Over the last 2 years, the FBI and local and state law enforcement agencies have met for joint case consultations, resulting in the identification of several truck driver suspects. Time lines have been compiled on 30 suspects with several more in progress. These time lines, which cover nearly the entire United States, are available to LEOs who have rape and homicide victims meeting the following description: prostitutes working from truck stops, hitchhikers, transients, stranded motorists, unidentified dead bodies, and any other victims at risk where the suspect is likely to be a long-haul truck driver.

On March 16, 1996, truck driver Chester Leroy Todd offered victim Sherri Majors a ride home from a local pool hall in Denver, Colorado. Her body was discovered the next day in an alley adjacent to railroad tracks.

Trucker Chester Leroy Todd was identified as the offender but fled when he realized there was a warrant for his arrest. Todd abandoned his tractor trailer at a truck stop in Sioux City, Iowa.

Todd is a white male, DOB 07/07/1944, 5 feet 10 inches, 200 pounds, and is known to frequent casinos and play guitar. He may try to pass himself off as a musician in clubs.
