All you gotta do is watch the hitcher “Rutger Hauer “ was an amazing psycho in the movie. Back in the 80s my mom would pick up a hitch hikers until she watched the movie. Never again.
People are hitching rides because they sometimes deserve to be on the side of the road begging for a ride. They obviously did something wrong to end up on the side of the road.. begging.
The golden rule is: everybody wants something. Ive had people pick me up that have been completely suicidal. You know how much it sucks when all you want is a ride and the driver "trauma dumps" all their problems on you? Women trying to come on to you in front of their kids, gay dudes, intoxicated drivers, the recently divorced....Ive literally had vehicles pull over to give me a ride and by the time I walked up to them I was telling them I wasnt interested and to just keep going. It doesnt go both ways, it goes every way you can think of and some you cant.
With all due respect, you sound a little ungrateful. "Trauma dumps." The person is giving you a ride - the least you can do is listen and be compassionate. Maybe you can save a life. With all due respect, its not all about what you can extract from a situation.

@@conqueringlion420 who said anything about sin? I asked why God doesn't stop all this child abuse. Are you saying that babies and children are raped, because God is punishing them? wow.
North Carolina had rape test kits sitting on the shelves for years that couldn't get processed all because the state legislature wouldn't provide the funding. Some folks don't have their priorities right.
Although a rough choice, I pick up hitch hikers if I feel I can control the situation. I’ve also hitched hiked from Ny to Cali 2 times in the 80’s. I was 17 the first time. Fresh out of school. I didn’t hurt anyone.
If I had a dollar for every hitchhiker I picked up and for every time I put my thumb up or asked the Girl I was with to put hers up I would have about $500. A person has to be careful and STOP a problem just soon as it starts. A word of advice , if you have to get a ride in a hurry and you have a Female with you just hide on the side of the road with her standing alone. Not even 3 cars will pass before you both get a ride but guy's move fast and when you jump out always wear a smile that says Thank You. Happy trails
@@miked3841I don't think the police told the whole story. The man picked up a hitchhiker and freely took him home with him or was forced to take the hitchhiker home with him and he was killed for doing a good deed. In this day and age, never pick up anybody.
@@genespell4340 So he took the hitchhiker home? Not sure I'd invite a stranger into my house but I've given many dozens of them rides before, never had any problems
Think about it. No car, no cab, Uber or Lyft money, it all means LOSER that has no friends, family or money because they burnt those bridges and nobody wants to help them. Keep driving. Do NOT stop. Period.
1988...Uber didn't exist...Lyft didn't exist...cell phones didn't exist...cabs weren't everywhere back then, and they were a LOT more expensive than Uber and Lyft are now. Hitching was a lot more common back then. I hitched a few times, and I picked people up on the way to/from work, I once picked up a woman with a baby and groceries. Things were not as easy back then, and not everyone had cars. In rural areas with no public transport, people walked miles to the grocery store and to and from work. The 'kindness of strangers' was a real thing then.
I hitched all over this country in the 70's. Had alot of cool experiences that I never would have in this town. I say be careful what you assume a hiked wants to do.
@@daynasafranek7807 They didn't say anything about exhuming a body. While DNA was in it's infancy when this happened, it has been around alot longer than 2021 when they did the test.

This a very poor reporting. Robert Hecht was seen out and about with a man he introduced as Ray. That's how the sketches were produced. Sounds like they had a gay relationship. Ray might have just been waiting for a chance to kill and rob Robert.
That's the golden rule. Never pick up anyone you don't know
I haven't even seen any hitchhikers since at least 1988.
Not sure not everyone is devious.
Yeah and never talk to strangers. Must be a lonely life you lead
....never pick up guys named Ray........
Or Roy or Leroy
Never pick up guys !!!!!
"I don't believe in closure, but it will give them some peace." I like the way this guy thinks.
Why is that? Closure is npt aj alien word...nor, does it have to be believed in or not.
Its a vocabulary word not a religuous doctrine.
When you know, you know. Guess you don't @righteousbyfaithinChrist
Disgusting, how do you keep a secret of killing someone for that many years. He was just pure evil! How did he die in 2006
He nastied away.
TRUST NO ONE
Must suck living that way

I've picked up dozens of hitchhikers. This guy got killed in his house, not in his car after picking up a hitchhiker.

Well obviously the other side of the coin is don't hitchhike

For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.

DNA testing has been around since the 90s. How did they not solve this sooner?

You might want to freshen up your knowledge of all the advances DNA testing has had since the 90s.
Dude looks creepy.
I picked up a hitchhiker once. We have now been together for 13 years

You or her wouldn't be getting in my car, hiding in the bushes? SMH

What great reporting
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office has the actual story posted on its website.
What does this have to do with hitchhikers? This guy's DNA was found in the dead man's house, he wasn't a hitchhiker.
The DNA was found in two cigarettes found in two different locations. One was in the house and the other was in the car.
@@danielebrparish4271 I fail to see the connection to the suspect being a hitchhiker

I have picked up hundreds of hitchhikers. Today? There's Not that many. In the last 5yrs: 0

I highly recommend you never pick up a hitch hiker with that attitude....
sounds like you’re a LOSER.
Dude looked terrible😢 rip
That's your problem and everybody else

Nobody has hitchhiked since the Eighties.
Who hitchhike the number one nationality that hitchhike is Caucasians ever
When was the last time anybody has even seen a hitchhiker?
@@teastrainer3604lots of hitchhikers out on the west coast, I give rides regularly
Why did you wait so long to do a DNA test?
It’s expensive… look at the cost, plus exhumation… dna was t really used back then and was in its infancy.
@@daynasafranek7807 They didn't say anything about exhuming a body. While DNA was in it's infancy when this happened, it has been around alot longer than 2021 when they did the test.

I believe peace comes through Jesus Christ alone...
Cold case is now closed... thank you Lord for allowing the answer to a mystery.
The Lord didn't do squat, it was the police that solved the mystery
Why don't you ask Christ to put an end to all this child abuse?
No... don't give people who look like him a ride. Get it right, people.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Looks to me like yall caught Joe Rogan
Or The Professional Wrestler Jake the Snake Roberts
@@LyonhartZ2 yeah - sure does
Gay
Apparently so. I think Ray was a hustler who preyed on gay men.

I ride with 3 Rottweilers in my truck ,picked up hitch hickers for over 50 years ,never had a single issue with any of them
