On the morning of April 28, 1979, 23-year-old Terry Lee Chasteen stopped on the shoulder of Interstate 465 in Indianapolis after a man in a truck signaled there was a problem with one of her tires. The man, later identified as Steven Timothy Judy, removed a coil wire from her engine and offered Chasteen and her three children a ride. He drove them to a secluded spot near White Lick Creek in Morgan County, Indiana, where he bound and sexually assaulted Chasteen and strangled her to death.

Judy then drowned the three children — five-year-old Misty Ann Zollers, four-year-old Stephen Michael Chasteen, and two-year-old Mark Louis Chasteen — in the creek. Mushroom hunters found the bodies later that same day near Mooresville, and witnesses who had seen a distinctive construction-style truck on the highway led police to Judy. He was arrested within days, eventually confessed, was convicted of four counts of murder in February 1980, and later sentenced to death.

Are there readers who remember seeing a construction-style truck on I-465 that morning or who have any other information about the highway stop?
