The county sheriff contacts Richard Verner saying "one hell of a problem [was] dumped in [his] lap" and he needed help to solve it. A car spinning on ice on a curve fell into a ravine, the three passengers found dead in the vehicle. The problem was that all three men were dead from gunshot wounds. Even worse, they were FBI agents.
