Case[]
The decedent was picked up while hitchhiking in Louisiana, Kentucky by a man on the way to Houston, Texas. John Doe and the man who picked him up stopped for breakfast near Benton, Arkansas on October, 18, 1984, but it is unclear if this was the day they met or some time later. The driver began to feel tired and let the victim drive as a result. When he woke up, the cab of the vehicle was filling up with water. The driver escaped but John Doe did not.
