Why were truckers in kidnapping cases able to go free so easily‪?‬ Long-Haul Crime Log

    • True Crime

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.
She also looks into the drivers themselves and their activities in the trucking industry. That includes the company Washington owns, God Got Me.  
Joining Hawes in the episode, co-host and producer Nate Tabak.
