In tonight’s FBI: Most Wanted, there was a home invasion. The victims were sleeping when someone pulled up to their home. They broke in and they beat the father because they wanted his stash. They believed he was a drug dealer. His name was Emanuel Birdsong. He does have a history with selling drugs.
He and his girlfriend have been struggling with money. They have a little boy named Dash. They maxed out some cards to get Dash the bicycle he always wanted. They couldn’t pay all of their bills that month and then two men in masks break into their home. They tortured Manny in front of his family. They dragged him out of the house and his girlfriend immediately went into hiding with the boy.
The body of Emanuel Birdsong was later found dumped in a swamp in Bell Creek, Virginia. The swamp has been used as dumping ground quite frequently. They found two other bodies in that swamp in the past few months and the state cops believe there was a possible serial killer involved.
The feds were brought in to investigate those. Remy and his team caught the case. They knew they had to talk to Manny’s family and unfortunately he lived in an old sundown town. Those people were burning crosses well into the seventies. Ray’s father warned him about that place.
Both Ray and Barnes are black. Manny was also black. The team had to genuinely questioned if that could be a motive for why Manny was killed and so finding his family was important.
They found Joellen at her sister’s place. She was hiding there with the boy. She also tried to run when she found out cops were asking her family about her. Ray had to show her his badge to get her to talk to them. Joellen eventually admitted what happened with the home invasion and how she was trying to stay safe with her little boy.
What Joellen didn’t tell them was why she was afraid of the cops. She either knew or suspected that the cops killed her baby daddy. The victims that were dumped in the swamp were all tased to death. The one person in town that was buying taser cartridges in bulk was Eli Nelson.
She was a Deputy in the local Sheriff’s office. He worked under Sheriff Blake and Blake did everything he could to defend one of his own. He refused to believe his men were killing people. He claimed that porch privates could be stealing packages from Nelson and that’s why he kept ordering more.
The whole office was dirty. Thankfully, the feds don’t have to work with them. Remy cleared it with Isobel and the feds were higher in the chain of command than the local sheriff’s office. Remy told the District Attorney that they were running point on the case. Their victim had been taken across state lines. It meant it
was federal. It also meant he didn’t have to work with the dirty cops. Something that ticked off the locals. The Sheriff himself later pulled over Ray. Ray was in the car with Barnes.
They knew that those white cops were trying to intimidate them. Barnes tried to deescalate. It didn’t go well. It ended with Barnes and Ray getting arrested. After Ray was tased to the point of near death, but the Sheriff made his point. They were in his county. He could do whatever he wants with them.
Their town used to be known as the meth capital of the Eastern coast. Sheriff Blake cut that off by ninety percent. The District Attorney was happy with him. She couldn’t see how he was killing everyone that wouldn’t fall in line.
Most of the victims were black. They weren’t all killed. They roughed up and sent back out once they learned their lesson too. There had been one person that tried to complain to the Sheriff. They disappeared right after they did that. Sheriff Blake has a photo in his office with him and his men.
He said it happened after someone they arrested was killed by the electric chair. Only Remy was a history buff. He knew the state has never sentenced someone to death much less electrified them. Remy also learned that the town calls the Sheriff’s office the “Electric Company”.
The dirty cops were the electric chair. Its why they kill their victims that way. They also framed an innocent man for Manny’s death. They planted a bunch of evidence on an innocent black man. The man’s son tried cooperating with the feds and he was later killed by a car bomb.
The Sheriff thought he could do whatever he wanted. Even killed a protected informant. He tried to take over the car bomb case as well and Remy once again called him out for what he was. He called him a racist pig. It didn’t matter that Ray or Barnes got released after they were identified as federal agents.
Sheriff Blake made sure to give his lesson to the two black federal agents. He did that because he doesn’t them as people. Which was why his whole office was like that. The feds had enough evidence to arrest one of the deputies. They cornered him in his car and he killed himself rather than get arrested.
They tracked down the other deputies. Eli and another deputy were hold up at his father’s house. They barricaded the windows. Eli was even willing to kill his own father because his father was trying to leave. And Eli thought they would be killed if they didn’t have hostages.
Eli had to make a choice. Kill his father or turn himself in. He saw that it was best to turn himself in. The deputies surrendered to the feds and Sheriff Blake was later arrested too.
The District Attorney was cutting all ties with him. And every case that came out of that house was to be reopened until a proper investigation could be carried out.
They also released the man that was framed for Manny’s murder.
But Remy was less worried about his team than he was about his long-distance girlfriend. She was in town for a case and Remy sorta asked her to move in with him only she turned him down.
She lives a few states over. She doesn’t want to miss out on clients or time with friends and family. She likes Remy. May even love him and so the two aren’t breaking up. They were just going to stay long-distance.
THE END!
