Retired agent Bea DeFazio\xa0is interviewed about working Innocent Images cases, going undercover online to catch child predators trolling in computer chat rooms to sexually exploit children and exchange images of abuse. During the last half of her agent career, she posed online\xa0as\xa0a child or\xa0teen\xa0and\xa0engaged in conversations\xa0with child predators\xa0in an attempt to gather the evidence to\xa0identify\xa0them and arrest them for exchanging child pornography\u2014more appropriately\xa0labeled child sexual\xa0exploitation images\u2014and/or soliciting in-person\xa0contact for sex.\xa0Bea says that this emotionally difficult work was by far the most rewarding\xa0she did for the Bureau. She also\xa0talked about\xa0her collateral duties as a member of the Evidence Response Team (ERT) and,\xa0immediately after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Towers,\xa0working at the Fresh Kills land fill sifting through debris for evidence, personal items belonging to victims and human body parts.
