One of his victims was a 14 year old runaway from Texas named Regina Walters. Walters’ remains were found in an abandoned barn in Illinois.

..yeah, it totally was but I've seen that one before so I guess it just didn't hit me as much as some of the others did...I can't imagine what it would feel like to have hit someone with a car and taken their life...how would you live with that..especially a child...


..and the Regina Walters one was extremely disturbing, the way she was backing away with her hands up in defense..
