In tonight’s FBI episode, a new serial killer emerged. He drove around in a dark blue van and his favorite victims were male prostitutes. He especially liked the ones living on the street. They were the sort that were desperate enough to get a black vehicle with no visible windows besides the two upfront. But he made his mistake with his latest victim because he didn’t bury him deep enough.
Someone tripped on him as they were exploring the park and so the good Samaritan called it. The FBI were alerted because the burial site was federal land. They went out there with a dog and the dog sniffed out several other graves. There were at least five victims that the feds found. The victims were all male prostitutes and they were all black. The latest victim was known to operate inside of clubs in the West Village in the city and so that’s where the FBI began their search for the serial killer.
They found out their victim was cruising a certain place the night he was last seen. Four agents went there and they found someone trying to hide. They uncovered this person. He ran and they later arrested him on the suspicion he had something to do with the deaths, but of course the case couldn’t be that easy and nor was their guy the killer. The guy that ran was a homeless guy. He had been staying at the abandoned warehouse as a place to stay warm. He wasn’t the killer and he didn’t see the killer. The killer did leave behind a few things in the area. Like a shovel. There was security footage that showed the killer was driving around in the van and unfortunately for them the van was stolen. And therefore wasn’t much use.
The FBI did find more security footage. They found out which club their last victim attended and they went there asking people who worked them if they remembered him, but no one did. Not really. They remember the victim was speaking to several guys in the hopes of scoring a free drink.
He was a party boy and so everyone pretty much dismissed him. the only ones who would pay attention to a guy like that was someone up for the party or someone hoping to harm him. FBI Special Agent Tiffany Wallace had a cousin who was a pastor in the area. They went to him to find out if anyone has been complaining about someone getting rough and he said he hadn’t heard anything. He also gave the name of someone who might help.
This person naturally tried to run from the feds when he saw them. But they got him. They questioned him and he wasn’t their guy either. Only he heard something on the street. He heard that a guy who turns johns had almost gotten grabbed and thrown into the back of a van. The feds followed up on that lead. They called upon Tiffany’s cousin again to find out if he knew this Crabtree and he did. He admitted he tried counsel him.
The preacher gave them the location where they could find Crabtree and they found him and talked to him. Crabtree confirmed that someone did try to throw him into the back of a van. He didn’t see the guy’s face because he was wearing a hoodie pulled down. He also parked in a dark area on the street. Crabtree admitted he would have ignored him if he hadn’t thought the van belonged to the preacher.
The preacher drives the same blue van as the killer. What little Crabtree was able to see, the killer was also black and that coupled with what the feds worked out for their profile had Special Agent Stuart Scola looking at Tiffany’s cousin sideways. Scola met Preacher Terrance. He saw his files. He saw that Terrance has been taking long lens pictures of young men on the street as if he was stalking them and that Terrance gets pretty personal with the people he’s supposedly trying to help.
Him being the killer makes sense. The victims would get into a van if they knew it was him. They would trust him and leave themselves open to exposure. There was also one other clue. Terrance was seen on security footage outside of the gay club where one of the victims partied and if that wasn’t bad enough there was the fact that Terrance turns off his phone every night.
Terrance couldn’t be tracked during the nights when the victims were killed. Scola brought what he found to his fellow agents behind his partner’s back and they agreed with him that it was suspicious. Terrance was brought in for questioning. He lied to the feds about being at the club. He tried to deny it was him in the footage and so Tiffany spoke to him one on one with the cameras turned off.
She confirmed with her cousin that he was in fact gay. He couldn’t be open about it because he didn’t want the church to find out or to fire him and he’s fears weren’t unfounded. Tiffany spoke to a family. They got angry at Tiffany was bringing the spotlight on her cousin and they said Terrance wasn’t a “freak”. This is how Tiffany’s relative referred to gay people and so it wasn’t just the church that Terrance was afraid of.
But there was another suspect. One of the men they spoke with and had dismissed was seen around the park area near the time of deaths. They spotted him near the alleys again. He had just killed someone else and he was about to kill Scola when Tiffany shot and killed their serial. She thought that would be the end of it but her cousin is still facing charges for lying to the FBI. He hindered the prosecution by covering up his secret and if he had been honest from the start then maybe they could have found the latest victim before he died.
THE END!
