Hi Paul. Hi Ardly. How are you doing? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm so good. It's so great to have you on Small Town Dicks. Oh I am so happy to be here. So we want to know how did we persuade you to join us here on Small Town Dicks. Oh it was it was a lot of arm twisting. Not the truth.

Well what has always impressed me about Small Town Dicks is the professionalism. First you have your authenticity. You know Dan and Dave, myself we come out of real crime. We've had real experiences. And so the audience, the listeners are getting from Small Town Dicks. What actually happens out there. Not something that's been glamorized. But also you guys don't exploit the cases. You're empathetic to the victims. And this is what I'm all about. And I know that people who know me from

other projects, they will truly see that when they start listening to Small Town Dicks. That's an incredible endorsement. Dan and Dave tell the fine people about some Patreon. Where Paul Holes also joins us on quite a few nuggety nuggets. For just five bucks a month you'll have access to an assortment of bonus episodes, outtakes, listener questions, special series.

Please be warned that this episode is about child sexual abuse and sexual tourism. And while we do not dwell on the graphicness of the crimes committed, we wanted to give you a heads up about the disturbing nature of this case.

And let you know that listener discretion is advised.

Nancy sees a lot of children going in and out of one of the hotel rooms. So she goes down to this room and looks inside and what she finds is Sam playing strip poker with many younger boys.

Just a room full of young boys and basically by talking to them, she learns that Sam has paid all of them to come up to this hotel room and they're all in various stages of undress some of them naked.

Hi there, I'm Yardley. I'm Dan and I'm Dave. And this is Small Town Dicks.

Dave and I are identical twins and we're retired detectives from Small Town USA. Together we've investigated thousands of cases from petty theft to sex crimes, from child abuse to murder.

Every case in our podcast is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they broke the case.

Names, places and certain details including relationships have been altered to protect the privacy of the victims and their families. And although we're aware that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we ask you to please join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

Today on Small Town Dicks we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dan. Hello everyone. Hello you. And we have Detective Dave.

I am happy to be back. We are always happy to have you. And Small Town fam, we are so excited because we have one of our favorite returning guests, Detective Robert, who you may recall over the course of many seasons has given us cases like

trouble follows, what about Bob, kill Bill, Robert's one of our ringers. Robert, thank you so much for joining us today.

I am just tickled to be back. Thank you. This is amazing. And also it needs to be mentioned that you're giving us one of your very precious days off and we're deeply grateful for that too.

Oh, I'm happy to do it.

So Robert, you're a pro at this. I'm just going to hand it over to you and tell us how this case came to you. All right. Well, first of all, everyone, thank you for letting us talk about this particular case because I know it is not the listeners favorite topic.

But I think this one's important to talk about my goal today is to talk about the worst to most prolific child cereal offender that I've worked. And basically just by going over the case, I'm hoping that the listeners will be better prepared to protect children, whether they're their own or children.

In the community, but I just want to tell a story about a case I worked several years ago with my team about a guy named Sam.

And I'm going to go back, I guess 24 years to accurately tell the story and kind of lead up to what me and my team got involved. And of course, I do want to point out this was definitely a team effort.
