FBI and DHS Used Foreign National Convicted Pedophile to Catch Murder for Hire Suspect
An exclusive report from Forbes uncovered that the FBI used a Department of Homeland Security source who was previously convicted of a “child sexual abuse material crime.”
In the investigative report, it was revealed a woman by the name of Julia Coda who went by the online name Bonfire was arrested after she allegedly went on a dark web hitman-for-hire-site to offer thousands to anyone willing to murder a Louisiana man who Coda believed kidnapped her late sister’s daughter.
Unknown to Coda at the time, the site was a scam that took people’s money and also fed details to federal investigators.
A search warrant obtained by Forbes which led to Coda’s arrest revealed the government received evidence from a DHS source from a foreign national who is a convicted pedophile.
