Chris Hansen is a correspondent for NBC News' "Dateline NBC." He joined NBC in May 1993, as a correspondent for "Now with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric."
In September 2004, Hansen began his breakthrough investigative reporting on online sexual predators. Eleven dramatic hidden camera investigations have exposed over 250 men who target young teenagers over the Internet. In April 2007, he reported in "To Catch an ID Thief," an unprecedented investigation into the massive billion-dollar epidemic of identity theft. Using "Dateline's" signature hidden camera techniques, the report followed the trails of an international identity theft ring, capturing for the first time on network television how the crime works and some of the people that may be behind the process.
