Passenger (hitchhiker), designated "John Doe #09-74," in a van/truck that rear-ended a parked semi-tractor trailer and burned. He appeared to be about 20, and told fellow travelers his first name was "Terence" (or "Terrance"), but went by the nickname "Lee". He was picked up hitch-hiking in Council Bluffs, Iowa (Herbie's 76 Truck Stop), in route to Reno, Nevada, where he said he was going to pick-up a paycheck for a dishwashing job. He stated that he was originally been from Florida, but had recently lived in Indiana. Identity may only be established with dental X-rays and DNA.
