So basically,the two guys owned a business,they had the murderer as a driver for their trucking business. They sent him out on a run. If it’s the typical story,they had him out of state for over two weeks. When he came back from the trip,they didn’t pay up and closed shop. When they reopened in the new office(two-three weeks before the murder) the other person involved was probably a friend or past coworker and told them they were up and running again and let them know their location. And he did his thing. You can’t mess with peoples time and money like that. I don’t condone this but I understand why everything played out the way it did. I already had the case figured out the second the story came out. The typical Indian/Hindu trucking business owner screws over his employees. Happened to my father plenty of times back in the 08 recession.
