So I was there to explain this new agency and how we can work together and collaborate. I remember getting an emergency phone call from Washington, D.C. John Morton, who was the director at the time, but it was actually his deputy, Adultery called me, and says, hey, you're in Dallas. You need to get down to Victoria, Texas right away.

There's a tragedy down there, and we want you to go down there and take over the investigation. Because they knew, at the time I was assigned to headquarters, they knew I spent most of my career, as I said, in enemy smuggling and trafficking cases. So they flew me down there in an Air Marine plane, and I landed down at the crime scene.

When I got there, the sheriff, and I think it was a Texas Ranger, walked me through the crime scene, and said, okay, it's yours. So I remember walking up to the, there's a tractor trailer, and there's 19 people baked to death in back of that tractor trailer. 19 people? Baked to death, died. Baked? Baked. He just... They're in a steel box, tractor trailer.

Steel box, black, no air, in the middle of summer. And so I get up at the crime scene. I walk up to the crime scene right away. There's just a trailer there. The truck's gone. He unhooked it and he left, the driver. So I walk up to the crime scene. And all I have is a suit. I'm wearing a suit because I was giving a speech. I left. I didn't get back to the hotel and get my stuff.

I went straight to the scene. So I get there, and I walk up to this tractor trailer. Right away, I see several bodies on the ground because when those doors finally opened up, the people were in such a rush to get air that they knocked some dead bodies out of the truck onto the ground. So I noticed some dead bodies on the ground there.

Then I got to the back of the tractor trailer, and I looked in the back of the tractor trailer. I just see... Bed people. Most of them in their underwear because they were trying to get some relief from the searing heat. And right away, so I looked and I keyed on a little boy. And he was partially covered up by who later found out was his father who was protecting him. And I keyed in on him.

So I took over the investigation. Just in time, Houston flew in, and the helicopter came to the crime scene. But I was processing the crime scene. We had a guy taking pictures.
