Manage episode 290183124 series 2899237
It’s a troubling case: Two truck drivers accused of kidnapping women and then forcing them into prostitution or holding them for ransom.
Yet somehow, Brian T. Summerson, 25, and Pierre Washington, 35, were able to secure their freedom relatively easily during two points of the investigation by the FBI.
In the latest episode of FreightWaves’ true-crime podcast, Long-Haul Crime Log, co-host and investigative reporter Clarissa Hawes looks into the case and the uncomfortable questions that the FBI wouldn’t answer.

Joining Hawes in the episode, co-host and producer Nate Tabak.
