Also on this week's podcast, host John Kingston talks about two reports out of the oil patch that on their face seem to contradict each other but may be more in sync than one might think.

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.
