The Highway Hunter: Tracking the I-70 Killer (part 1)

“He didn’t run. He didn’t panic. He just walked away… like he’d done this before.”

He didn’t leave calling cards.

No dramatic symbols, no cryptic notes, no demands.

He didn’t stalk his victims, not in any way that left a digital trail.

And if anyone saw him at all, he barely made a dent in their memory—just a quiet, white man, average height, maybe in his late 20s or early 30s. Not handsome. Not ugly. Not anything that stuck.

But by the time he killed Nancy Kitzmiller in St. Charles, Missouri, he had already left four people dead across two states in less than a month. And nobody even knew his name.

And these weren’t chaotic scenes.

There were no shattered glass displays, no security alarms, no frantic 911 calls from survivors. Just small businesses. Solitary clerks. One shot. No witnesses. No getaway car burning rubber out of the lot.

He didn’t flee—he left.

Police initially wavered—was this robbery gone wrong? Random violence? But if it was about money, he was really bad at it. The cash drawers were always opened but barely touched. Expensive merchandise? Untouched.

This wasn’t a man who wanted to take something.

This was a man who wanted to do something. Something awful. Something final.

Listen in for all the details on this chilling case, one unlike any Crime Clueless has ever covered.
