No more true crime. Too depressing.
You don't have the attention span
for an audiobook while you're driving.
What about a comedy?
Dude, I'm not sitting here
through eight hours of bad jokes.
I don't know what's happening.
- Oh, now we're breaking down? - Accelerator's not working.
Do you even know what you're looking for?
I can call back to the depot.
Relax. I got it.
Hey, you guys having some engine trouble?
Uh, we're good. Thanks.
I'd be happy to take a look for you.
Or not.
We're not trying to get in your way or anything.
I just, I-I know a lot about engines.
I thought I could help.
You ever work on a truck this size?
Yeah, a little.
We're not really sure what happened.
It just kind of shut...
Wait!
Victims are Luke Hodge and David Mills,
both long-haul truckers
from a company based up the road.
Looks like someone came for the truck,
took the drivers out in the process.
What was in the truck?
Guns, ammo.
It came from a company called Riddiford Arms.
Uh, any idea what time the attack occurred?
Yeah, the truck's internal GPS was disabled at 5:32 a.m.
We think that's when the hijackers took over.
There's no skid marks.
They weren't forced off the road.
There must've been a reason they pulled over.
Any idea what this is?
No.
The lab will know.
That device in the photo Maggie and OA sent...
It's a fuel pump kill switch.
Installed in an engine,
it can be used to remotely disable
a truck's fuel supply on cue,
causing it to break down as if it ran out of gas.
That explains how they stopped the truck.
ERT find any prints on it?
No, the perps were likely wearing gloves.
All right, well, they were sloppy enough
to leave that thing at the scene, though.
Doesn't feel like a professional hit.
Do we know what was taken yet?
No, ATF is still waiting on an exact inventory list
from Riddiford, but it's not looking good.
Military-grade ammo, assault rifles...
Yeah, not the kind of stuff we want hitting the streets.
Well, if the person we're looking for
had access to the truck's engine,
it was likely an inside job, right?
Yeah, have Maggie and OA check in with the arms company.
Yep.
We're really sorry about your drivers.
Thank you. We're all still in shock here.
I mean, Luke... I hired him right out of high school.
He worked here in the warehouse with me for years.
Just switched to driving when his daughter was born.
More money.
Have you ever had any issues with transports in the past?
No.
Our drivers are armed, ride with companions.
Mrs. Preston, we are gonna find
the people who did this.
Okay, um, where was this shipment headed?
To mass retailers down the coast...
Uh, arms stores, gun shows.
How many people had access to the truck before it went out?
Not many.
Our trucks are usually secured here at headquarters.
Only time they're out of our sight
is right before a long haul,
when they go for the mechanic's inspection.
Who's your mechanic?
We use a third-party contractor, off-site.
Okay, uh, we're gonna need their information.
All right, check it out.
The mechanic that worked on the truck was Kevin McGuire,
39 years old.
Never showed up at work today.
Agents aren't getting an answer at his house.
It's looking more and more like he was the one
- that sabotaged the fuel line. - Hey.
- Yeah. - Wait till you hear this.
Riddiford did not do such a great job
of screening their third-party contractors.
McGuire has a record.
Did time for armed robbery and assault,
fell in with a white prison gang
while he was on the inside, the Rikers Royals.
I know the Royals.
Investigated them with Narcotics,
they're drug traffickers.
And arms traffickers, and burglars.
Royals used to operate out of a pool hall in midtown.
Oh, they still do.
It's all over McGuire's social media, the Rowdy Barrel.
Okay.
All right, good. Check it out.
See if you can get someone in McGuire's orbit talking.
Yeah?
Hey.
Isn't that the woman from McGuire's social media?
Yeah, I think so.
Excuse me.
Hi, we're with the FBI.
Uh, have you heard from Kevin McGuire recently?
Kevin? Nah.
- I don't really know him. - Really?
He's in this bar all the time. You never talked to him?
Not really.
Leah Ritter, right?
You know it's a crime to lie to federal agents?
I didn't think he was gonna kill anybody.
Okay.
Why don't you back up, tell us what happened,
from the beginning?
I started seeing Kevin a few months ago.
Thought he was a good guy, rough around the edges.
But, uh, he came to me a few days ago,
said some guy offered him a big job,
quick and easy and a huge payday.
He say who was financing this?
No, just that it was a lot of money,
said that it was gonna change our lives.
He asked me to drive him up to that factory,
follow the truck until it broke down.
I just thought he was gonna steal something,
but then he shot those poor men.
- What did you do? - Nothing.
I froze. I didn't know what to do.
I stayed in the car until Kevin got the truck up and running,
and then he just drove off.
You have any idea where he went?
No, he just left me there.
Never checked in, isn't answering my calls.
What phone is he using?
Some, uh, burner phone he got at the corner store.
Um, I mean, you can check my phone.
The number is... Is in there.
What happens next?
Leah, two people are dead.
We'll let the U.S. Attorney know you cooperated,
but you're looking at a second-degree murder charge.
Tell me.
Leah's call history confirms her story.
She tried calling McGuire a dozen times
after the hijacking.
His number is registered to a burner
purchased near the Rowdy Barrel.
Did you get a location from the phone?
Yeah, it's pinging up around Armonk.
All right, all right!
You sure we're in the right place?
Trust me, Maggie.
Three years in Army intel, I can read a sat map.
All right, this is the Riddiford truck.
Yup.
He's gone!
Nowhere to go around here, maybe he made the deal
and got a ride back to the city with the buyer.
The latch is still open.
Guns are still here.
FBI! Hands where I can see them!
So Kevin McGuire kills two people
to steal a truck full of guns,
and then someone kills Kevin McGuire,
but no one takes any guns?
Weren't after the guns. After the ammo.
Well, according to this manifest.
There are four crates of M995
black tip rounds missing.
Black tips?
Those are hardcore, armor-piercing,
made for law enforcement and military.
So whoever stole this ammo is up to something pretty big.
Big enough to kill three people.
We passed a gas station on the way.
I'm gonna see if they have security cameras.
Only three vehicles went down the dead-end road
after the hijacking:
the gun truck, a sedan that's registered to an older woman
who lives there, and this van.
License plates are fake.
It goes down the road ten minutes behind the Riddiford truck,
and comes back 15 minutes after.
All right, check it out.
Ian enhanced the footage,
we got a clear shot of the driver.
Facial rec ID'd him as Nur Rojak.
Who's Nur Rojak?
