Trusting their instincts, officers conducted a search of the vehicle, suspecting something wasn't right, and they were spot on. Shortly into the search, they found a mysterious pill. But while Juliana was being questioned about it, another officer uncovered something even more shocking. What do you see that's bringing you? So, you got the driver right there.
