"Further investigation revealed that the location where the videos were recorded matched images of rooms recently displayed in an online property rental listing where Albino resides," the release said.

The day after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children contacted the detective, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force "executed a court-authorized search of Albino’s residence and immediately recognized that some of the furnishings of rooms inside Albino’s residence matched those depicted in the videos of child sexual abuse," according to the release.
