No. - Roy Walton's dead.

I'm going to give you a choice.
I arrest you and Hailey,

She took one in the head, one in the chest.
Offenders fled on foot, westbound.
We got a grid search going up now.
- Okay. - We have lots of witnesses.
The bus was doing its regular route, five stops.
The driver came over the intercom to say
that there was an engine malfunction,
so the driver went to the back of the bus twice
to check on it.
Back of the bus?
That's what they said. They stopped in this lot here.
Driver said everyone needed to stay in their seats
- due to the malfunction. - Yeah.
Three passengers weren't willing to do so.
Two male, Hispanic, 20s. One female, Asian.
Young, 18 or so.
- They wanted off? - Yeah.
So they came to the front of the bus, tried to get off,
the driver tried to stop them, a struggle ensued,
and one of the guys shot the driver twice.
The driver's name is Joy Cleming.
She worked for the company for six years,
and she was holding that in her hand.
Hey, bus company's here.
This is Sergeant Voight.
Hi. Martin. I'm head of security.
I understand you patched the driver's call through to 911.
That's right.
Joy asked for a detective assist.
Okay.
She was dealing with an unruly passenger.
Our intent was to have CPD meet her here at the lot.
Okay, she was holding this in her hand.
You got any idea what that might mean?
Well, that explains it.
We teach that in training.
All our drivers are trained to identify victims
of sex trafficking, offer them help.
So she moved to the back of the bus
to hand this to someone?
Two men and a young woman. It tracks.
Martin, bus has footage?
Good.
Okay, this right here is where I think
Joy passes the young woman the note.

No, just routine stuff. It's all good. I'm all right.
Transportation team got her ID off the flight manifest.
Her name is Willa Tan, 20 years old.
She flew into Midway from Sedona late last night.
Looks like she was there for the holiday weekend,
checked into one of those
massage, bath, hotel, eat, and treat places.
A spa resort.
Right. That's the name.
I spoke to the front desk manager.
Willa checked in on Thursday.
She did some massages, some studying in the lobby,
and then caught the red-eye back to Chicago.
Is she from Chicago?
She is a student at Northwestern
originally from Michigan.
I'm trying to get in touch with the family.
- Okay, what about the men? - We had less luck there.
CPIC said there was no pop on facial rec.
They weren't on the flight manifest into Chicago.
Looks like they hopped onto the bus from right outside the terminal.
She's not a typical for sex trafficking.
No, college has her in classes
as recently as last Thursday.
A lot of eyes on this girl.
We've got nothing in her financials.
I mean, if it's an escort service, it's not popping.
It's a possibility she didn't even know those men
when she sat down on the bus.
I mean, we might not even be looking at sex trafficking.
Could be an abduction, hate crime.
Yeah, I mean, all we got is Joy's account, and she's gone.

We have you on drug trafficking.
You were trafficking a mass amount of heroin into Chicago.
That's heavy jail time.

who was trying to help you.
That's felony murder.

hopped on public transport,
and we still got the fingerprints
from the motel room and the car.
They're not on record.
What about the drug trafficking angle?
Yeah, these guys,
they're inexperienced, let's just say.
The party balloons found in her stomach,
they were wrapped one time.
I mean, there's no evidence that Willa's even done
anything like this before.
There's no other trip log
to a source city in her flight history.
Thing feels small scale to the extreme.
Okay, so Willa takes a flight to Sedona.
Someone meets her there or she drives herself
to Tucson or Phoenix.
She ingests the drugs and then flies back
to avoid state interdiction teams on 80
so she's not caught driving in drugs.
And these dudes make bank.
There was nearly 50k found in Willa's belly.
So one of these guys has to have
a pretty good connection in Arizona.
Chase it.
