Podcasts about exploited children

Sarah and Jacob Hoggle disappeared in early September 2014 from Montgomery County, Maryland. They were last seen in the care of their mother, Catherine Hoggle, who gave conflicting accounts of their whereabouts before ultimately refusing to disclose where they were. She was later arrested. Catherine, who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial and has remained in a psychiatric facility ever since. The children's fate remains unknown to this day. Their father, Troy Turner, continues to seek justice and answers. Their case remains one of Maryland's most heartbreaking and high-profile missing children cases. If you have any information about Sarah and Jacob Hoggle, please contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5688 or Montgomery County Police at 301-279-8000. Tips can also be submitted online through the Montgomery County Police Department's Crime Solvers website.

Technology is a double-edged sword. It can empower us, connect us, and solve problems, but it can also be used to exploit, manipulate, and harm. When it comes to protecting children online, that line gets especially thin. Digital forensics, AI-powered image classification, and global law enforcement collaboration are now essential tools for keeping families safe in a world that moves faster than most of us can keep up. Debbie Garner knows this world intimately. She's a retired Special Agent in charge with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and former commander of the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. For years she led efforts to track down online predators and bring justice to survivors. These days she's working in the private sector, serving on the boards of Raven and Revere Technologies, pushing for smarter tech solutions and stronger training to support those still on the front lines. In this episode we talk about the growing problem of online child exploitation, the reality of underfunded cybercrime units and the ways technology is being used to fight back. Whether you're a parent, an educator or just someone who cares about kids online, you need to hear this. Show Notes: [00:58] Debbie shares her law enforcement background over 30 years. She even worked undercover buying crack! [02:19] She spent the last 8 years of her career as the Supervisor Special Agent in charge of GBI's Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit. [02:45] Now that she's retired from law enforcement, she works in the private sector with technology companies. [05:36] It's become her passion, even in retirement, to help those who are victims of exploitation. [07:09] Most children are victimized by someone they know. There's also plenty of predators online. [08:55] There are multiple organizations that work on child exploitation investigations. [10:53] People in law enforcement do tend to prioritize these types of crimes. [12:12] We talk about how the investigations begin. [13:53] Cases have increased from 2400 tips a year to over 30,000. [15:17] There's never enough technology to keep up with the increase. [16:41] RAVEN is a lobbying group to request additional funding from Congress. [18:33] With over 30,000 tips last year Georgia made over 450 arrests. [22:13] There's now technology that will help find CSAM on phones. There are also some amazing investigations on the dark web. [25:15] OSINT is helping investigate and it's a collaborative community.  [27:55] Channels to report exploitation. Start with the platform, then National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and law enforcement. [31:34] Don't put images on the internet. Websites like Take It Down can help with images of underage people and Take It Down can help adults.  [33:43] Always mention if the person is underage when you make a report. [34:10] Talk to your kids and start early with age appropriate conversations about CSAM. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Steve Carter, born Marx Panama Moriarty Barnes on December 21, 1976, was reported missing at six months old in Hawaii. His mother, Charlotte Moriarty, took him from their home in Hau'ula, Hawaii, and left him in state custody under a false name after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She disappeared shortly afterward, and Carter was placed in an orphanage. At age four, he was adopted by Steve and Pat Carter and raised in New Jersey. In 2011, Carter, then 35 and living in Philadelphia, discovered his true identity while browsing the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website. He recognized an age-progression image of himself as a young adult. A DNA test confirmed that he was indeed Marx Panama Barnes.

Amber Hagerman is a 9-year-old little girl whose legacy has helped change the lives of thousands of people in the last three decades. Unfortunately, Amber Hagerman's story has a tragic ending, but out of the tragedy a new system was born that would ultimately help save the lives of thousands of children all over the world. Every January 13 is AMBER Alert Awareness Day where the nation remembers the little girl who was abducted and murdered in in January of 1996. Her story inspired the creation of the nation-wide system, known as the Amber Alert, that allows law enforcement to quickly alert the public to child abductions.   Though Amber's case remains unsolved and her killer has never seen justice, we can hold onto the hope that through scientific advancements in DNA research we may one day find the person responsible for taking her life.    Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to the Dark Oak 01:10 Amber Hagerman 45:20 The Brand of Hope - JED Foundation     Sources:  Frequently asked Questions | AMBER Alert.

The murder of six-year-old Adam Walsh in 1981 didn't just devastate a family—it fundamentally transformed how America protects its children and hunts its criminals. What began as a routine shopping trip to a Florida Sears department store ended in unimaginable tragedy when Adam disappeared while playing at a video game display, only to be found murdered weeks later.This horrific event catalyzed a revolution in American justice. Before Adam's case, there was no national database for missing children, no standardized protocols for immediate action, and no systematic way to mobilize the public in searches. His father John Walsh, previously a successful hotel developer, channeled his grief into creating these essential systems—founding the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, pioneering missing children images on milk cartons, and establishing "Code Adam" protocols now used in thousands of retail stores nationwide.But Walsh's most visible legacy came through television. By creating and hosting "America's Most Wanted," he transformed crime-fighting from a passive spectator sport into an interactive nationwide manhunt where everyday citizens became crucial partners in bringing fugitives to justice. The show's success was staggering: over 1,600 fugitives captured, including serial killers, child predators, and terrorists. More importantly, it helped recover over 60 abducted children alive—saving countless families from experiencing the same devastation the Walshes endured.The impact extends far beyond television. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 created comprehensive national standards for sex offender registration, while the Walsh family's advocacy directly influenced how law enforcement, businesses, and communities respond when children go missing. Through unimaginable pain, they forged systems that now protect millions.Listen as we explore this pivotal moment in American justice and how one family's tragedy became the catalyst for a safer nation. Their story reminds us that sometimes the most powerful social change emerges from our darkest moments.Send us a message!Support the showDeath in Entertainment is hosted by Kyle Ploof, Alejandro Dowling and Ben Kissel.New episodes every week!https://linktr.ee/deathinentertainment

Sextortion is a steadily rising form of online blackmail, primarily targeting teenaged boys. The warning signs are easy to spot if you are aware of what they look like; we are aiming to increase awareness and create the opportunity for more discussions about this dangerous scam. Please be advised, this episode discusses suicide and several cases of children who completed suicide resulting from sextortion.  For more information, visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's webpage on Sextortion at: https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/sextortion

The rage and hysteria are escalating. They're openly calling for Trump's assassination.They're marching, they're protesting, they're screaming into the void for what, they don't know. Something has been taken from them, something they desperately want back. It's been ten long years of fighting, but nothing has worked. There is no way out for them. They're trapped.If you talk to one of them, they will tell you they believe things that aren't true. Trump is taking away Social Security and Medicaid. They've eliminated the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They've eliminated the Department of Education. They're “disappearing” people from the streets and sending them to concentration camps.The truth doesn't seem to matter and hasn't for a long time now. Hyperbole is all because they have nothing left to sell, no vision for America's future. Who would they be if they weren't the people hunting Donald Trump? They do not know. They've destroyed themselves trying to destroy him.The headlines fed to them supercharge their rage. These are mostly educated white women in real life, but in their fantastical imaginings of their cosplay resistance, they are warrior protectors of every oppressed group. It's all coming true. Doomsday is here.They don't like the word “hysteria” because it hearkens back to the dark ages when women's mental health issues were mislabeled that way. It's the word. It's always the word. They felt like no one could hear them scream. Out of that eternal frustration came the feminist movement, a movement now dead in its tracks.It's the word “hysteria,” like the word “woke,” like the word “illegal,” like the word woman like the word “homeless,” like the word “fat.” Change the word, change reality.These white women can't be feminists anymore because that makes them “white feminists” or “Karens.” They hate those words too. They must always defer, apologize, step back, de-center themselves, and elevate women of color who matter more. This is a public episode.

In this episode, we share the story of Quana Big Spring, a 17-year-old from Kansas City, who remains missing. She was last seen on October 30, 2023, when she went out for a walk around 7 p.m. and never returned home. Quana, who is 5'4” and 125 pounds, has gone missing twice before—each time facing dangers that highlight the systemic failures in protecting Indigenous youth.Her case ties into the national crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), where nearly 3,000 Native American children were reported missing to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children between 2012 and 2021. Alarmingly, 90% were labeled as “endangered runaways.” This classification often leads to a lack of urgency in their cases, leaving families to search for answers on their own.Sources:https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/investigations/quanas-story-national-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-peoples-crisis-unfolding-in-kansas-cityhttps://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/investigations/family-belton-police-need-help-finding-missing-teenager-quana-big-springSupport the show

Callahan Walsh is an advocate for the cause of Missing and Exploited Children and is the leading voice in the fight to protect children and support families. He’s also the Executive Director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In 1981, Callahan’s brother Adam was kidnapped in South Florida and his remains were found two weeks after his abduction. “It's a sad story, but Adam's disappearance changed the way we look for missing kids in America. I've come to realize over time that, unfortunately, it oftentimes does take a tragedy to bring about meaningful change.” Callahan’s parents realized there was no support system or organization that aided help in distributing missing children’s posters or even searches other than local law enforcement. “They didn't know how. You know, they didn't have the training and the protocol around missing children's cases like we do now. A lot has changed since 1981.” Adam’s case captured nationwide attention, and his parents realized something needed to be done so this won’t happen to other families. They created the Adam Walsh Resource Center in Florida shortly after Adam’s death. “It started off with just a card table and a landline telephone, which has grown to become the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an organization that's helped recover over 460 ,000 missing kids since its inception.” Listen to the podcast to hear how the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children works to prevent child exploitation, how families can protect their kids online, and what to do if the child goes missing.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kathryn Turman served as the Assistant Director over the FBI Victim Services Division from 2002 – 2020. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller brought her to the FBI several months after the September 11th attacks with the mission to establish a robust, professional victim services program. In 2005, Ms. Turman established a terrorism and mass casualty Victim Services Response Team that has become an international model. Prior to joining the FBI, Ms. Turman served in the Department of Justice as Director of the Missing and Exploited Children's Program, Chief of the Victim Witness Assistance Unit in the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, and Principal Deputy Director and Director of the Office for Victims of Crime.

She retired from federal service in June 2020.

A 15-year-old girl had an argument with her father about her grades. It's a scene parents all over the world are likely familiar with, and one that is usually forgotten in a day or two. But when Katya Lyne had this argument with her father, Pat, on March 21, 1997, it ended in tragedy. Within days, Katya was missing, and her father was dead. The Lyne family's world was completely turned upside down. Though police believed Katya was a runaway, they couldn't be sure that she hadn't met with foul play. Nearly 30 years later, Katya's sister, Tracy, believes her sister is still out there and still wants her to come home. Anyone with information regarding Katya Lyne's disappearance can call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's 24-hour hotline at 800-843-5678, or the Federal Way Police Department at 253-835-6700.Buy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/and-then-they-were-gone--5360779/support.

In today's episode, we delve into three cases from the state of Florida. The first case involves a mother who prioritized her own desires over the needs of her toddler. The second case reveals a man who used artificial intelligence for unspeakable purposes. The final case is about a man who just can't seem to stay out of jail. Case 1: Jessica Renteria - Child NeglectOn June 27, 2024, police in Dorrell, Miami-Dade County, responded to a call from concerned neighbors who found a three-year-old boy wandering alone at the Apex at Park Central complex. Body camera footage captured officers finding the child unsupervised for approximately six hours. Case 2: Philip Michael McCorkle - AI-Generated Child PornographyIn late June 2024, Indian River County authorities arrested 38-year-old Philip Michael McCorkle for allegedly using artificial intelligence to generate child pornography. The rise of AI-generated child pornography is a growing concern at both state and national levels. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, there were 4,700 reports of AI-generated child pornography in 2023 alone.Case 3: Mark Brents - Barcode Manipulation SchemeIn August 2024, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into a barcode manipulation scheme at Lowe's stores. The accused, 57-year-old Mark Brents, was allegedly switching barcodes from cheaper products onto more expensive items, defrauding Lowe's of over $4,500 worth of merchandise. During the investigation, it was found that this wasn't the first time Mark was being arrested. How man times you ask? You'll never guess. What are your thoughts on these cases?

David Gonzalez, a 9-year-old boy from San Bernardino, California, disappeared on July 25, 2004, after going to retrieve a drink from his family's car parked near his grandmother's house. Despite extensive search efforts by law enforcement, volunteers, and the community, no trace of David was ever found, and his case remains unsolved. Several theories have been proposed, including the possibility of stranger abduction, family involvement, or an accidental disappearance, but no concrete evidence has emerged to support any particular theory. The lack of witnesses and physical evidence has made it challenging for investigators to determine what happened to David, leaving his family and the community with more questions than answers.In the years since his disappearance, David's case has remained a cold case, with occasional tips leading to renewed search efforts, such as the 2022 search in the San Bernardino National Forest. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continues to keep David's case in the public eye by updating age-progressed images and appealing for information. Despite the passage of time and the limited leads, law enforcement remains committed to solving the case, emphasizing the need for any new information that could provide a breakthrough. As of now, the disappearance of David Gonzalez is a chilling reminder of the unresolved mysteries that still haunt many communities and families.The disappearance of Charles McCullar in 1975 is one of the most baffling cases in Crater Lake National Park's history. McCullar, a 19-year-old photography enthusiast, went missing during a solo hiking trip in the park's harsh winter conditions. Despite extensive search efforts, his remains were not discovered until almost two years later in a remote part of the park. The remains were found in a bizarre state, with his pants positioned as if he had vanished from within them and only a few bones scattered around. The unusual circumstances and limited evidence have led to numerous theories, including accidental death due to hypothermia, a wild animal attack, foul play, and even supernatural explanations. However, no theory has conclusively explained his disappearance, leaving the case shrouded in mystery.Today, Charles McCullar's case remains unsolved, with no new evidence emerging in recent years. The harsh environment, potential scavenging by wildlife, and remote location of his remains have complicated the investigation, and the case has since gone cold. While the National Park Service maintains records, the mystery of what happened to McCullar endures. His disappearance continues to captivate those interested in unsolved mysteries and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by nature, as well as the potential for the unknown in the vast wilderness of America's national parks.(commercial at 10:07)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Few know that better than Ken Valentine, of course; a retired Secret Service agent, Ken served under three Presidents - Clinton, Bush, and Barack Obama - as each wrestled with their own challenges of office, in their own time and in their own ways. For Ken, keeping up with the President wasn't just a challenge - it was a career, full of travel, intel, and unique situations that demanded not just his utmost attention, but his life and the lives of his fellow agents if necessary. But 24 years at the Agency doesn't capture all of Ken's work - since his tenure, he's joined the Board of The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, penned a memoir about his work called 'Cheating Death: Three-Time Presidential Secret Service Agent Lives To Tell You How,' and even spent time in the fields of science and technology, joining the Board of Advisors at a new breakthrough in the field of quantum physics called 'Base Molecular Resonance Technology.' But how does somebody get into the Secret Service? What qualifications does one need to attain the position of Presidential Protection Detail for not just one, but three different sitting Presidents? And most importantly - how exactly does somebody go about cheating death? Let's ask Ken.  ---------- Support Ken Valentine -  Get Your Copy of 'Cheating Death: Three-Time Presidential Secret Service Agent Lives To Tell You How' at https://www.kennethvalentine.com/order Support the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: https://www.missingkids.org/home Support the WellHouse Home: https://www.the-wellhouse.org Website: https://www.kennethvalentine.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorkennethvalentine ---------- Sponsors:  Beam Take advantage of Beam's biggest sale of the year and get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://www.shopbeam.com/MIKEDROP and use promo code MIKEDROP at checkout! ---------- True Classic Tees Upgrade your wardrobe and get up to 25% OFF @trueclassic at https://www.trueclassic.com/MIKEDROP! #trueclassicpod #sponsored ---------- Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.pet ALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND: SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.pet Learn more about your ad choices.

For 18 days, no one in Relisha's life saw her, but no one reported her missing. It wasn't until a social worker from her school visited the shelter in person that he realized the little girl whom he had been told was sick, wasn't sick at all. She was just gone. Relisha's story has had a deep and lasting impact on the DC region. July 11 is Relisha Rudd Remembrance Day.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC, wasn't created to serve as the nation's central system for detecting child exploitation online, but for the past 25 years, that's what it's done. A WSJ analysis and a Stanford report found that the nonprofit is contending with outdated technology and legal constraints as the number of reports soars. WSJ technology reporter Jeff Horwitz tells host Alex Ossola why change might be on the way. Plus, WSJ Heard on the Street columnist Dan Gallagher talks about what analysts are looking for in Meta's first-quarter earnings tomorrow. Listening on Google Podcasts?

As the search for Kimberly continued, more folks who craved the spotlight emerged. There was Dallas psychic extraordinaire John Catchings, whose “visions” resulted in nothing more than heartache and wasted time and resources. There were well-meaning folks who came to help, of course, like the Heidi Search Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Unfortunately their altruistic efforts also resorted in nothing new being found. One man who came to help – a man who was so inspired by Kimberly's disappearance that he began researching the nationwide problem of missing children, he said, and began an organization of his own – put the family, Kimberly's Mother Janice said, through hell. Part 3 of 3.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kimberly Rachelle Norwood, please call the Harrison County Sheriff's Office at 903-935-4888.If you have any information about the disappearance of Michelle Lee Richardson, please contact the Anderson County Sheriff's Department at 903-729-6068.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
