in here but I wish the few would just get what’s coming to them cause it makes the entirety look bad
The military is actually a very often occupation of killers believe it or not
@@aaliyahsanders3639 well they seek that occupation but a lot of times they don’t get in like that one kid who shot up that school and wanted to join the army rangers but couldn’t get in
Exactly! My ex husband was in the military and abused me and my son and was using meth and God knows what else and he did a LOT of other stuff I don't want to discuss....
Then on the other side of that, my brother and current husband were military and they are amazing people who wouldn't hurt anyone!
I would argue you're even *more* likely to be a horrible person if you were in the military.
At least that's been my experience and the experiences of every single person I have every asked in my life.
There are also statistics which show that they beat their wives more often and other fun things...
Pretty disgusting tbh, especially when you consider most of society gives military a free pass unless it's something really serious.
When the kill kit was found my whole body just froze. A chill ran through me. I was a young girl alone on the internet once, I also fell for shit like this.
That was a classic "kill kit" and that is extremely frightening. I hope he's in GP, and his fellow inmates know why he's there...
The fact that this not only doesnt look like his first time kill kit (let's be honest, you overpacked your backpack for your first day of school, yet this guy packs light for his first kill? Definitely not) but he probably did heinous things overseas to either civilians or his fellow soldiers (since we know the militariterum justice system isnt exactly just and fair, probably worse than the american judicial system). I just hope that they actually research into the background of these guys and found nothing on him instead of just charging what they got at that crime. Chances are he's attempted or even succeeded in the past, especially with former military training. Ugh
man the camera spooked me the most bc wtf would u need it for??? the only thing i can think of is that he has a thing for dead ppl ya know? not saying that that's bad... but i have a feeling he was gonna do that shit he texted abt but after she was dead in a ditch.
@@bigolbeardog2874 I really hope I didn't understand correctly....did you say having a thing for dead ppl is not a bad thing?!
I dont think he was deployed thankfully
The kill kit doesn’t look like something he took with him because he wanted some unplanned snuff.
It looks like something he has used before and is changing to suit him more like. “I can leave these things but can’t forget the ducktape next time”.
I get why you would think that. First time I looked at this dude I didn’t believe the shit he was talking about. Dude was a loser that hasn’t killed anyone.
I love the excuse of ‘I was just gonna show her around’ as if she doesn’t just.. LIVE there
Like, even when I was 13 I was capable of remembering the directions in the town I lived in
Yeah, sightseeing in the dark and rain is PERFECT.
Show you around your own town 🌝
@@wtichery tied up in his trunk
RIGHT! like, you think she lives near a beach and she's never seen it before?
Parents make sure you remember your town well so you know how to come back home
The fact he tryed to get her out the house is even more creepy
This guy was really about to kill this girl if she got into that car. 10 years isn’t enough for child predators.
buff pro saying “CAN WE TAZE HIM” repeatedly is a *mood*
A guy on reddit said he served with him (he provided photos of them) and they weren't deployed in combat, they were mechanics lol. Not only is he a predator, he most likely doesn't have PTSD
You can literally have ptsd without being deployed. It's not just a military thing.
@@morganc.m1830 He related his PTS to his service, in which he was just in the motorpool. I know that PTS is not just a military disorder.
Never let anyone take you to a second location. That man had murder on the mind
Dane looks seriously distressed about this one. Is he okay? Does he need a hug? It's okay, buddy, he's in jail now x

In a world of darkness there’s channels like this that shine light on what’s important and to protect the children. Good on both of you, your channel is one of my favorites.
I would say this guy is stigmatising of people with PTSD but let's be real he's making fun of himself more than anybody
Even if he really does have PTSD, there is no way in hell it could even slightly be used as an excuse to kidnap, rape and possibly murder a minor. And that's exactly what he was trying to do, fishing for sympathy.
@@stupidcircle4413 exactly, there is no excuse to be a pedophile. Him saying that is just insulting on a lot of levels. Idk about PTSD for this dude but he is definitely very sick..
Yeah it makes him even doubly more a piece of shit. Mental illness is not often associated with harming others. To use it as an excuse again just makes me think, throw away the key. The guy admits to not being able to control his impulses. If that's what he believes PTSD is then obviously he can't be trusted in society.
I am a veteran and have PTSD and am absolutely disgusted that he tried to blame his deployment for his “lapse of judgement”. He is a disgrace to those of us who served with that very real condition. I can’t believe he tried to use that as an excuse for his action. And then to find what was in his trunk… I am so angry at this twisted person
@@stupidcircle4413 unless that's what he was doing while he was employed...
"I planned on showing her around"
Showing her around her own town?? most people don't need to be shown around a town they live in, unless she 'moved' in there within the last week.
This guy was like 100% gonna kidnap and assault her (and most likely worse). Horribly disgusting, i don't even know how he thought he was gonna talk his way out of it.
Sightseeing in the dark And rain is perfect ... People like this need to be put under the jail.
Showing her around to a shallow grave in the ground in the woods, probably.
& there’s not a lot to do and see in Fairfield county, just some restaurants and big office buildings and the train to the city
If this wasn't a sting operation this would've been someone's child dead in the news
Sometimes... The law is just too stupid. It's obvious to everyone what his intentions were. Who's going to protect all the naive kids from meeting creeps like this...
People like Chris Hanson. There are many people like him who lure these bastards and jail them.
@@nerdycurls6253 That's if the children are lucky.
Unfortunately, he can't be charged with what we assume his intentions were. However, I do hope someone with initiative researches where he's lived in the past and unsolved assaults and murders. This wasn't his first time. His kit was all there, including the unregistered weapon.
If we convicted based on perceived intention, there'd be so many loopholes and wrongful convictions that it would damage our justice system irreparably. Even though it's obvious this guy was absolutely out there, you could just as easily say some random guy with some tarp and rope in his trunk for protecting his car from the elements(bird poop, snow, rain stains paint, etc.) was going to kidnap you and drag you into the woods to strangle you and he'd go to jail for it based entirely on the fact that it was a possibility.
@A Particularly Concerned Citizen I understand the basis behind it, but it doesn't always work out that well, does it. Especially where there's even video evidence of his behavior and his clear intentions to lure her into his car. It's frustrating when there's clearly no other reason and those are the times when the justice system seem like a joke.
This is a genuine nightmare. I highly doubt this was his first time, but I hope it was. Thank you guys for spreading awareness and making this stuff bearable to watch. There are a lot of creeps out there. Please stay safe & toasty friends
He probably tried to solicit well before this and this was his only time getting the courage to show up
@@deltasaves when he was overseas he probably acted on his thoughts and feelings just saying.

“What if I take you to an empty-“

Well.... his cell WAS empty til he stepped in.
😎
My clip would be empty after I filled him with lead
If you notice, he was going pretty far out of his way to avoid touching anything when he was trying to get the decoy to come out. That could be viewed as him trying to avoid leaving finger prints.
This is actually so freaking disturbing. Like this guy is in the freaking military!! These are the people that are supposed to protect us!! These are the people on whom we need to put our faiths onto!! Everytime whenever I hear people like these- military officers, policemen, doctors, therapist, teachers etc abuse their power and exploit people's vulnerability and trust on them, it feels 10x more disgusting than it already is...
Absolutely sickening.
“I had a horrible laps in judgment” did this man just try to pull a Logan Paul???
No Logan Paul pulled a him.... even worse
Watching ken now is just a nostalgia blast. Been so long and he is still funny
It honestly seems to me that this show catches all the guys that also look like predators. What’s more terrifying to me personally is all the pedophiles that look like the last person you expect, the “charming people”. The nice old Santa Claus Professor, the politician looking like Tom cruise, the mentor that takes in all the problem kids that no one else wants to deal with seemingly out of the kindness of their heart, and finally and most disturbing all the adults that were sexually abused and scarred as children (the people you’d think hate pedophiles, but for some reason can become them).
The victims of sexual abuse who turn out like their abusers have their reason. It is a way of coping with what has been done to them by inflicting their pain on the others, allowing them to detach from that trauma/properly understand what happened to them. While some people will try their best for that trauma to never be repeated to them/people around them, you have the other group that might eventually become their abuser due to the trauma messing with their minds. It is sad because it is not a fully conscious thing. Their abusers' behaviour might imprint on them and become their new 'normal' behaviour. They might never realize that they shouldn't treat people this way. Or if they do, sometimes they might catch themselves acting exactly like their abuser despire their best efforts not to. It could be done out of spite, bitterness, anger, desperation. There are numerous factors that cause this transformation. I'm no expert, so don't quote me on this. But that is as far as I can remember from psychology classes and what I have read about.
@@XMewMoonLightAkitaoX That's no excuse to harm another person, especially children. I don't know what you think about all those facts, and I'm not disagreeing that those are reasons why people do these things, but these actions are never excusable, it's wrong and should be dealt with properly.
@@angelapickett198 Of course it isn't excusable. I'm only saying that it has its reason and why a victim sometimes becomes their tormentor. It is important to know why it happens for it to be properly dealt with and figure out whether it is an unconscious action or a conscious one. Because the former one is going to take a lot of time, or it might never go away.
the ones that fall for this bait probably aren't the brightest of the bunch in the first place, and they def look like it. negative IQ goblin looking mfs
There’s a couple predators that are actually handsome or at least decent looking, especially the ones under 30. But unless you’re really into TCAP you don’t see much about them. This guy is ESPECIALLY unattractive. Hahaha
Chris Hansen: why don’t you have a seat
Buchanan: 👁👄👁
Y-y- yes sir
As a daughter to a vet whom also/actually has PTSD, his excuses just pisses me off and I know for a fact if she had seen this, she'd've disowned him from the national guard. (look i know this 'd've
prolly isn't right but someone will fix it sooner or later).
Same that excuse is ridiculous and wrong!!
I often wondered if the neighbors watched the sting operation from their homes. I’d be out on my front lawn with beer yelling TAZE HIM!!!
Definitely I'd have the curtain cracking with gin and tonics lined up on the window.
"I have PTSD, better go sleep with an underage girl to forget about it."
-This creep.
Isn't keeping yourself busy by doing crime the best way to deal with trauma?
Yoga and finding yourself sounds better then being a creep ngl lol
I think the PTSD is complete bs. Most people with PTSD avoid violent situations in order not to trigger themselves.
8:52 that "honestly" is called a qualifier and is usually an indicator of deception.
... That was a kidnapping and serial killer starter kit. Wow. The guy needs to be behind bars and away from civilization.
I really think the only reason they didn’t tase him was the fact he was ex-service and the ptsd potential of it. They could’ve triggered something very serious to happen there, but I still wish they would’ve been able to especially after the kill kit.
Just Tase him!!
Who gives a shit if this dude has ptsd, they should have tased him anyway, don't give a shit if his fucked up brain gets fried.
Or it's because he didnt try to run.
@@rainbowcritter3904 What the commenter means is that if they triggered his PTSD, an innocent person could’ve been hurt or even killed by this man.
@@rainbowcritter3904 he could be an extreme danger to Chris, the girl, and police if they triggered his ptsd with his ex military training. That’s prob why they didn’t.

I think the “kit” is so scary too because it’s not like it was spread through out the car. None of it was in the glove box or center console or backseat which could be played off as just random things in his car. I know the trunk is where you typically put the random stuff in your car but it just feels like it was purposely packed at one time in there.
If it was just random junk, there would be more stuff in there 😅 my bf has some funky-looking stuff in his trunk because he works in construction, but it's mixed in with other stuff. His trunk looked way too neat for it to be just 'junk' 😅
I have never seen someone put condoms in the trunk of a car, it's always center console, glovebox, or under the seat. The majority of people are too ashamed to have it in the open
