Joseph Johnson, 26, was found dead in the predawn hours of July 26, 2015, on a desolate stretch of Alabama Highway 14 West near the intersection of Dallas County Road 209. The night before he had borrowed his father’s truck to visit a friend in Selma; the three had spent time at Roger’s Lounge. An argument between the friend and his girlfriend led to the girlfriend being dropped off at Gabe’s Store. Johnson had been asleep in the vehicle, woke up shortly before they reached the friend’s home, and insisted on going back to find the girlfriend. He never returned alive.

A passing motorist discovered Johnson’s body around 2:30 a.m. Alabama State Troopers initially believed he may have been under the influence of alcohol and fallen asleep on the unlit roadway, resulting in a fatal hit-and-run. Investigators have not identified a suspect vehicle and the driver has not come forward, leaving the case unsolved.

Are there any witnesses or local drivers who remember seeing someone on that stretch of Highway 14 the night of July 25–26, 2015?
