The Man Who Sank His Car During a Sting

“I’m not a pedophile.” A sting operation in Florida. A man with nothing left to lose. Given three to six months to live with the terminal diagnosis. Most people spend that time saying goodbye, making amends, telling the people they love what they mean to them. 58-year-old Darrel Rockwell spent one of those precious days online, searching for sex with a 13- or 14-year-old girl. In this episode, Chris walks through how Rockwell's online conversations led him directly into the sting operation in Marion County, Florida — and how the encounter ended with Rockwell trying to flee the scene, sinking his own car in the process. It’s a hard look at what people do with the time they have left — and why vigilance never gets to take a day off.
