A woman at Matthew Cook's home in Wayland (MI) wouldn't talk.
But records 24 Hour News 8 found in a Wyoming courtroom speak volumes about a disturbing plan to lure, kidnap and rape a young girl.
Matthew Cook, the former Wayland part-time fire fighter charged with downloading child *advertiser censored* on a fire department computer in 2004, allegedly asked a Grand Rapids prostitute for help with his plan.
But that would-be accomplice turned witness, calling police and helping them obtain a recorded phone conversation in which Cook allegedly outlines his plan.
and
...investigators say Cook has admitted to making the call recorded by police with the help of the prostitute.
Whether he would have gone ahead with the plan, perhaps only he knows. But investigators are happy they got to him before he had the chance. They credit the witness for coming forward.
"She did the right thing," Hertel said. "She had been in contact with the individual and thought this could possibly lead to something very drastic for some child out there and she did the right thing."
