On the last episode of ransom, Hilton Crawford told his sons and a prison guard that a man named R.L. Remington had helped with the kidnapping.

Hilton said McKay Ebritt was either being held by Remington in New Orleans, or he was on a bus back to Houston.

Hilton said to take the Whiskey Bay exit off of the middle of the 18 mile long
