The victim was a hitchiker who was picked up hitchhiking near Boise, Idaho. He was headed for Pendleton, Oregon, but when the driver said he was going to Alaska, the hitchhiker asked if he could go along. Shortly after entering Alaska, the driver decided that the hitchhiker was getting on his nerves, so he killed him and left his body near the side of the highway. The killer confessed to the crime and was sent to prison, where he died in 2003. The killer said he had seen the hitchhiker's Oregon driver's license and said his name might have been Jack or John. He also described the hitchhiker as 32 years old, having long curly hair, and was missing his left eye as a result of a logging accident. During the journey, the hitchhiker told the driver that at some point he worked in either Colorado or Utah washing cars for a Lincoln Auto Dealership.
