NBC Settles Lawsuit Involving Deceased Texas Man

A lawsuit brought by a woman whose brother shot himself during an NBC News To Catch a Predator sting has reportedly been settled.

Patricia Conradt, nor NBC News, offered any comment, after the $105 million lawsuit was reported finalized. NBC in a statement said, "The matter has been amicably resolved to the satisfaction of both parties."

Conradt filed the suit in 2007 in New York claiming that the show did not properly protect her brother, Louis William Conradt Jr. Dateline had been working with a civilian group, Perverted Justice, and local authorities in Murphy, Texas, conducting a sting on adult men trying to meet up with minors.

The November 2006 sting reported that Louis Conradt allegedly engaged in an explicit e-mail exchange with what he thought was a 13-year-old boy. The "boy" turned out to be a person working for Perverted Justice.

Conradt, a former Kaufman County, Texas prosecutor, failed to show up at the home of the "boy" he thought he was talking to.

When Dateline correspondent Chris Hanson and a camera crew went to his house with local police, Conradt shot himself to death as officers were entering the home.
