    SOUNDS LIKE MELISSA "MISSY TAYLOR" ELLISON KNEW HER KILLER

    A beautiful young wife and mother celebrates her last Christmas in 1987 without knowing it will be the last. Her 13 month old daughter is home with her, she talks to her mother on the phone, says she has a headache and will turn in soon. 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. And the clues that are there were mishandled with the entire investigation being botched from the beginning. Project Cold Case of Jacksonville, Florida has done GREAT work and research with Missy's case.

    SOUNDS LIKE MICHELLE VANEK IS BEING FOUND

    What happened when a fit, young mother of four kids, a marathon runner no less, goes on her first 14 thousand foot peak hike with a very experienced friend? We may never know for sure but we are closer than ever to finding out. Michelle was exhausted and out of water. She told her friend she was going to stop and wait for him to go on and get her on his way back down. 400 yards away from the peak she rested on a rock insisting her companion go on and finish the hike, his 39th out of 53 of Colorados 14K feet peaks. He spent a few minutes at the top confirmed by time stamped pictures and other witnesses. When he heads back down, Michelle is gone. Recently, a team of all female search and rescue hikers have found more items of Michelles. Here the story here.

    SOUNDS LIKE EDWARD SURRATT IS THE WORST OF THE WORST

    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.

    SOUNDS LIKE BRUCE MENDENHALL LEFT A TRAIL OF BLOOD

    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.

    SOUNDS LIKE ROBERT BEN RHOADS GIVES TRUCKERS THE WORST NAME

    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.

    SOUNDS LIKE FRANK FIGLIUZZI HAS THE NUMBER OF SERIAL KILLER TRUCKERS

    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.
