10 years ago today, on July 7, 2015, federal and state authorities executed a search warrant at the home of Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesperson, as part of an investigation into child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and related offenses.
This raid was a major turning point in the case, which ultimately led to:
• Jared Fogle pleading guilty in August 2015 to possession and distribution of CSAM, and to traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
• In November 2015, he was sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in federal prison.
• His case stemmed in part from the investigation and cooperation of Russell Taylor, the former director of Fogle’s charitable foundation, who was found to have created and distributed CSAM and had secretly recorded minors.
The case was especially shocking to the public due to Fogle’s long-standing image as a wholesome figure associated with healthy lifestyle changes and Subway’s marketing campaigns.
I had spent almost a year working and training ESD K9 Bear to detect the unique odor used in electronic storage devices. He successfully located a concealed thumb drive during the search operation.
This search warrant launched my business (Jordan Detection K9)
Since 2015, we have now trained and placed 219 ESD K9s with law enforcement agencies in 46 states and seven countries around the world!
Thank you Indiana State Police, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Indiana ICAC, and especially Detective Odier for believing in the K9 program over the years!
