Several hours later, a roommate hears her daughter crying and gets up to find that Missy has been beaten to death in her own bedroom with very few clues left behind.

Edward Surratt was born into an upper income family and had all of the advantages so many others did not. After his entrepreneur father passes away he takes over the successful company and goes bankrupt within two years. He wanders around and finally settles on long haul trucking as a career. He has been indicted on or confessed to up to 20 murders between 1977 and 1978 but it is suspected he is responsible for many more. His trucking career gave him the transportation to go town to town, break into private homes, kill the men immediately and terrorize, torture and eventually murder the women. Some he left in their homes. Some he took to secluded areas and buried them. Two women he has confessed to murdering he assures detectives they are "unrecoverable.' Thank God this monster has spent and will spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. This is the LAST of the series on truck driving serial killers.

Married family man Bruce Mendenhall eventually fell into the long haul trucking industry. Unsuspecting women had no idea the plain looking monster would take their lives in such awful ways. His eventual capture and arrest by Pat Postiglione, Wunderkind Homicide and Cold Case detective from the Nashville PD is more interesting than the terrible things he did to women while trying to blame innocent men. Hear the tenacity of a team who was not going to let him continue on their watch

Being bullied as young person by school mates is never going to be enough of a reason to kill 8 women. Convicted of three murders Keith Jesperson is suspected of killing at least 5 more women. Thinking about tying victims to the back of your semi truck with a chain and dragging them behind you to scrape off their faces and finger prints as evidence is a level of evil thats hard to imagine. This is some of the stories of the Happy Face Killer.

Finally arrested in 1990 after an Arizona state trooper approached Robert Ben Rhoads 18 wheel truck on the side of the highway, the Trooper Mike Miller had no idea he was stopping one of the worst serial killers of the 20th Century. With a mobile torture and murder chamber that he also used to make a living, Rhoads was able to traverse the country appearing to be one of the hard working drivers who supply us with all that we need. His route was different. He may have been arrested for three murders but he is suspected in the deaths of upwards of 50 women.

A task force was formed in the mid 2000's to study highway deaths due to murder. It was found like quite a few of the deaths were murders and that they had signatures that could have related them. Most long haul truckers are hard working, conscientious humans who keep us in food, clothing and so many other things our society would grind to halt without. But a small number of bad people have used this career as a way to hide their terrible deeds. The Highway Serial Killer initiative has been profiled in a new book: Long Haul-Hunting the Highway Serial Killers by former Asst Director of Counterintelligence for the FBI. Hear another part of this multi-part series on the murders on our highways.
