Megyn Kelly's Team Recounts Finding John "Jersey" Tanko for Hidden Camera Interview

The Elusive Target

• 🎯 The team spent years trying to locate John "Jersey" Tanko for an interview, hiring multiple private investigators and exhausting all avenues.
• 💡 Despite extensive efforts, they initially believed the interview would not happen and were content with securing Megyn Kelly's participation.

Breakthrough in the Search

• 🔍 A private investigator from Kansas City found an obituary for Lisa Gallow, which listed her domestic partner as John Tenko, a crucial lead.
• 🏠 Following up on the address where Lisa Gallow last lived, the team learned from a resident that John Tanko had been kicked out for lighting fires and erratic behavior.
• 📍 A tip about a house on a cul-de-sac near a diner, with horses nearby, led the reporter to the general area.

The Confrontation and Discovery

• 🐕 While scouting the cul-de-sac, a barking dog drew attention, and the reporter spotted John Tanko himself peeking from behind a fence.
• 🤥 When asked about John and Lisa, Tanko immediately lied, directing the reporter away, confirming his identity to the reporter who recognized him from mugshots.
• 📞 The reporter, visibly shaken, contacted the executive producer from a nearby diner, confirming the significant breakthrough.

Pre-Interview Tensions and Safety Concerns

• 🎤 The team had no usable footage of Tanko, only mugshots, as he had successfully avoided cameras and was incarcerated after a previous crime.
• ⚠️ Before the eventual confrontation with Bill, law enforcement briefed the team, raising significant concerns about safety and protocols, leading to second-guessing.
• 🛡️ Doug, Megyn Kelly's husband, had a call with Bill emphasizing his wife's safety, and a sergeant's warning during a pre-interview briefing further heightened the tension.
• 🤝 It was decided that Megyn Kelly would not go in alone, and would be accompanied by Bill, who was experienced in handling threatening situations.
