709 Boyce Massacre

After revealing their identities, Jimmy and Hope asked the nurse to confirm that there was anything wrong with the girl and make sure that everything was OK, and then let them leave, and the unrelated people in the next questioning session should not stay.

The girl is still very cooperative, especially after knowing that it was Hope who found out that she was kidnapped by the two and rescued her.

Amy Robinson is a photographer from Arizona, a border state between California and New Mexico, and she travels with her classmate Martin to Horseshoe Bend, near the border between Arizona and Utah, and photographs of the boulders.

Traveling with classmates and friends is a very normal thing for teenagers in the United States, and they have also told their families about their destinations, and for a well-known tourist destination like Horseshoe Bend, the safety is much better than that of a wild hike and the like, so their families did not stop them and did not accompany them out.

Everything was normal for the first few days of the trip, but just as they were about to return from their trip, Amy was kidnapped. For some time afterward, she was locked up in a basement and then brought here.

Hope, as the FBI agent who rescued Amy, of course, also gained Amy's favor, so he asked about this kind of thing, Jimmy listened for a while, turned around and walked out of the ward, beckoned the nurse next to him to come over, asked who the doctors and nurses who examined Amy were, and then determined the items and results of their examinations.

Sure enough, there is no accident, Amy did have abnormal sex in the recent period, and there are a lot of abrasions and restraint strangulations on her body, and the better thing is that she has obviously not been abused too much, and the time is not too long, so although her state is not very good now, she can recover as long as she simply recuperates for a period of time.

Jimmy returned to the hospital room and nodded to Hope, who put away the notepad in his hand, comforted Amy, and left the room with Jimmy.

Taking out the laptop from the car, Hope checked Amy's identity information on the spot in the hospital, and after making sure that the information she provided was correct, he looked at the time, took out his mobile phone and dialed the family phone number provided by Amy to inform her family, and they could rush to the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

After Amy's disappearance, her family was also devastated, and after searching for the missing place for nearly two weeks, they finally received a call from the FBI, learning that Amy had been rescued, and they were also very excited in Missouri, far away from Arizona, and they had been thanking Hope on the phone. Hope hung up the phone and stared at the computer screen in a daze.

The next day, agents from the St. Louis office and the Forensic Identification Section were also in place, and they took over the cabin and the car the suspect had escaped from the police, and then two agents came to the hospital to find Hope and Jimmy.

In their eyes, Hope, a senior agent from headquarters, was of course the leader of the group, so they directly approached Hope to understand the situation, and at the same time used their own computers and fingerprint equipment to collect the fingerprint information of the living suspect to determine his identity and other information.

It's not that Jimmy is robbed of their credit, but Jimmy didn't get the suspect's confession confirmed, and they didn't bring the fingerprint identification device, and it was too troublesome to take him to the police station if they wanted to use the police station, so they asked them to bring one when they called the St. Louis office.

In the case of this kind of mischief imprisonment of young girls under the St. Louis office, even though the perpetrators are not locals, they are also looking for a little presence. Hope and Jimmy can also understand this situation, so they don't interfere with each other's involvement in the case, and even leave the matter of dealing with the victim Amy's family to the St. Louis office.

As the head snakes, they borrowed some space from the police station to work without any problem, and after making sure that the suspect had no problem with the gunshot wounds, they transferred the person to the detention room inside the police station.

After the identity of the suspect was determined, many things were much easier, and the interrogation lasted only one day before Jimmy got the information they needed.

The guy who died was a native of Karin City, mixed in a gang like Hammer, and of course he wasn't a leader, just a low-level gangster, and the one who was alive was more interesting, he was from Utah, and he drove the girl all the way to send the girl over this time, and he was also a street gangster in Utah before, just taking tasks and sending people to make money.

The license plate on the car is Utah, and the license plate matches the vehicle, but the owner is not him, but another person in Utah, and this is one of the directions that Jimmy will investigate next.

In order to ensure the safety of long-distance transportation, the use of fake license plates is easy to be found by the state police on the highway, so it is better to have a normal car.

The dead thug was contacted by phone after he arrived in Karin City, because he didn't know the exact place of detention, and he had to be brought by the other party, so they came to the cabin together, locked the girl in the cabin and left, and there was water and food in advance, so there would be no problems for the time being.

Some cash was found on this guy, similar to the cash in the backpack they found before, all rolled up and tied up, and it was almost certain that they had taken the money inside, so it meant that the food and water in the bag were for the imprisoned girl, and the money in it was for the driver who sent people over.

Now around the cabin, the key to all the clues is the man who delivered food and water on a motorcycle, whether that person is the dead gangster, this is completely impossible to confirm now, he does not have any transportation in his name, and his family has notified and checked their information, and it is determined that they do not have a motorcycle at home, although Jimmy and they seriously suspect that it is him, but there is no direct evidence, so they can only be stopped.

Amy's family also arrived, they met with Amy in the hospital, and did not leave directly to return home, because Amy was a victim of this kidnapping, which was very important for the follow-up investigation and evidence, and they could only temporarily live in Karin City and wait for the FBI to investigate.

When Amy was kidnapped, she didn't recognize her captors, she was so nervous that she didn't remember what they looked like, but she remembered that she was covered with her mouth and nose covered, and she soon fell unconscious, because a long time had passed, and she could only infer that it was an intoxicating drug such as ether-like drugs.

Judging from the Horseshoe Bend where she was kidnapped and the car, she should have been kidnapped by people from the Utah side, and went directly to Utah from near the border between Arizona and Utah, and then was taken over by the people from Utah, imprisoned for a period of time and sent to Missouri, but it is impossible to deduce why she went in such a large circle.

Thinking of the fact that Hammer appeared in Utah before, and then his mobile phone number disappeared and did not appear again, this case has a lot to do with Hammer.

Jimmy and Hope discussed with the agents in the St. Louis office to sort out what they had sorted out, and then left the mess here, and the two returned to St. Louis early and flew to Salt Lake City, Utah, to continue their investigation of Hammer and find the gang's gang and the car's belonging.

Of course, the FBI's Salt Lake City, Utah office, also received Hope's request for assistance in advance, and there must be no problem with borrowing a car, but the investigation of the case of the imprisoned girl will have to wait for them to come over.

In fact, Jimmy and they have now determined two locations, one is the location where Hammer disappeared, and the other is the home address of the owner of the car, and they can investigate it themselves, but there is no way, it is still the same as the clues related to them from the head snake, and this case is going to be divided into parts.

Salt Lake City is the state capital of Utah, and the security here has always been not very good, and there is a very troublesome organization in Utah, the Mormon Church. The full name of Mormonism is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this church has a short history, it began in the early 18th century, and then moved westward again to bring its headquarters and many congregants to the Greater Salt Lake area of Utah, and is now headquartered in Salt Lake City.

One of the most famous Mormons is polygamy, which is actually practiced by only a small percentage of the church, and has been abolished in the early 20th century, but there are still some believers who adhere to this rule, and their wives are not very old, and some are still girls.

The most famous of known Mormon polygams was Warren Jeffs, who married a total of 87 wives and had 250 children during his time as a cult leader.

For Jimmy's case of incarcerated teenage girls, which is really not a particularly rare case in Utah, the Salt Lake City office has found several such cases every year before, but there is no large-scale investigation, because in the eyes of some church members, it is in line with their teachings, and the only problem is that it is not in accordance with the law.

Now Jimmy's clues are not particularly clear, because the suspect caught in Missouri only provided the contact information of an intermediary, and the phone has been turned off, which should theoretically have been destroyed.

However, given the importance of the multi-state human trafficking network at headquarters, the Salt Lake City office provided the necessary assistance, with a Salt Lake City on-call surveillance team that could support them in their investigations, but they would only need to provide complete information about their location and people before they could act.

The Salt Lake City office is much better than the St. Louis office, at least they have a good attitude.

The average altitude of Utah is more than two thousand meters, which is not a big problem for Jimmy and Hope from the eastern United States, mainly because the two have better physical fitness, especially Jimmy, who is now half a superhuman, according to his physical fitness, this high altitude basically has no effect.

Hammer's picture of Jimmy had been printed out and put in the car, and they had given it to the agents in the Salt Lake City office, hoping they would pay attention to the man.

The next step is to go to the scene to investigate, first of all, the location of the owner of the car. The location of the owner is also in Boyce City, which is the city where Hammer's mobile phone signal is lost, but the location is different.

Jimmy and Hope came to Boyce City, drove directly to the vicinity of the owner's house, and after confirming the surrounding environment, they decided to take some measures and contacted two local police officers to go to the owner's house to ask about his car, and said that the car had been involved in a car accident in the field, but the driver escaped, and they came to the door at the request of the police to check some information.

The officers came out of the house after a while, and they came to Jimmy's car: "Two detectives, he said that his car was stolen, and he had reported the theft of the car a week ago, I just checked with the police station, and he was right, there is indeed a police record of the theft of the vehicle. ”

Jimmy shook hands and thanked him, and then he and Hope stared at the owner's home from afar with binoculars.

Soon, a young man came out of the owner's house, he looked left and right at the door, and then pushed out of the garage a motorcycle and left.

It is still a very effective way to startle the snake, Jimmy smiled and started the car to follow, of course, the distance is still a little far, and it is not very close, Jimmy is very experienced in tracking the vehicle.

Soon, the other party parked the car in front of a bar, because it was daytime, the bar was not open, so there was no one at the door for the time being.

Jimmy and the others followed, and after parking the car, they looked at the door of the bar, and Hope also picked up the camera, and soon three people came out of it, one of whom made Jimmy very familiar to them, "It's Hammer, on." ”

After Jimmy finished speaking, he opened the car door directly, and Hope also put down the camera and got out of the passenger seat.

Jimmy shouted as he walked over, "FBI, Alan Hammer, stop. ”

Jimmy's words directly startled the three people, they turned their heads and saw the two agents in suits coming over, and immediately turned around and ran back to the bar, Jimmy and they also rushed over, shouting while chasing, and rushed into the bar.

The "bang, bang, bang" gunfire rang out when Jimmy rushed in, but Jimmy saw their movements in advance, so when he pushed the door in, he directly bent down and threw himself on the ground to avoid the first round of gunfire from the other party, and then pulled out Glock and shot on the spot, and after a round of magazines were empty, Hope rushed from behind, only a few seconds apart.

The person who shot just now was not Hammer, but the person who was with him, and there were three people in the bar, one was inside the bar, one was outside the bar, and the other was next to the billiard table next to it.

Jimmy: "Hope, check on these people. He got up and changed the magazine, and rushed straight towards the back door of the bar, he could see the back door and the passage in advance, and Jimmy was no slower than Hammer and the others who were familiar with the environment of the bar, and finally chased after Hammer as he rushed out the back door.

"Hammer, stop!"

It was still the bullet that answered him, but Hammer turned around and fired as he ran, completely inaccurate, Jimmy dodged to the side, aimed at Hammer's legs and fired a few shots, finally disarming him, while the other young man did not resist at all and ran all the way out.

Jimmy's target wasn't him, so he didn't shoot him in the back, he carefully leaned over and approached Hammer while shouting, kicking away the pistol that had fallen to the ground, and then successfully handcuffing Hammer.

Back in the bar, all four people here have been disarmed by Hope, they are more unfortunate, Jimmy was still too fast when he shot just now, so he didn't aim too accurately, two people were shot in the torso, and it was multiple shots, the situation was more dangerous.

Hope looked at Hammer as Jimmy dragged in, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he took out his cell phone and immediately called the FBI office in Salt Lake City to inform them of his gains, and then called the police, calling the police and ambulances to cordon off the scene and take people to the hospital.
