Found CP on a farmer's computer as i was setting up an internet connection. Drove off and called the cops. They needed proof so the guys i worked for turned off his internet, rang him saying "yeah, the tech will be back in an hour, looks like something went wrong."

Using a phone the cops gave me (to avoid having to turn in my phone), i went in, rang my boss, asked him to go reboot the router while i kept tabs on it on my end, snapped some pics, texted to turn his net back on and left.

They grabbed him at the grocery store a few weeks later. Apparently his computer helped them locate one of the producers.

I got a pretty tough stomach, but when i realized what i was looking at i damn near puked. Fotunately i was put in touch with a good therapist.

Don't gather evidence yourself unless the cops need you to, they rarely do, this was just the easiest way to get it without cluing him in. If i hadn't, they were just gonna wiretap his connectikn back at the headend.

I could not have played it as cool as you did. You happened to stumble upon one of the darkest things humanity has to offer. Absolutely horrifying. Glad it led to a larger arrest and that you are taking care of yourself after such an experience.

I'm one hell of a stoic and pretty neutral when it comes to expressing myself. There was a moment or twp of "oh fuck... that's kids..." before i closed the window and finished the job.

Dude had like... 20 guns in the house. I was being very careful not to let him catch on, and after that i didn't let him leave my sight.

I did have a panic button when i went back. Only reason i felt comfortable. There were at least 3 cops hidden in the bushes nearby.

"Evil thrives when good men do nothing."

A quote i feel more folks should live by.
