Agents tracked down a trucker who they believed was responsible for over 50 murders. Investigators knew they had to stop this menace of the highways.

My car broke down on a remote stretch of I-35 in Missouri. I was about 29. I had just started to hitch hike and a trucker pulled over. He got on my case saying, it wasn’t safe out there. He took me to the nearest truck stop and waited until help arrived. I’m so thankful that he was kind. Thank God and that trucker.
I had a similar experience. We were lucky. I was trying to run away from home and go back to New Orleans and my grandmother. My basketball team had played at a school near the highway. I played my game, girls go first usually, and I left while the boys played. This trucker picked me up in the dark, on the side of I-20, took the next exit to a well lighted gas station and waited for the Ouachita Parish sheriff's dept to get there. Lol, the gig was up and they took me home. Could've been so bad. I was 15.
Wow wow
I was drinking on the side of the road on I-35

When I was about 10 we lived 20 miles out of town in Idaho, the wheel to our car rolled off it was nighttime and a trucker picked the 4 of us up and took us home, I remember how super nice he was and grateful to him for getting us home safely.

He could not lay his hands on one of you
That was him!!!!
Wow really
You are whites. It would have NEVER been the same for brown skinned taxpayers, they would have been falsely accused of anything and then murdered.
How can you cut a deal for 6 yrs out in one for getting caught with someone bound in your truck and all the evidence in his apartment? People have been jailed longer for weed
he was a white male
@@pinkpugginz I think the only ones keeping racism alive are the media,politicians and those who believe their lies. They need it to keep us divided so we don't all turn on them.
Just for kicks and giggles, look up how often black men are shot by cops compared to how many white men are shot by cops then ask yourself how many news stories of a white man being shot by a cop have you seen. None, why because that doesn't sell racism. And why don't you hear on the news about all the blacks killing blacks? Because that doesn't sell racism.
Weed bad. Kidnapping not as bad. Makes sense…..
@@philstrohm4181 I guess, I was talking to a fellow that was in law enforcement. He said he was on a case where this gang banger put his kid in a pillow case and beat him up against the wall because he was crying He said he stopped when the noise stopped. The cop said you couldn't even really tell what it was when he looked in the bag that guy did about 6 years. The f***** up world we live in man. Said the only reason he got 6 years is cuz they made him a deal that if he would plead guilty he'd do less time
@@joshuathepersecuted1569 what did you do
I’m a truck driver myself and this story really makes me sick, dirt bags like Rhoads gives our industry a bad rep. Outstanding job on everyone’s end to put this sicko behind bars
I'm sorry too that people like this give truck drivers a bad reputation. 😢 Back in the day, my parents and grandparents taught us to respect truck drivers. They called truck drivers "the White Knights" of the road. On a road trip, We would always look for a restaurant that had a lot of trucks because my grandparents would always say the truckers know where the good food is.😂 I suppose these days, parking and fueling up has a lot to do with where truckers choose to stop. At any rate, I still respect the drivers, I give them their space and try to be considerate of the fact that 1) trucks don't exactly stop on a dime. 2) a car is no match for a big truck and it's just easier on everyone if you yield to an 18 wheeler! 😂
Serial killers are in all professions, not just truck driving. It is true, however, that his job made it ideal for preying on unsuspecting women.
Yeah everyone think truck drivers are rapist serial killers and it'll never end now because of American lorry drivers
I'm a trailer driver please I like to ask you few questions
Yoy are correct. I just wrote about the good experiences I've had with truckers
You hear all the time of close calls where serial killers should have been caught, but they somehow got away because the cops did something stupid… I’m glad this police officer was able to save that woman.
I was hauling 2 horses to a vet in Auburn AL from FL I was boxed in by 3 18 wheelers and and stressed by it, not to mention the two horses. I ended getting out of the situation and one of the drivers spotted me right up to when I exited the highway. He would let me pass slower drivers. It was such an awesome experience. I couldn't thank that driver enough. Most truck drivers are very considerate and kind.
Women like you should NEVER be driving.
I picked up a hitchhiker recently. He was probably about mid twenties in age. After he told me where he was headed we rode in total silence for about 5 mins. Finally he said to me, “ I can’t believe you picked me up, I could be a serial killer or something.”....... I looked him square in the eyes and with a straight face I replied, “ the chances of two serial killers being in the same car have got to be astronomical.”.......... he asked that I let him out at the next off ramp!!
Lmao
👍🏽👍🏽😂😆🤣
That's good shit lol 😂😊
Hahahahahhaha best shit i heard today 🤣😛
🤣🤣😂😂 Roght 😇
Back in the 80’s we regularly got into cars with guys who had beer & went to party with them. I can’t believe I did such stupid things, I’m lucky I didn’t run into a guy like this.
Yea 10-4
We did it in the 90s too. One night scared me straight forever. There was a few girls killed and found along the back highway. One night we were hanging out with these 2 guys. He then got upset, thinking I was staring at his glass eye. I had no idea it was a glass eye. He then said he was the one responsible for the recent killings. I ran so fast home and never got into another car with someone. I wish I would have called the police, but for some reason I didn’t think to do that. They never did find the killer.

Thats what happens when you dont lisent to Mommy

@@mallikaxavier8846 it all comes down to bad parenting
Whats concerning is all of these skeletons of young girls they keep finding...
My concern also, I wonder if any were investigated, just baffles me how many other bodies they came across, very disturbing.
@@AAr3624 Indeed. It's shocking to see. You can only imagine the heartache other families must have gone through when someone goes missing and never comes back and the case is unsolved. This despicable guy should have gotten the death penalty.
@@AAr3624 Lol, of course they were investigated. They didn't just go "ah, that's not our girl, put it back where you found it."
Most end up in the landfill.
@@David-ud9ju no.. if they don't have someone to compare the dna too.. if they're not reported missing plus it's very expensive. There's sooo many doe's
How could they search his house, find all the pictures and evidence of so many people, then allow him to do a plea deal, being eligible for parole after a year ? Astounding. But there's also nothing in this story to say there was as many as 50 murders, as claimed in the title.
Because he knew he would do shorter time with a plea deal.
The FBI believe he wad likely responsible for up to 50 or more. They know about 5 in a relatively short space of time, & he was active for years before that. Not to mention around 800 women dumped along Highways that r part of FBI HSK initiative, many of whom were on his routes & met his MO, & then there's all the pictures of mainly unidentified victims. They've found 1 alive; , but others linked to dead victims but without enough other evidence to prosecute. And luckily he's locked up for life now.
As a parent , seeing Regina’s little notebook with childish writing listing phone numbers really broke my heart. I can’t imagine how her parents felt seeing that in court. I would have lost my mind.
What broke my heart is the picture he took for her in the barn wearing the black dress and short hair you can see how terrified she was and knowing what's coming to her, that picture haunted me for a while.
Yes it is heartwrenching.. I have spent many a night at the Greenville Illinois highway 127 exit and interstate 70 ..very near to where that barn once stood...
That photo is haunting!

9 murders and 3045 sexual assaults in the US in just over a year 🤦♀️
And we use the interent to do it.
The saddest part of this is that a 14 y/o should not be leaving when she feels like it and "letting her mom know, after a few days, when she felt like coming home." A 14 y/o is a child and does not have the maturity to be on her own.
Only so much single mother working late at night can do to control their child.
Especially little sloots like Regina Kay walters
Back then 14 yrs old it was almost like an adult
@@nickthompson2023 I get the single mom thing, but I also know you can control your kids, even when you are not there. It is how you raise them, and yes, I have experience in raising good kids. Not perfect kids, but mine did not run away all of the time and tell me when they felt like coming back. If they had, they could have stayed away, no child of mine will be telling me how it works.
The demon crats want to coach kids into changing their sex before puberty!!! And no one is screaming about this. Your mass media is hiding it. Check out the Michigan attorney General who wants a drag queen in every school
A 14 year old going out at 9:30 at night is absurd.
Blame the mother not letting the father be a father.
Yep it’s ridiculous
crazy guess things were more wild in the 90s
Worse, deadly😢
Many thanks to the Arizona Highway Patrolman Officer Michael Miller for investigating why the truck was parked in a dangerous spot and found a girl handcuffed. As it turned out, the driver of that truck was the bloke they were after. Good stop, patrolman. Not only was this later determined but you also saved that girls life.

When I was 14 or 15 I took a ride from a stranger on my way home from a friend's house. It was drizzling and it was a good 3 hour walk up a mountain in a small southern town. I got into his van and immediately noticed a very strange odor, which now I'm sure came from some drug he had smoked. I tried to make small talk but he barely spoke, only asking what I was doing and where my parents were. He was behaving pretty odd, seeming really nervous and such. I got him to drop me off about 2 miles from my home because I didn't want him to know where I lived. He seemed hesitant to let me out, which was alarming, but he let me go. I'll never forget that. I thought for sure I was about to be kidnapped. Everyone knew each other in that little town, but I had no idea who that guy was, and he didn't seem local. He wasn't friendly at all which was another huge red flag. I was just a kid though, so I was stupidly naive. Dont think girls or women are the only targets for these people. They'll take boys too. I'm 32 now, and looking back on that, I count myself lucky to be here. I did have a big ass pocket knife and lots of homegrown country boy muscle back then, so he would've had a fight on his hands at least. Stay safe out there friends. Unfortunately it's safer to just say no to any courtesy these days.
@Mike Lopez Yeah, you're probably right. I mean people never fantasize about crazy shit and go to do it and abort at the last second. I'm glad you know more about shit I experienced than I do.
@Mike Lopez you are disgusting.
@Mike Lopez YEAH AND BRAID HIS HAIR TOO.THE GUY WAS A WEIRDO
Why you even want to hitch hike with a complete stranger? You're inviting trouble to yourself if you do that...
@Sadie Smiles It wouldn't surprise me. I did a lot of hitching through my teen years. Been a couple of times I thought I wasn't getting back out of the car without a fight. Even had a couple try to rob me and a friend. That ended up being pretty funny in the end though.
I really feel for the family of the 14 year old girl. We were all teenagers once. We did stupid shit. I know it was not smart to get into a truck, not knowing the driver. She probably felt safer because her boyfriend was with her. The girl and her boyfriend didn't have to die. This truck driver is really a sick piece of shit. I'm glad authorities have him in custody. I hope he rots in Hell. Prayers for all of the victims, dead or alive.
Can we take a moment to realize that a lot of these killers are caught on pure LUCK?!? This is the 4th video today where It’s been out of luck they catch these crazy mfs. Him getting caught is literally pure luck and that is SCARY!
I don't call it luck, friend, it is the justice and providence of God, in my humble opinion.
@@singmysong1167 yeah, god…. right. Just like he allowed then to get taken

Is this number from America? In America there are 950 kids ages 14 to 16 yrs old missing yearly and never found? Is it this bad in any other countries? So this is just for one 2 year gap of 14 to 16 yr olds. How can there be so many missing? This seems like something as bad as this pandemic! I wonder what the total is from ages 1 to 18? Good Lord, there must be thousands of children missing? It can't all be human trafficking? What the What is going on?
How can our leaders, let this be so NOT SPOKEN ABOUT? Then there are these sickos killing and not telling the families where the body is. Can't we torcher these men, like they did their captors and get the info out of them?
FBI how can we loose this many children?
I’m shocked the police didn’t take this girl to the hospital first. WTH! They take her to the police station first, I’m no expert but they should have gotten her medical attention first, since she was raped & beaten.
I think she wasn't badly hurt and she was coherent otherwise they will send her to the hospital first
True that cop should be out of our system immediately
This was a dramatization from the late 90s. I'm sure they really did.
Maybe they needed photos of her injuries . the hospital would have bandaged her wounds. And so the severity of her wounds would have had some time heal up. Hospitals may have kept her there for days. Defence attorneys would have seen the pictures of the healed up wounds. And claimed they were nothing. Remember defence Attorneys are on the wrong side of justice.
Cop needed to secure the scene smh
The scariest encounter I've ever had was when I was living from hotel to hotel escorting to support my horrible habits. A guy called the phone in my room and said he had been watching me 2 weeks before when he was staying there and would watch me go from room to room to buy drugs and to the desk to pay for my room each morning and to the vending machine, gas station across the way, etc. i thought it was weird ... he then told me he had his room switched to the one next to mine so he could see me better and I of course found this creepy but he said he was coming back to the hotel to get a room
And wanted a date with me and I said ok. He called me when he got there and settled and I walked to his room. I was smoking a cigarette on the way to his room and another escort at the hotel saw me and asked for a cigarette so I gave her one and continued on to his room. I got there and he was already naked except for his socks.. so I'm like ok well let's do this then and get it over with (in my head) I start .. fooling around with him.. and stood up for a second to grab a sip of my drink and he pulls a knife from under his pillow. He started speaking in another language. I backed up to the door and was wearing nothing but my bra. I said throw me my clothes and money. He said if you want them.. come and get them. My legs were like jelly. I opened the door and threw up all over the walkway. That's how scared I was. Then I took off running .. again, in nothing but my bra. I saw the escort who asked me for a cigarette hotel room coming up so I started banging on her door. Her bf answered, looked me up and down and pulled me in the room. They wrapped me in a blanket and I just fell to my knees and bawled my eyes out. Sadly, that wasn't enough to get my clean. That happened in the winter of 2015. I will have 2.5 years sober as of 1/6/22 but I only got clean bc I went to jail in 2019 And found out I was pregnant. There are days, for some reason, I still miss my old lifestyle but I love my son more than anything and i could never disappoint him! He's only 2 but still... I can't let him down. I cannot imagine how these Poor young women felt .. or maybe I can... I knew I was going to be able to run out the door and I still puked from being so scared. I can't imagine being any more frightened than I was but I imagine knowing there is no way out or away from an evil monster has to be unimaginably terrifying.

All made up to make the FBI look good.
When I was a kid I saw a link to a page that showed the last pictures taken of people before they died. Regina's pictures in the barn were in there. Her head was shaven and she had her hands up defensively. She was in a black dress with heels. I was very young, shouldn't have been looking at that kind of stuff. The pictures of her haunted me, and I've never forgotten her. The photos are some of the most terrifying images I've ever seen. RIP.

Absolutely! Same here. I feel for me it’s because So many COLD CASES are SOLVED by DNA evidence. So, sometimes 20 years later. They’re absolutely hard criminals like murderers who haven’t been caught yet, or even committed their first crime and preying on their victim rn. I think that’s a huge reason I love true crime: it makes you aware. Even the simplest or less sketchy situations, to just... knowing that gut feeling, and listening to it because anything can happen even crazy things in the blink of an eye.
statistics say every 6 seconds a woman is raped in the US how true is that I have no know Idea.
It's so unbearable that so many young people go missing every year. With all the knowledge we have at our fingertips and as mush as parents, police and others talk to young people at school and such it's just mind blowing that it's still happening. My only child passed away in 2005 at the age of 29 and it was the worst thing I'd ever gone through. But I can't imagine what it would be like not to know what happened to my child. I have a 24 year old granddaughter and I've always tried to teach her about such things. She carries pepper spray and I've taught her to always have her car keys ready to use as a weapon and to unlock her car in a hurry. You never know when someone might be ready to attack you. People need to be aware of their surroundings. I pray for all the families that have loved ones missing and for all the families who's loved ones have been murdered.
Especially in today's very rapidly declining world, people are going mad and their mentality is getting sicker and sicker, single women or at least one person in the household if they are a married couple needs to carry a firearm. There is no reason for a 20 something year old woman to be walking around without a firearm. It could be the difference between life and death, and if someone breaks into your home, you can't bring mace or a knife to a gunfight. Having a firearm allows you to walk without fear knowing you will never be sexually assaulted or have your life taken from you. As a woman I would never ever live my life without one, and everyone who doesn't have one is making themselves an unnecessary easy target.
A dear friend had left her car unlocked, 9/1/'79, Slidell LA, to buy me a get well card on her way to the hospital/icu to visit me.
She got in her car from the drug store, & a knife came up to her throat from behind her seat......
.......long story, she survived, but it was a horrible ordeal.
3 guys, @ a red-light, opened my girlfriend's door & mine as teens, were in the back seat in a flash & it was scary, tho a lesson learned & we weren't harmed luckily. A friend's brother was jerked out of his pick up, shot in the face & his truck sped off.
I've many stories in 77 yrs, my point: you cannot be too careful. Wisdom is better than wise ass, or thinking you're smarter than others.
This world has gotten to be dangerous in church, school, the store, etc., etc., etc..
The old adage 'better safe than sorry' can save your life.
There's too many technologies these days that can make your life safer.....
....or, put you in a very bad spot. How many dates on lines, for example, have ended up dead?
My deepest condolences go out to you and your family for the loss of your only child. Your granddaughter is lucky to have you in her life.

You are so right. Not only law enforcement, people online and in real life make excuses for them and are enarmored by them. They blame everyone else for theiir actions except them -all the bleeding hearts.
Completely false with plenty of evidence to back up that “small time weed dealers” get very little time & most get probation. It’s the king pins or other drugs they are caught with intent to distribute that gets them longer sentences.

My car broke down in no man’s land on the way to Atlanta GA. Being a female, alone, I was very appreciative. I started praying and stood out to flag down help. A trucker stopped and I got in. He had Christian music playing on the radio and was coming from Columbia SC, my hometown. The nicest guy ever. Took me all the way to Atlanta. Turned out he knew my Uncle who was also a truck driver. God answered my prayer. God bless this wonderful earth angel who came my way in need.

I'm not being judgemental but women need to stop getting in trucks with truck drivers they don't know.

No one should get into a vehicle with someone they do not know or weren't at least expecting. They tell us don't talk to strangers and don't take things from strangers when we're kids...then people grow up and forget that that is a life lesson not a childhood one.

How how how millions times I asks myself. Driving in a truck with a cabin?😱😱 with a stranger🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🤔🤔sorry 🙅🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️. I blame them😂😂
Why didn't the cops take the girl back to where she escaped from, the brewery /distributor where he went in to sign for a shipment of beer, and go through the records of who did the pick ups that day?
Seriously???
Pigs will be pigs. Probably had a 2 for 1 on donuts that day or something.

I had two experiences with truck drivers too. The first was in 1982-83 sometime and my step brother and I had decided to hitch hike to Sydney from the Gold Coast. We hitched to Sydney without problems, but on our return things went sour. We got picked up by a crazed trucker madman who tried to kidnap me! Along the Road a few hours into our trip, he stopped the truck and sent my brother into a service station to get chocolates and drinks. As my brother entered the store, the trucker tried to start up the truck with me in it and take off. My brother was a super fast runner and he managed to catch the truck as it was pulling out of the service station, get the passenger door open and drag me out! The truck driver screamed profanities at us but we just ran for our lives back into that service station!
The next time, we broke down on the Hume Highway out of Melbourne. A really nice truck driver helped to get us all home safe. Another motorist had stopped and offered to help but the trickiest had spotted him and pulled over also. He told the other guy to take a hike and afterwards explained to us that he thought the first motorist was a weirdo. Turns out that he was right. A week later, my friend was coming to my place late at night and as he approached the house, he heard a noise. Then, a man came running out from the backyard and he almost bumped into my friend in his haste! My friend gave chase but couldn’t catch the man. Next morning we looked all around our home to see if we could find anything. There was a man’s jumper left outside under the bushes directly beneath my daughters bedroom! My friend later told me that he recognised the man when he chased after him that night. It turned out to be the motorist who had stopped and offered to help us on the Hume Highway that fateful night. That trucker did is a huge favour by preventing me and my daughter getting in his car to call for help. As it also turned out, that weirdo followed us all the way from Seymour back to Melbourne to find out where we lived. Strange and scary true story🤷🏼♀️
OMG!!! was he ever prosecuted?
That girl that got away could have saved so many lives of she had just told the police it was him. She should have been reassured that by telling them should be safe....
The police even she said is not him, should still take him to police station and feather questioned him, because he could easily dicused himself and the police have not see the girl was disturbed?

It's very rare you see a hitchhiker on our motorway slip roads ( you can't stop for them on a motorway) and also on local roads. My heart goes out to all the families who have lost someone like this.
Kids listen to your parents. I hated having to be in by a certain time. I didn't like it when they said no you're not going out now it's too late. I did as I was told and I'm so grateful that they gave me rules that kept me safe. Parents know what's best for us even if we don't believe it at the time.
Hi Susan, I'm not gonna be a smart ass with you, I agree with what you said, a beautiful white girl had lived in the streets of the downtown area and she used to come every day to my store to buy,25c Chinese noodle I've seen some scratches on her body and used to complain to me about her encounters, I finally asked her about her parents she said they live 20 minutes away by bus and she left the parent's house because ( her bitch mother kept nagging on her to clean her room and help clean around the house and the girl's pride didn't handle her mom telling her you to live under my roof you obey my rules) LOL, isn't that pathetic.
It amazes me how kids believe themselves to be smarter than the average sensible adult! It's like, are you serious?!?!?......I've been in existence way longer than you have. But then again, I'm gonna guess that the word "rude awakening" is something that's learned, not readily received.

The smartest thing the police could have done... Especially in the time before internet... Was check his IRS records... To find out what trucking companies had he been working for

Why couldn’t they get Rickey Lee Jones DNA from his parents or sister? That’s awful they just thought he was a bad kid. Everyone deserves to be loved unconditionally
That was ion early 1990's when DNA was just beginning to be used in cases. The labs were few and case loads backed up in most jurisdictions. Not used yet for matching with parents. That came later with better DNA techniques and more labs. This serial killer probably needs many more hours of investigation along Interstate truck routes of where his time logs match possible victims pre-1990.
POLICE: "We found a young girls remains"
DETECTIVE READS AUTOPSY REPORT: "Oh good it's not Regina, it's just someone else!". like what the heck? that's how it came across

Good thing you never hopped in the car with any number of these people. It seems that the serial killer began to peak in the 60’s and 70’s as we went into the late 80’s early 90’s advancements in DNA has been, I think key to capturing these deviants and stopping others from attempting similar acts. Now that’s not to say the day of the serial killer is a thing of the past it’s more that it seems that our bigger threat now a days is the advent of the spree killer. What’s tough about that one is, there’s not a lot one can do to protect themselves against such a killer.

I believe there are way more serial killers then advertised. I see them as opportunist. With drugs and homeless so high today I can't believe serial killers aren't in the hundreds..
But drugs don’t just turn normal people into murderers out of nowhere. Nor does homelessness. I’m sure it could catalyze it if it was already probably going to happen. But I think there is no under estimation. Just think about all the technology we have like forensic genealogy.

All these things lined up so well. The cop just happened upon them and was able to easily detain him, and then the detective from the previous Texas case just so happened to read a paper and make a connection with his case. So many different things. It was aGod send that he was finally caught.
Clearly all those 50 + murdered were "return to sender" .

Why does she have to press charges? Why doesn’t the state press charges?
Correct the state should pick up the charges
Couldn't agree more!
If you don't know that answer then you must never watch these type shows. Prosecutors don't want to risk losing a case because of what is called "Double Jeopardy" when there is the possibility that more evidence could be found if they wait longer before prosecuting. IF the case is weak and they prosecute and lose the person cannot be tried a second time even if more evidence even much better evidence is discovered!
@ ha that made me chuckle
Evan Moyer, even with DNA there is no case without the victim’s cooperation because the defendant can claim the sex was consensual. DNA identifies suspects. It doesn’t convict them without the victim filing a complaint and testifying.
Wouldn’t you want to get the guys schedule and info from his trucking company as soon as you find the handcuffed woman screaming in his truck?

Imagine if that farmer hadn't looked in the loft of the barn before burning it. The cops would have came to the fire and found the skeleton. Then it would have looked like he burned it to get rid of the body.
Worse than that. If it had been burned down then the bones probably would've been covered by ashes from the barn and never found. Then he would've just been accused of the rapes and would eventually be free to start killing again.
Probably not, police are hopefully clever enough to know a credible series of events. A farmers burning down an old barn is an innocent enough action
@@MrFootballfu I looked up burning down a barn as a means of disposal, as I am a city boy and never heard of this, and it seems that it is legal after obtaining an inspection for hazardous materials and a proper permit, which would have been when the victim's remains would have been discovered. It just seemed off that the farmer just strolls out to the barn with a can of gas and a match. I think his insurance agent might have some objections. Do you know if this is really a common practice?

@@Ken_Brooks We burned down our old barn back in the 1980s.
We just called a family friend who was part of the volunteer fire department to bring a truck to stand by in case it went up too fast to control it.
