from The FOX True Crime Podcast w/ Emily Compagno · host Fox Audio Network

WARNING: This episode features sensitive topics involving children. Listener discretion is advised. In 1993, 10-year-old George Burdynski Jr. went missing from his Maryland home. While his case remains unsolved, the investigation into his disappearance led the FBI to uncover the dark and disturbing ways in which child predators interact with one another and with children online. This discovery led to the bureau's Innocent Images National Initiative. Retired FBI Agent Stacey Perkins discusses her involvement with the creation of this initiative, as well as her work taking down a kingpin behind an international child pornography website.
