Summary

Stosh Gizinski is a predator caught in a Genesee County, Michigan investigation. He is notable for claiming that he only came to the sting house to look for his long-lost missing sister.  At the time of the sting, Gizinski had been living in Lapeer, Michigan. He had been working as a roofer and has had various licensing and business issues in the past. He also had two daughters that were fourteen and eighteen-years-old at the time of the sting. Gizinski claimed that his sister, Rachel, went missing in Jackson, Michigan.  On October 18, 2023, Gizinski had begun communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Initially, Gizinski asked for a "5-10 min quickie." Described as a "fast mover" by Chris, Gizinski repeatedly asked the decoy if she was ready to meet because he had limited time away from work. After the decoy told him that she was fifteen, Gizinski responded, "Ok I can come now or I have to go back to work."  Gizinski arrived to the sting house, which was decorated with pictures of Jerry Hetherington, Donnie Vaughn, and various warning signs. After a brief conversation with the decoy, where Gizinski said almost nothing, she left and Chris came out to confront him.  Sponsored by: TruthFinder.com.
