NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Finders Keepers" - Barging In
In "Finders Keepers," the body of a diver is found in the ocean. The body is traced to a salvage barge that has a bloody handprint on it. After further investigation, it is discovered that the blood is not from the dead diver, but someone else murdered on the barge. In order to find the other vic...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--finders-keepers--barging-in
