MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The FBI is asking for the public’s assistance in seeking potential victims and additional information about two over the road truck drivers who kidnap females and demand ransom of the females for their release.
Brian T. Summerson, 25, of Dillon, South Carolina, was arrested in Daytona Beach, Florida, for Battery Cause Bodily Harm, False Imprisonment, and Tampering with a Witness Calling 911. Summerson is an over the road trucker with a primary route of I-95 from New Jersey to Miami, as well as Chicago, Illinois, and Kansas City, Missouri. When meeting potential victims, he had told them his name is Von or Vaughn.
Pierre L. Washington, 35, of Chicago, Illinois, owns a trucking company, God Got Me LLC. Washington is also an over the road trucker, but at this time, his routes are unknown. Washington was arrested in Chicago, Illinois, in March 2021 by the FBI in reference to an ongoing investigation.
According to the FBI, the ongoing investigation has revealed photographs, videos and text communications of additional women on Summerson’s electronic devices and electronic accounts.
