In this gripping episode of The Cold Cases, host Dustin Terry sits down with Kevin J. Laws, former Department of Homeland Security child-exploitation agent and author of the haunting memoir Hunter of the Damned: A Walk Through Hell.
For nearly two decades, Kevin lived undercover — infiltrating online predator networks, tracking digital footprints, and facing the unimaginable to save children from abuse. His story isn’t just about investigation; it’s about sacrifice, trauma, and the human cost of justice.
Together, Dustin and Kevin dive deep into:
💀 The psychological toll of long-term undercover work
💡 The evolution of child-exploitation crimes in the digital age
🙏 How faith, purpose, and mental resilience kept him going
🔥 The emotional aftermath of walking through hell — and finding redemption on the other side
Kevin’s journey will leave you speechless. His courage pulls back the curtain on one of the darkest battles in law enforcement — and what it means to stand between innocence and evil.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
