The case I have for you today is one that I actually just found. It's a case that the police

4
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,440
are asking for the public's help in identifying a hitchhiker from West Virginia.

5
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,080
The Pennsylvania State Police in Yongentown, Pennsylvania are asking for the public's help

6
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,040
to identify a woman who died in a car crash on March 2, 1986. They believe that the woman may have

7
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,880
been a hitchhiker from North Central West Virginia. At the time of the crash, the truck driver was

8
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,120
identified. His passenger, however, has still yet to be identified. The truck driver's family

9
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,240
had no idea who the woman was. The police and family believe that the woman may have been a

10
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,640
hitchhiker. The truck crash happened 50 miles south of Yongentown, Pennsylvania, not far from the

11
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,760
West Virginia State line. Police believe that the driver was headed from Sparrows Point, Maryland

12
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:51,760
to Richmond, Kentucky, which today would be an eight hour and 12 minute drive and roughly 553 miles.

13
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,760
The driver is said to have no scheduled stops on the trip, so police wasn't sure why he was in Fayette

14
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,120
County, Pennsylvania at the time of the crash. According to records, the unidentified woman

15
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,160
was not with the truck driver when he left Sparrows Point, Maryland. The unidentified woman

16
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,840
was a passenger in the tractor trailer at the time of the crash. She had no form of identification

17
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,360
on her, leading the investigators to believe that she may have been a hitchhiker. The Pennsylvania

18
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:26,400
State Police think that she may have been between the ages of 30 and 45, with brown eyes, medium

19
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,960
length, brown hair, standing at five feet and four inches tall, weighing around 170 pounds.

20
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Records from the national missing and unidentified person system indicate that the

21
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,320
woman was dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, white sneakers, and was carrying $333 in cash with a

22
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,840
pack of Marlboro cigarettes. For any additional information, please check out the website of
