Douglas Scott Zyskowski was a 26-year-old newlywed from Seattle who disappeared with his wife, Patricia Walsh, while hitchhiking across the country after attending a religious workshop in November 1989. The couple had been traveling to preach and were reported missing after family members could not contact them.

On January 21, 1990, a white male later identified as Douglas was found shot to death near Interstate 10 in Sutton County, Texas, about 30 miles east of Ozona; his remains were not identified until May 1992. Patricia’s remains were discovered in October 1990 in Millard County, Utah; investigators determined she had been held captive and tortured before being shot multiple times in the head, and her remains were identified in 2003.

Authorities have linked the deaths to a long-haul truck driver who was arrested in April 1990 after a trooper found a woman chained and being tortured in a truck sleeper, and evidence tied that trucker to items belonging to Patricia Walsh.

Did anyone who traveled Interstate 10 or sheltered hitchhikers in late 1989 recall seeing Douglas and Patricia during that trip?
