Summary
Following the discovery of surveillance equipment in Hossein Nayeri's car, detectives sought to question his wife, Courtney, suspecting her involvement. After an initial uncooperative interrogation, police strategically leveraged her family to encourage cooperation. Courtney eventually agreed to a proffer agreement, revealing the motive behind the kidnapping—a failed marijuana deal and Nayeri's belief in hidden money—and identifying the three perpetrators, including a mysterious third man. Her testimony also provided disturbing details about Michael's torture and Nayeri's cruel intentions. Ultimately, Courtney became a secret informant, risking her life to help lure Nayeri out of hiding and bring him to justice.Episode description
