Four For Friday - Cold Case Reopened

It took almost two decades to get another lead, but recently there was big one. Almost two decades ago the FBI was closing in on this permanent A list showrunner. Why? The showrunner was big into child porn and was known for using his studio sets after hours to film child porn. Parents would bring their children for auditions and be forced to wait in a staging area by the entrance of the studio. Meanwhile, the children would be transported to the stage where the showrunner recorded his show and then two to three hours of filming would begin. There was no cloud back then and the files were really too large for computers. Copies were made and distributed to those who had purchased the items and the originals were all kept for two years and then destroyed. The originals were kept at all times with the showrunner in his briefcase. When he was abruptly killed, those originals were gone and the case against him. No one was talking. For almost two decades no one has talked because all the records and originals were gone with him. Without proof, they were all in the clear. No one even knew who was on the sets when the child porn was recorded. Until now. One of the victims is in the television industry and she was working on a set and recognized one of the photographers because of a very unique tattoo. She remembers seeing it back then, and had an instant flashback when she saw it on a set last month. She notified the FBI who confronted the man and he has been talking a lot. They won't get all of the people involved, but they will get some. The showrunner was careful that only fake names were used while working and they tried to hide themselves as much as possible. No one even knows who the original buyers were either because those records went up in flames too. Finally, though, some justice.
