Dusty Myriah Shuck was 24 when her body was found on May 4, 2006, on the shoulder of eastbound I-70 just east of New Market, Maryland. An autopsy determined she died of stabbing and blunt force trauma. At discovery she had no shoes or identification; the only distinguishing marks were two dragon tattoos on her back with the words Gypsy Rose beneath them.

Shuck, from Silver City, New Mexico, had a history of schizophrenia and drug use and was last seen alive at a hotel in New Mexico on April 24, 2006. How she traveled more than 2,000 miles to Maryland remained unexplained, and investigators long suspected a truck driver because her body was found near a truck weigh station.

In 2022 DNA linked the murder to Garry Dean Artman, a 64-year-old Florida truck driver already serving a life sentence in Michigan for a 1996 rape and murder. Maryland charged Artman with murder and assault in Shuck’s case; while awaiting extradition he reportedly confessed in December 2023 and died in Michigan on December 28, 2023. Does anyone have information about Shuck’s last known movements or anyone who might have driven her east in late April 2006?
