"It was like, I finally had someone to talk to. Holtz remembers her asking: "Is this about my secret?" An agent had taken Mancuso inside his house, but even there, he tried to keep Masha from talking by yelling out to her.īut Masha spoke anyway. The agents found computer disks with child pornography - but the biggest discovery was to come from Masha herself. "He wasn't happy that we were there and it was obvious to us," he said. They immediately separated them, and Clinton says he could tell Mancuso was concerned. When they pulled up, they saw Mancuso and Masha outside. On May 27, 2003, federal agents Denise Holtz and Tom Clinton visited Mancuso's home, looking for the photos advertised on the Internet. Zaglifa pretended to want them too, and struck up a conversation with someone using the handle "NkdSister." After chatting with him for a bit, he had a gut feeling - and traced NkdSister's Internet address to Pittsburgh. There is a limited supply of child porn, and so pedophiles are always looking for arousing new images - so when Masha's fresh pictures appeared, this caused a feeding frenzy. Mike Zaglifa had been posing as a pedophile on the Internet, where obscene pictures of children are often traded like baseball cards. The road to Masha's rescue began hundreds of miles away in the Chicago suburb of Palos Heights. So I just didn't tell anybody, 'cause I was afraid." "He wouldn't tell me what it would be, but he'd just say something bad would happen. "He'd tell me not to tell anyone, or else something bad would happen," Masha said. To keep her silent he used rewards - as well as threats. "But it always came back to me - couldn't stop it." "I'd make myself think of other things when it was happening," she said.
