Michael Murray, who was 44 years old at the time of the sting, engaged in online conversations with a decoy he believed to be a 13-year-old girl named "Michelle". In an attempt to deceive her, Murray lied about his age, claiming to be 32 years old. Despite living only six minutes away from the sting house, Murray quickly steered the conversation towards romance, dating, and ultimately, sex. After chatting with the decoy for two and a half hours, Murray decided to go to the house for a dinner from McDonald's, with the intention of engaging in sexual activity.

Upon arriving at the sting house, Murray encountered Chris Hansen already in the midst of a conversation with Jeremy Keister. Decoy Casey Mauro ushered Murray inside, who was seen carrying a bag of McDonald's food and sporting a smile on his face. However, upon entering, he was met with Hansen, who invited him to sit down and join the conversation.
