Hunting Monsters Online

What this episode covers

Every day, child predators exploit the anonymity of the internet. Every day, investigators work to stop them. In Episode 333 of The War Locker Show, Chuck sits down with Zach Neefe, a Department of Homeland Security Special Agent, Task Force Investigator, and instructor with the National Criminal Justice Training Center (NCJTC).Zach shares what it's really like to investigate online child exploitation, from assuming undercover identities to communicate with predators to conducting peer-to-peer investigations involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). He explains the patience, technology, and investigative techniques required to identify offenders, build cases, and protect children in an increasingly digital world. This isn't Hollywood. It's the reality of investigators who voluntarily spend their careers working in one of law enforcement's darkest assignments so that others don't have to.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-war-locker-show--6767179/support.Join us for War Locker LIVE — formerly Locker Room Live!
