- Teddy and Janice Burdette.

Married truckers, found dead
in the cab of their semi

last night in a field off I-90
in northeastern Ohio.

Their trailer was broken into
and cargo was stolen...

- Murder and theft
from an interstate shipment

makes this a federal case.

- And that's why the DOT
called us.

Looks like they were killed
outside of the truck,

and then their bodies
were moved back inside.

Janice was sprawled on a bed
behind the seats.

We're running a rape kit
on her now,

but she was found
fully clothed.

Teddy was posed
in the driver's seat

with his hands duct-taped
to the steering wheel.

- What's that on the dashboard?

- His ears.

- Whoa.

- So Janice was shot.
Teddy was stabbed.

No shell casing was recovered,

so the killer must've
taken them with.

- What was the truck carrying?

- Electronics, but it's cargo
from different distributors.

We've reached out
to the trucking company

to try to find out
what's missing.

Oh, and we also
have shoe prints

inside the trailer.
We're analyzing those.

No fingerprints.

- This doesn't feel like
highway robbery.

For that you shoot them dead,
and leave them where they drop.

- Yep, they made someone angry.

- Teddy's not a small man.

I don't buy that one person

could've got him
back in the driver's seat.

- You're right.

It's more than just a robbery
and more than one assailant.

And it's contradictory.
Heated rage with the stabbings,

but they're coolheaded enough
to take their shell casings.

- My brother's in trucking.

Whole lot of corruption
in that industry.

Could be mob related
or a problem in the union.

- I mean, the ears
have to be a message.

The Burdettes should've
listened more, maybe?

[soft suspenseful music]

- The truck should have
a tracking monitor, yeah?

That'll tell us
what his last moves were.

- Uh, it was turned off
at a parking lot

20 miles from the scene,

but if your brother's
in trucking,

maybe you have some insight.

- Only the obvious.

You don't want your boss
to know where you are.

♪

- All right, let's get to work.

Crosby and Ortiz,
head to the trucking company.

Barnsey, you're with me.

- I'm sorry of what happened,
but I really didn't know them.

Teddy and Janice
were independent operators.

Come here.

[sighs]

They were the lowest bid
on that route

for the last six months,

so I kept hiring them.

In this business, you pick one:
cheap or fast.

I go with cheap.

- Union can't be happy
about that.

- We ain't union here.

Not many carriers left
that are.

- But you do have
company drivers.

How'd they feel about Teddy
and Janice taking their hauls?

- They bitched and moaned
as per usual.

- You think any of them
could've done this?

- Doubt it.

That would require brains,
balls, and physical activity--

not our employees' strong set.

- All right, Teddy and Janice,

they're hauling electronics,
right?

- Yeah, headed to some big box
retailors in Chicago.

We got cargo insurance.
I ain't worried about it.

- All right, we're gonna need
a copy of the manifest

that breaks down exactly
what they were carrying.

- And list
of the company drivers.

- Yes, sir,
I'll get right on that,

'cause I got enough today
already.

Anne Byrne!
In my office!

- Only reason I remember them

is 'cause she got into
a stupid argument over darts.

Guy said she cheated.

- Playing darts?
What kind of argument?

- Looked to me like a drunk guy

who didn't like
losing to a woman.

- You talking about last night
with Ribs and Elmer?

[indistinct chatter]

That's them.

- How'd they get those names?

- Ribs because
he makes good ones,

and no one's seen his

Officially, she's Elmer
after the cartoon.

Unofficially,
it came from Elmer's Glue.

Sticky fingers.
- She steals?

- Steals, cheats.
You the police?

- FBI.

Those two were murdered
last night.

- What?
How?

I just saw them.

- So Janice is a rule breaker,
and what about Teddy?

- They ran illegal.

- They trafficked
illegal goods?

- That I don't know.

They broke rules
right and left though.

Slept too little,
carried too heavy.

- Okay, so Crosby says
the Burdettes' missing cargo

was a bunch of laptops.
- Makes sense.

Easy to carry,
high resale value.

- Except they left behind
cell phones, TVs,

and hard drives.

[soft dramatic music]

What?
- That scale.

I wonder if the Burdettes
weighed in over there.

- Well, it'd be one less stop

they'd have to make
on the highway.

♪

- Well, if they did use it,

we could compare that number

to the weight listed
in the manifest.

- And see if they were
carrying anything extra

the company didn't know about?
- Exactly.

- Now the Burdettes' truck
weighed in 185 pounds heavier

than they weighed
on their cargo manifest.

Do we know where they took on
the extra weight?

- Well, it'd have to be
at that parking lot.

The last weigh-in before that,
calculating for fuel,

their weight was in line
with the manifest.

- 185 pounds could be a person.

- The footage from
the parking lot's

security camera's horrible,

but I did get
the license plate number

of a truck parked
near the Burdettes,

they have a dash cam.

Youngstown Police got a call

one of the highest in the state

- Well, it's been a major
injustice of the pandemic.

Children in poverty being

And who's top dog

targeted revenge.

innocent people.

I'd say they're escalating.

- It could be a message.
According to the lawsuit,

employees say they weren't
being paid sick leave,

and the Griffins
were buying art instead.

They would get big tax breaks
for opening the gallery.

- They valued paintings
over people.

- And Greg and Wyatt
destroyed it.

- ERT found this.

Looks like a cell phone.
It was connected to the vest.

- Could be the detonator.

- If it was,
there'll be a record of it.

What do we have
on the nearest cell tower?

- Okay, there was an outgoing
call from a prepaid phone

right before the bomb went off.
- We've dealt with this before.

They turned Julia's phone off
and stripped the metadata.

- The phone used to trigger
the bomb is still on.

- Why would they do that?
- It's a burner.

They don't think
we have the number.

- I can track the phone.

- I'm sorry for whatever
you think my dad did,

but I swear he's a good man.

- Good man?

Sounds to me

"an eye for an eye"?
