Joseph Myrick

He asks her what her favorite positions are and tells her "We'll try others". He then states he does not want her mom to find out, as it would "ruin a good thing".

He arrives at the sting house with a giant white semi-truck. He exits the vehicle and is waved by the decoy. Myrick enters the house and makes himself right at home by pouring himself a glass of iced tea offered by the decoy. The decoy then talks about Myrick's truck, saying she would love to go for a ride. Myrick says he would love to take her on one. Chris Hansen then steps out, asking Myrick where he was exactly going to take her. Myrick immediatly starts replying at a fast rate, saying he would just take her for a ride and that he was not a pervert. Chris questions Myrick if he owns the truck, to which Myrick responds that he doesn't. He replies by saying "they was looking at it in a bad note."

After Myrick is done being questioned by Chris and is exposed on national television, he is arrested by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office without incident. His truck is searched, where an officer finds cocaine and gleefully announces it to the others. During his questioning, Joseph was asked how he would react if he encountered a man trying to solicit one of his nieces or nephews. After asking if he could give an honest answer, Joseph responded with, " I would want to kill him. "

Myrick ended up being convicted on Criminal Attempt To Commit Child Molestation and Criminal Attempt To Commit Statutory Rape. Despite being a convicted felon, who had eleven prior arrests in the past twenty-four years, he was sentenced to ten years in prison with a minimum of five years to serve. He was also required to register as a sex offender for life. He was released from prison in 2009 and remained on probation until 2024.

Myrick had been in trouble with the law before he was caught in the sting. He had a felony drug possession charge and six misdemeanors.

Chris described Myrick as a "motor mouth" in the The Unseen Tapes of the Fortson, Georgia episode, stating he was hard to understand and was almost like a cartoon character because of how fast he talked. When police found cocaine in Myrick's truck, Chris said that might have been the factor for why he was talking "a mile a minute."
