THE HIGHWAY KILLER
He’s m his early twenties. His-
I initials are R.R. His full name
really doesn't matter. Although
he is still alive, he’s not much
.belter off than the lovely young
girl whose face haunts his
dreams, the girl who sat beside
him in the car that night.
It happened fast. First there
was the dance, a couple of
“harmless” highballs. Here is
R.R.’s account of the drive
home. “My foot was heavy on the gas pedal that night. A
i curve came up on us and I mis-
' judged it at high speed. I put
the brakes on too hard. We skid
ded. Then the car Somersaulted.
