Ricky Lee Jones was an 18-year-old from Pasadena, Texas, who disappeared in the spring of 1990 after running away. He was picked up as a hitchhiker by truck driver Robert Ben Rhoades.

Rhoades was arrested in April 1990 in Arizona after a woman was found being tortured in his truck’s sleeper compartment. Evidence from his Houston apartment later linked him to the deaths of Jones and 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters, who had been traveling with Jones. Rhoades was convicted of first-degree murder in 1994 and sentenced to life without parole.
