2,157 views
For three years, Chris Hansen and Dateline NBC caught men on camera and drew in millions of viewers. Then in December 2007, To Catch a Predator aired its last new episode, and nobody announced it. The internet says it was a cover-up to protect powerful men. The paper trail tells a different story.
It goes through a quiet Texas suburb, a prosecutor named Bill Conradt who never walked through the sting house door, and a federal judge who sat down and watched the whole episode.
The Texas DA who warned police in writing before the sting even started
The deleted MySpace page that may never have been deleted
One sentence a Dateline producer said to an off-duty detective
What Judge Denny Chin wrote about NBC and "responsible journalism"
Why Chris Hansen walked out of Robert Pattinson's Primetime with his own camera rolling
