Speaker 1 (00:00):
The legal nether world of deep fakes. On New Year's
Eve twenty twenty, young women from a Long Island town
were horrified to learn their photographs had been manipulated and
posted online. When the law failed them, they tracked down
the culprit themselves by Olivia Carville and Margie Murphy. Do

(00:21):
you have a second? I need to call you. The
text came through on Cecilia Luquy's phone around five forty
five p m. On the last day of twenty twenty.
She was in a shopping mall parking lot not far
from her home in Levittown, a New York suburb on
Long Island. She was sitting with her boyfriend and her
black jeep Liberty, waiting for his shift at a movie

(00:42):
theater to start. They were chatting about the New Year's
Eve party they were hosting later that night. The message
was from a former classmate at General Douglas MacArthur High School.
Lucay found it odd they had graduated a year and
a half earlier and hadn't talked in months. She texted
back asking she could call in ten minutes after her
boyfriend left for work. He's going to want to hear

(01:04):
this too. The reply said, Lukay put the call on speaker.
There's a website, the classmate said, A weird and creepy
site where someone is posting explicit photos of girls from
school and writing about them being raped and murdered. There's
pictures of you on it, and I wanted you to
know that, she said. The phone buzzed as a link

(01:25):
to the website came through. It had an extremely graphic
internet address. Come on printed picks dot com. Lukay started scrolling.
She saw Anna, a classmate in her cheerleading uniform, and Ruby,
a friend who'd sat beside her in detention. Then she
saw a photo. She recognized it was her at eighteen,

(01:46):
standing in a dressing room, but the swimsuit she'd been
wearing in the original photo, the one she'd uploaded to
social media, was gone. Someone had digitally altered the picture
so it looked like she was posing completely naked. She
knew the breasts weren't hers, but they looked real enough
that other people might think they were. She was too
stunned to speak. The next image made her gasp. It

(02:08):
showed a print out of a photo taken when she
was five, with the chubby cheeks and ringlets she'd long
since grown out of. An erect penis rested atop the photo,
touching her face. The accompanying post encouraged men to ejaculate
on it. Then she read spit on this Spanish spic.
Oh my god, lu Kay said choking. I started crying

(02:31):
really hard, she says, nearly three years later. You know
that kind of cry where you sound like you're dying,
all the heavy breathing and shaking and everything. She drove
back to her boyfriend's house and called the cops. An
hour later, detectives from the Nassau County Police Department were
knocking on the door. She hadn't been the first to call.
That night, word of the website had spread across Levittown.

(02:54):
More than forty girls from MacArthur High had been targeted.
Some were working shifts and clothing stores, or sitting at
home watching New Year's Eve celebrations on TV when they
opened the link to see doctored nude pictures of themselves.
Others were at college parties and ran home in tears.
Half a world away, unbeknown to anyone in Levittown, a

(03:16):
former police officer named Will Wallace was investigating a possible
internet sex crime in New Zealand. Earlier in twenty twenty,
an ex colleague had called him about a case that
had stumped police. A woman was being bombarded with anonymous
e mails containing pictures of herself next to erect mail Genitalia.
The photos had also been sent to her parents and

(03:37):
to a boyfriend who'd broken up with her after receiving them.
The harassment had been going on for years. Wallace, who
was trained to dig up evidence online and hoped to
start a private investigation business, decided to look into the case,
using a reverse image search tool to find places the
photos had appeared online. He was directed to come on
printed picks dot com. The site, which had been for

(04:00):
about a decade, featured thousands of images. Some were rudimentary,
made with basic photo editing software. Others were more sophisticated,
faces stitched seamlessly onto bodies engaged in sex acts, women
who'd been digitally undressed. Threads posted on the site detailed
violent fantasies. Some urged Internet trolls to find and rape

(04:22):
the women. Wallace found an account that had been sharing
the photos. The man was later charged with blackmail, harassment
and possession of child pornography, But to Wallace's chagrin, Come
On Printed picks dot com remained in operation in the
months that followed, as a group of young women on
Long Island made it their mission to uncover who'd put
altered images of them online. Wallace continued his investigation into

(04:46):
the website when he found out it was charging women
to remove photos. He says he was furious, who the
f do they think they are to not only run
a website like this, but to also charge people to
remove content? Thought, and how are they getting away with this?
No federal law criminalizes the creation or sharing of fake

(05:08):
pornographic images in the US. When it comes to fake
nudes of children, the law is narrow and pertains only
to cases where children are being abused, and Section two
thirty of the Communications Decency Act protects web forums, social
media platforms, and Internet providers from being held liable for
content posted on their sites. This legal landscape was problem

(05:30):
enough for police and prosecutors when it took time and
a modicum of skill to create realistic looking fake pornography,
But with billions of dollars of venture capital flowing into
image generating software powered by artificial intelligence, it's gotten cheaper
and easier to create convincing photos and videos of things
that never happened. Tools such as mid Journey and stability

(05:52):
AI's stable Diffusion have been used to produce images of
Pope Francis in a puffer jacket, actress Emma Watson as
a mermaid, and former President Donald Trump sprinting from a
cadre of FBI agents. The term deep fake was coined
on a Reddit forum dedicated to fake porn made with
deep learning models. It's now in the Oxford English Dictionary,

(06:14):
defined as an image digitally manipulated to depict an individual
doing something they didn't. More than fifteen billion such images
have been created since April twenty twenty two, according to
every Pixel Group, an AI photo company. The vendors that
design these tools have installed safety filters to ban the
creation of explicit images, but because much of the software

(06:36):
is open source, anyone can use it, build off it,
and deactivate the safeguards. Online security experts say more than
ninety percent of deep fakes are pornographic in nature. Mark Pullman,
founder and chief executive officer of Atios, a content moderation company,
says he's seen doctored images of girls as young as three,
dressed in leather, their hands tied together, their throats slit.

(07:00):
Like many technological advances, these AI tools edged their way
into popular culture before lawmakers and law enforcement authorities understood
their power. One man who did is Bjorn Omer, a
professor at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and co creator
of Stable Diffusion. Omer says he told academic colleagues last year,

(07:21):
before stability Ai released the software to the public, that
he was deeply concerned it had the potential for great
harm and wanted researchers to stress test it first, but
it was rushed out anyway, he says, to appease investors.
A spokesperson for stability AI didn't respond to questions about
Ohmer's allegations, but said the company is committed to preventing

(07:41):
the misuse of AI and has taken steps to prohibit
the use of its models for unlawful purposes. In October,
the Biden administration issued an executive order seeking to prevent
AI from producing child sexual abuse material or non consensual
intimate imagery of real individuals, but its unco clear how
and when such restrictions would go into effect. More than

(08:04):
a dozen states have passed laws targeting deep fakes, but
not all of them carry criminal charges. Some cover only
election related content. Most states have revenge porn laws, and
a few, including New York, have amended them to include
deep fakes, but some prosecutors say those laws apply only
to intimate photos shared consensually. As for images pulled from

(08:26):
social media and doctored to become sexual content, no law exists. Levittown,
the first Postwar U S suburb, looks much as it
did in the late nineteen forties when it was built
for veterans, white veterans only returning from World War II.
The streets are still wide and tree lined. The single

(08:48):
family homes are still uniform, tucked behind manicured lawns and
picket fences. The fifty two thousand residents are still overwhelmingly white.
Many work as teachers or cops. It's a very close
knit community, lu Kay says outside her father's house. Now
twenty two and an art student at a nearby community college,
she goes by her middle name, Cecilia. All the houses

(09:12):
are right next to each other, and on the inside
they all look exactly the same, she says, waving to
a neighbor. Walking a dog. Levittown is such a safe
place to be. Nothing weird ever happens here. Kids don't
get abducted, people don't get hurt or assaulted or anything
like that. And that's why this was all so crazy.
By New Year's Day twenty twenty one, the former MacArthur

(09:33):
students had group threads going seeking to support one another
and unmask the predator behind the harassment. They already had
a suspect, Patrick Carey, a former classmate who was then nineteen.
He'd never played sports or had a girlfriend, and they
regarded him as a stoner with a superiority complex. His
father was a police detective in New York City. Some

(09:55):
of the young women had previously received snapchat notifications that
Carrie had taken screen captures of bikini shots. They'd posted
pictures that had later appeared altered on Comeonprinted picks dot com.
Others recognized his handwriting from images on the site with
words like whore and slut written across their faces. Luquet,

(10:15):
who was friends with Carrie in school, saw his writing
style in some of the long detailed fantasies posted along
with the pictures. Several shared their suspicions with their parents
and the police, who told them there wasn't much they
could do. They didn't have probable cause for a warrant
to subpoena Carrie's IP address. Cyber harassment cases are generally
hard to prove. Keyboard predators are savvy and know how

(10:39):
to cover their tracks. Digital evidence they may fail to
mask or delete is difficult to capture and time consuming
to process. The detectives hunting them are often more comfortable
investigating irl or in real life crimes. Online vulgarity isn't
high on police priority lists. In this case, what the
person had done might be grotesque, but it wasn't obviously illegal.

(11:04):
Months went by without an arrest. Deep fake images of
Levittown girls, some made from pictures taken when they were
as young as thirteen, were still being posted from accounts
with names like Seri Jeinfeld and tween Hunter. The material
was getting even more graphic. Some threads had reached thirty
thousand views, including one where the poster asked users to

(11:26):
send voice recordings to a girl threatening to rape her
to death to finally teach her not to be such
a teasing cum target. In May twenty twenty one, he
wrote about her again, saying how funny it was seeing
which TikTok she deletes after they get posted here. He
began including the former student's full names, addresses, phone numbers,

(11:46):
and social media handles, and prompted others to contact them directly.
By summer twenty twenty one, the young women started receiving
private Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat messages with their photos beside
male jennis telia or covered in seamen. They got calls
late at night from foreign numbers with heavy breathing at
the end of the line. In response, most deleted their

(12:09):
social media accounts. One dropped out of college. Another says
she lost twenty pounds from stress. At least two started
carrying knives in their handbags. The gravity of the posts
did little to accelerate the police response. They told the
young women they were still working on the case, but
provided no further information. A spokesman for the Nassau County

(12:32):
Police Department said detectives conducted a thorough investigation. He didn't
respond to specific questions about the case. The victims and
their parents cared less about the nuances of the law
than the immediate danger the prime suspect was in their community.
If the police weren't going to do something about it.
They'd have to do something themselves. Over the summer, a

(12:55):
former MacArthur cheerleader found a disturbing photo of herself on
the site. She was smiling, wearing a white tank top
and jeans. Beside that picture was what looked like a
deep fake image of a woman in the same outfit,
covered in blood, her hands tied behind her back and
a plastic bag over her head. The caption used her
real name and said her body had been found near

(13:16):
an abandoned construction site, with seamen in her mouth, anus
and vagina, and it claimed a video of her death
was circulating on the dark web. I'd had enough. It
had to stop, says the former student, Anna, who asked
to be identified only by her first name to avoid
further harassment. Anna was then working as a special needs
aid at an elementary school in Levittown. She'd heard that

(13:39):
many of her former classmates suspected one of her oldest
friends was behind the pictures. She'd known Carrie since she
was five. His parents modest, clabbered house backed on to
East Broadway Elementary School, which they'd both attended. By the
time they got to MacArthur. Anna was a cheerleader in
the popular crowd, while Carrie was into grunge music and weed,

(14:00):
but they remained friends. Sitting together in a ninth grade
computer class, he'd regularly tease her about being Christian and
tell her he'd rather be with the devil. Carrie liked
to stir up debates on social media. He'd told some
girls their viewpoints on issues like Black Lives Matter were misinformed.
You don't need me to explain what a false dichotomy is,

(14:21):
do you, he teased one. You're basically a socialist, he
wrote another. I'm just trying to spare you the next
five to ten years of irrational thinking. He didn't sit
for a graduation photo in the twenty nineteen MacArthur yearbook.
Beside his name just says camera shy. Anna new Carrie
was odd, but she didn't think he was perverse enough

(14:41):
to be behind the pictures. She decided to start her
own investigation to unmask the predator and see if she
could clear Carrie's name from her bedroom. She spent hours
each night scrutinizing every post her harasser made. In one,
he'd shared an image of his genitals bulging out of
a little girl's underwear. While standing out in a girl's bedroom.

(15:01):
Looking closely at the background, she saw a white dresser
with brown trim and a stuffed toy sloth on a bed.
Carrie had younger twin sisters, and Anna began searching for
them on social media. She discovered that one of them
was posting dancing clips on TikTok. They were filmed from
the exact same bedroom she could see on comeon Printed

(15:22):
picks dot Com in front of the same dresser with
the same brown trim. Even the sloth was in the
same position on the bed. Oh my god, this is crazy,
Anna recalls, thinking it really is him. She says she
sent the photos to Detective Timothy Ingram, the lead investigator
on the case, in August twenty twenty one. You girls

(15:44):
are doing our detective work for us, she remembers him
saying that same month in New Zealand, Will Wallace was
closing in on the person behind come on Printed Picks
dot Com. The hunt had become an obsession. Disturbed that
no one had been able to shut down this, he
spent evenings when he wasn't busy with family responsibilities or
online studies for a psychology degree, trying to find out

(16:07):
who was behind it. After months of dead ends, he'd
hit on the idea of sending an email to an
address on the site that offered to remove photos for
a fee. In his note, Wallace requested the removal of
some fake nudes related to a case he was working on.
He got a response asking for ninety nine dollars to
take them down, and happily obliged. The invoice came from

(16:28):
a company in California called La nerd It Consulting, but
the payment went to Cloud Cyber Services LLC. Wallace learned
that Cloud was registered in the UK to one Scott
Trent Costa born in nineteen ninety three. The last name
had appeared in some email addresses he'd previously connected to
the early registration of the website. Gotcha, Wallace thought. A

(16:53):
public record search turned up a Scott Trent Costa of
the right age, residing in Louisiana. He also learned that
a company that had appeared on bank statements of some
victims who had requested to have their images removed, NOLA
Cyber Services, was registered to Trent Costa in the same
state it appeared. He'd found the man behind come on
printed picks dot Com. On September fifth, twenty twenty one,

(17:17):
according to a police report, Detective Ingram knocked on Carrie's
door armed with printouts of some of the worst posts.
He was home, as was his mother. Ingram started reading
the posts aloud. Carrie's mother pleaded for him to stop
and turned to her son, who admitted he'd written them.
The report is scant on details, and Ingram didn't respond

(17:37):
to requests for an interview, but clearly the detective heard enough.
He seized Carrie's phone and tablet, placed him under arrest,
and escorted him out of the house without giving him
a chance to put on his shoes. At the station,
Carrie gave a sworn statement saying he'd created an account
on comeon printed picks dot com in his senior year
when he was bored and addicted to online porn. He

(18:00):
said he got a kick out of the way the
site's users shamed girls, wrote rape fantasies about them, and
shared their personal information. Carrie's case landed with Melissa Scannell,
an Assistant District Attorney and chief of the Cyber Crime
Division for the Nassau County District attorney's office. With the
background in child sexual abuse cases, Scannell was familiar with

(18:20):
the dark corners of the web. Working out of an
office at the County Courthouse in Mineola, she began reading
Carrie's posts. The tenor of what he was writing scared me.
She says, I had a fear that this was going
to go off the Internet. The police had filed low
level harassment and obscenity charges against Carrie, which were unlikely
to result in jail time for a young, first time offender,

(18:44):
Scannell had ninety days to raise the stakes. After reviewing
Carrie's posts, she walked into the office of fellow assistant
District attorney Kelsey Laurer, who'd gone to MacArthur High, and said,
you got to see this shit. The two got to
work filing subpoenas for all the IP addresses linked to
Carrie's account on comeonprinted picks dot com. They found he'd

(19:05):
created fourteen usernames to boost his posts and make them
appear more popular. In one, he'd even pretended to be
a victim, begging for the harassment to stop. The prosecutors
obtained warrants to gain access to Carrie's phone and apps,
including ten thousand pages of Instagram direct messages. They saw
evidence that he'd culled photos from social media and used

(19:27):
software such as body Editor to digitally undress his subjects.
Some were so good you wouldn't know they were fake.
Scannell says. The prosecutors soon understood why police had struggled
to identify appropriate charges. New York's Penal Code bans promoting
a sexual performance by a child, but the image needs
to depict a real incident. The images carry manipulated or

(19:50):
defiled didn't seem to qualify, nor did the prosecutors have
a path under the state's twenty nineteen revenge porn law
because the photos Carrie had used had been posted public. Undeterred,
they poured over the penal code and spent weeks analyzing
all eleven hundred and ninety eight photos Carrie had uploaded
to the site. We were getting loopy by the end,

(20:11):
Scannal says. Then on October fifth, Laura found a real
image of a fourteen year old girl's genitals that Carrie
had shared on the site. The photo, taken without her
consent six years before by her then boyfriend, had spread
through the school via texts and social media. The district
attorneys were aware of the image because the girl had

(20:31):
complained to police about it more than a year earlier.
The statute of limitations had expired for the former boyfriend,
but not for Carrie, who'd shared the image in twenty twenty.
I think we've got it, Laura yelled, running into Scannell's office.
Two months later, Carrie was charged with multiple felonies, bringing
the total number of accounts against him to thirty three.

(20:52):
He pleaded guilty in December twenty twenty two to misdemeanor
child endangerment and three felonies promoting a sexual perform torments
by a child, aggravated harassment, and second degree stalking. Not
one of the charges related to the eleven hundred and
ninety eight non consensual pornographic deep fake images he'd created.

(21:15):
As Carrie's case headed towards sentencing, Will Wallace's efforts to
expose Scott Trent Costa and get come on printed picks
dot Com taken down. We're getting nowhere. He'd tried sending
the information to law enforcement officials in Louisiana and emailed
reporters there with the information he'd uncovered. No one replied,
He wrote a blog post laying out the details. No response. Then,

(21:38):
in January twenty twenty three, Wallace discovered a Reddit forum
where posters banned together to go after websites that host
non consensual pornographic content. One target was come on Printed
picks dot Com. Wallace reached out to the blogger leading it,
Claudia Lopez, and she shared his investigation unmasking Trent Costa
on the forum. Dozens of rolls found Trent Costa's relatives

(22:01):
and called them. They hacked into his university email and
tracked down an old mugshot for marijuana possession, and they
spammed threads on comeon printed picks dot com with Trent
Costa's name and photo. Every post was removed immediately. As
all that was happening, Wallace and some of the vigilantes
were going after the site's business model. First, they reported

(22:23):
the site to online advertising company Exoclick, which pulled its ads.
Then they turned their attention to the site's host, Russia
based d dos Guard. Walla sent an email to the provider,
and when he didn't get a response, he added a
paragraph to its Wikipedia page. It read d doos Guard
protects the fetish forum and non consensual imagery website Come

(22:45):
On Printed Picks. The website is known for providing a
platform for men to sexually degrade images of women. Within
a few days, on April tenth, comeon Printed Picks dot
Com was offline. D doos Guard confirmed in an email
to Bloomberg Buses this week that the website is no
longer using its services. It didn't say why the site

(23:05):
went dark. Finally, Wallace told his wife, this dump has
been taken down. Patrick Carey appeared for sentencing in Nassau
County eight days later. He'd been staying at home since
being released from police custody nineteen months earlier. Only one
victim testified at the hearing, a young woman named Kayla Michelle.

(23:25):
She asked us not to use her last name. Who'd
known Carrie since she was thirteen. We were friends, she says.
We hung out all the time, even after they finished school.
Carrie would send her jokes on Instagram. Now twenty three
in working in insurance, Kayla had been one of the
first in Levittown to find out about Comeonprinted Picks dot Com.

(23:47):
Her father, an officer with the Nassau County Police Department,
had searched her name online one night in early twenty
twenty and found something that disturbed him. Are you aware
of this? He asked her, showing her a website on
his iPhone. It had a picture of Kayla standing in
her boyfriend's back yard, but the bikini she'd been wearing
in the original shot had disappeared. She found pictures of

(24:09):
herself at fifteen with braces alongside posts encouraging users to
vote on which sex act they wanted to do with her,
including drinking her urine. Her father tried asking his colleagues
for help, but was told there wasn't much they could do.
The photos were fake and the poster was anonymous. Thinking
she'd been the only girl targeted, Kayla didn't tell any

(24:31):
of her friends. She didn't hear anything more about the
sight until that New Year's Eve, when word got out.
She attended every one of Carrie's hearings leading up to
the sentencing, her dyed, bright orange hair and nose piercing
standing out in court. At one session, the father of
a victim had to be restrained after trying to jump
the barrier to attack Carrie. At another, Carrie's father abruptly

(24:54):
left the court room, visibly distressed when some of his
son's more graphic posts were read aloud. Cala says that
after discovering the fake photos, I'd lived with a fear
of being by myself, fear of going outside, fear of
men in general. She'd had nightmares in which strange men
hunted her or she had raped me tattooed on her forehead,

(25:15):
just as she'd seen on the website. I didn't want
to live my life and fear for what he took
away from me. She stepped into the witness box with
her handwritten statement. Her hands were shaking so much the
paper was barely legible to her. She took three deep
breaths and looked at Carrie, who didn't return her gaze.
This is for all of the victims, she began. I

(25:38):
am looking you directly in the face to tell you
that you disgusted me. You had the audacity to talk
to me through social media, joke with me, and try
to be cordial with me while behind my back belittling me,
putting me down, sexualizing my younger self and body. You
completely changed the way that I viewed myself and my body,

(25:58):
and for that I'll never give you I hear your
name and I feel sick. Carrie was sentenced to six
months in prison, ten years probation, and lifetime status as
a sex offender, which meant he'd no longer be able
to own a smartphone or any device with a camera,
or be within one thousand feet of a school or
a playground. In a press conference after the sentencing, Nassau

(26:20):
County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said the depravity on display
in the case truly makes my skin crawl. But Carrie
had underestimated the bravery of the young women he'd targeted,
she said, and that is why we are able to
stand here today and make this announcement. Then, Donnelly unveiled
a proposal to make deep fakes illegal in New York.

(26:41):
The Digital Manipulation Protection Act, she said, would make it
a criminal offense to publish sexually explicit photos that had
been digitally altered, whether the images were originally shared on
social media or not. A version of the bill has
been introduced in the state Assembly and is looking for
sponsors in the Senate. With Kerrie behind the Nassau County

(27:01):
prosecutors had one final task. Scannell and Laurer drafted a
letter to send to comeon printed picks dot com, providing
Carrie's certificate of conviction and an outline of the case
based on his criminal conviction arising out of his posts.
They wrote, we would respectfully request that you remove all
posts by usernames associated with him. But when they went

(27:22):
to the website to search for the administrator's email in April,
they discovered the site was gone. They didn't know that
an ex cop in New Zealand had seen that it
was taken down. That should have been the end of it,
except it wasn't. When BusinessWeek, drawing on publicity records obtained
through a Freedom of Information Act request, searched for usernames
Carrie had employed on comeon printed picks dot com, the

(27:45):
names also turned up at the url tribute printed picks
dot com. It was the same website with a different address.
What Scannell said in August when told about Tribute printed
picks dot com it's back. She tried to open it
on her work phone but was blocked by a firewall.
She texted a colleague, a cybercrime analyst with unrestricted web access,

(28:07):
and asked her to see if the deep fakes of
the former MacArthur's students were still visible. Minutes later, the
analyst texted back in all caps what the actual f
Later that day, Scannell and Laurer sent their letter to
the administrator of Tribute Printed picks dot Com. Most of
the MacArthur class of twenty nineteen deep fakes have since
been removed from the site, but thousands of other images remain,

(28:31):
including some showing teenagers with seamen running down their faces
or participating in group sex. Some users on the site
offer stable diffusion deep fakes for sale, while others post
pictures of women taken from social media and ask who
can fake them. BusinessWeek's efforts to track down Scott Trencosta
at la nerd It Consulting's office in Monterey Park, California,

(28:55):
were fruitless. A person at the address said no one
from the company had been around in years, and mail
addressed to Trent Costa had been piling up. An e
mail sent to him in November informing him that BusinessWeek
intended to identify him in connection with comeon Printed picks
dot Com elicited a plea not to name and shame,
and an explanation that people who don't want to have

(29:15):
their pictures posted can have them removed for free. The
sender signed off by calling the reporter weirdo. As for Wallace,
he's put his hunt for Trent Costa on hold. He's
now working as a health and safety inspector on a
construction site in Queenstown in southern New Zealand. The young
women in Levittown are trying to move on, but it's hard.

(29:37):
Fourteen of them have protection orders out against Carrie until
twenty thirty one. They still can't grasp how what he
did to their photos is legal. As for Carrie, he
was released from prison in September after four months with
time off for good behavior, and is back home. He
and his father declined to comment for this story. In
early November, Cecilia Luquet was driving through Levittown when she

(30:00):
saw Carrie wandering down the street. He was wearing a
brown hoodie and had headphones on. She recognized his walk.
My heart started racing and I started crying, says Luquat.
She turned her car around to confront him, but by
the time she got back to the spot, he disappeared.
