There’s an Iowa connection to the weekend deaths of 10 people in a human trafficking case in Texas.
Nine people were found dead in a tractor-trailer in a Walmart parking lot in San Antonio on Sunday, and another died later. The tractor-trailer had Iowa license plates which are registered to Pyle Transportation, a trucking company based in Schaller.
Thirty others were said to be alive, but suffering from heat-related conditions. The truck reportedly didn’t have a functioning air conditioning system and temperatures were over 100 degrees. The truck driver was arrested.
