Lucas Ralph Field is a predator that was caught in a Monroe County, Michigan investigation of Takedown. At the time of the sting, Field had been living in Ida, Michigan. He was "self-employed in the nursery
business," referring to landscaping. At the time, Field's 96-year-old
mother had been living with him, with Field responsible for her care. Field had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Field told the decoy that if she ever wanted to leave home without any place to live, that she should contact him. He also requested that the two get together for breakfast the next morning so that he could meet her in preparation for her possibly running away in the future. He expressed concern about the meeting the decoy in public, however, due to her
age. The conversation quickly turned, with Field asking how much the decoy would charge for "DFK" (Deep French Kissing) in his truck that night. Field acknowledged that concern, stating that he was only "trying to find a happy medium," whereby he could still sexually exploit a child without having full sex. The sting was set up in a local hotel room. Field had initially got lost finding the room, but after calling the decoy a second time, he was able to find it. After entering the room, Field was immediately taken into custody by police and sat down for a talk with Chris. When asked what the decoy's age was, Field acknowledged that he knew her age to be fifteen.

He was processed by police before being sat for an interview. Through tears and sniffling, his first words were, "Chris Hansen." Walker claimed that he would have "chickened out" had police not been there. Police found metal rings in Walker's pockets when searching, but Walker claimed that they were hydraulic o-rings that he used at work and not used for sexual pleasure. For much of the interview, Walker had a large string of nasal mucous hanging off of his nose which he could not wipe because his hands were cuffed. His message to other potential predators was "Do it, so they can bust you and throw you in jail."

Dylan Joseph Abramson is a predator caught in the Marquette, Monroe, Michigan sting. He is mostly known for his resemblance to actor Tony Revolori, as well as his mental breakdown during his interview and arrest, whining about losing his job and making an odd face when asked if he'd had sex with a child before. At the time of the sting, Dylan was twenty-one years old and an aerospace engineering student at Michigan Tech College. He lived with his parents in Houghton, Michigan. Dylan approached a girl who claimed to be nineteen years old from a prostitution advertisement.

The two made conversation for a moment, with Dylan acknowledging that she had a bong and that he would be willing to share some of the mariujana in his car with the decoy.

Matthew John Bonjean is a predator caught in a Polk County, Florida investigation of ⁠Takedown with Chris Hansen⁠.
He is notable for being a fan of Chris', mentioning Chris' name in the chat, and anxiously laughing throughout the interview.

The decoy again told him her age, 12, and asked if that was okay, to which he responded that it was. He expressed concern that the decoy may be a
police officer. He later stated that he thought it could be Chris
Hansen because the decoy asked him to bring condoms, which is a common tactic throughout predator investigations to show. He should have listened to his hunch.
