Eric Allen Roettger, 17, was found dead May 7, 1985, in rural Preble County, Ohio, east of Lewisburg. His shirtless body was discovered near a stream with rope marks consistent with strangulation and an apparent burn mark on his left shoulder. Roettger had planned to attend summer job interviews that day but never arrived; witnesses saw him at a bus stop in the early morning and reported he accepted a ride from a passing car instead of waiting for the bus.

Investigators later linked Roettger’s killing to the series attributed to the I-70 Strangler, an unidentified perpetrator believed responsible for a string of strangulation deaths of young boys and men found near Interstate 70 between 1980 and 1991. No arrests were made in Roettger’s death.

Does anyone have information about Roettger’s last known movements or the vehicle that picked him up that morning?
