GUILTY PA - Adult Female - White Deer Township, Union County - 7 Feb 2021 - Rebecca Landrith *arrest*

[borndem]

So this guy was a truck driver, now the receipts from different states make sense. But how did these two meet and hook up with each other? Was She hanging out at truck stops?

Sadly, we know that truck stops are places where someone can make a quick buck. It makes a lot of sense. SMH again.
But 18 freakin' shots??

 

[borndem]

After reading the MSN reports, she had receipts from Indiana and Wisconsin on her. I'm sure LE must have looked at the business name and the time/date stamps and gained camera footage from the places she received the receipts from and nailed this guy. My guess is was something from a truck stop store, where they could have checked the exterior cameras as well, and got the company name off of his truck in the parking lot.
I say this because it didn't take long to figure out who this guy was. They may have contacted the company he worked at, and having knowledge of where he was, arrested him in CT.

Odd he only traveled about 275 miles in a 4 day period, as most truckers travel about 600 miles a day. He may have gone up into New England, and was on his way back, or was waiting for a load, but that's still a long time to go such little distance.

I read where she cut all ties with her family 5 years ago. I wonder if perhaps she was suffering from some type of a mental illness, and was just roaming around the country with truck drivers?

All speculation on my part.

RIP.

Could he have been "pimping her out" at truckstops? (Yes, horrible, and the worst of thoughts. Hoping I'm wrong, wrong, wrong.) Maybe she was just getting a ride from him, and things got very bad, very quick.

I'm going to take a guess here, but this is what I think and why...
There was in one MSM report that stated she hung around the truck stop in Southington Ct. I think she met this guy there. That's where her car was towed from (not the truck stop itself, but close to it). I think she traveled with this guy, and I believe he had a certain run that took him back to/through Ct.
I think something happened where this guy lost it. Something she did/didn't do really got him ticked. There was a msm report that said he had a drop in Pa, then he traveled up to Maine. She was found Sunday morning around 7 am. I think this guy could not deliver his load in Pa. til Monday, and she wanted to get back to Ct. for whatever reason. I think she was wanting to catch a ride from another trucker, and he wasn't going to have it, so he killed her.
Whatever happened, this guy was so out of control that he either unloaded an entire magazine from a 9mm, or reloaded 3 times using a revolver, Either way, it was overkill. (no pun intended)
I can't say for sure, but she had to be with him for at least a week to travel from Ct. to Wi. and more than half way back. My guess is she traveled light and didn't own a phone. If she did, my guess is his name would have been programmed into the phone, and not written on a piece of paper that was in her pocket. Either she was wearing the same skirt she had on when she left the truck stop in Ct. (when she contacted him using the information on the piece of paper) or she had an extra pair of pants that she transferred everything out of the pockets when she changed.
Again, all a guess.

Makes a lot of sense to me, @Rocky1.
For whatever reason she slipped or fell out of modeling (age, weight, drugs, bad boyfriend, something), probably took some crummy then crummier jobs, and then just started walking, poor soul.
She had to be traveling with someone, seems to me, as you said. Before that, she somehow wound up by herself, had nothing, so she did what she could do. How miserable and so very sad.

 

[Susikatze]

Just a guess... very sensitive topic... on one of her websites she said quite nasty things about African Americans and Muslims... along the lines of: "Blacks and Muslims should not contact her"...
Well, the perp was black. Maybe he picked her up, thinking she was an escort and she may not have agreed to sleeping with him and maybe said something that upset him... that overkill seems very emotional to me. Or drugs.

Just an idea, i may be totally off, especially since she apparently traveled with him for a week...

 

[Susikatze]

Nowadays, there are even older models. But modeling in itself for many is not a career that would put bread and butter on the table. She had a fulltime job as a receptionist in a law office but lost it over the pee affair. What she did after that,nobody seems to know.

That's good news indeed. Who knows, perhaps the police arrested a serial killer.

Trucker accused of killing model competent for trial

 

[MajorHoople]

Before we noticed, Tracey Ray Rollins has pled guilty to the murder of Rebecca Landrith and has already been sentenced. Below, I've listed some of the news articles:

DA objects after trucker charged with killing model along I-80 in Pa. tries to avoid jury trial

Tracy Rollins is accused of shooting Rebecca Landrith multiple times in his rig and leaving her body at an I-80 interchange in western Union County.

PennLive - Jul. 08, 2022 by By John Beauge

"LEWISBURG-The truck driver accused of killing a New York City model and leaving her body at an Interstate 80 interchange in Union County wants a judge to decide his guilt or innocence, but the district attorney said no way.

District Attorney D. Peter Johnson also opposes any delays in jury selection for Tracy Ray Rollins Jr., which was expected to start next week. Rollins is accused of killing Rebecca Landrith, 47, in the back of his rig."

"A court document previously filed against Rollins provided the following information:

Landrith was shot 26 times in the sleeper portion of Rollins’ truck, based on the recovery of spent shells and biological material found there. Officials used her fingerprints to identify her because she did not have any identification on her."

Trucker admits shooting model 20 times after she was killed along I-80: DA

The plea agreement for Tracy Rolllins Jr. called for an aggregate prison sentence of 40 to 80 years.

"LEWISBURG – A Texas truck driver fired at least 20 bullets into the body of New York City model after he killed her along Interstate 80 in western Union County in 2021.

That was revealed Wednesday by District Attorney D. Peter Johnson when Tracy Ray Rollins Jr., 30, of Dallas, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and 20 counts of abuse of corpse.

Under terms of a plea agreement, Rollins will be sentenced to 20 to 40 years on the homicide count and a consecutive sentence of the same length on the abuse of corpse counts for a total of 40 to 80 years.

Sentencing will occur following the preparation of a pre-sentence report. Rollins remains jailed without bail."

Trucker who killed model along I-80 in Pa. gets 40 to 80 years behind bars

Tracy Rollins had pleaded guilty in September to third-degree murder and abuse of corpse charges.

"LEWISBURG – The Texas truck driver who admitted killing a New York City model and leaving her body in the snow along Interstate 80 in western Union County has been sentenced to 40 to 80 years in state prison.

The sentence handed down Monday by Snyder-Union County Judge Michael H. Sholley on Tracy Ray Rollins Jr., 30, of Dallas, was in accordance with a plea agreement.

Rollins had pleaded guilty in September to third-degree murder and 20 counts of abuse of corpse in the death of Rebecca Landrith, 47.

In accordance with the plea agreement, he received consecutive 20- to 40-year terms on the homicide and 1 to 2 years each of the abuse of corpse counts.

Sholley recommended Rollins not be paroled after he serves his minimum.

Rollins chose not to say anything but chief public defender Brian Ulmer noted his client accepted responsibility for the death of Landrith, a professional model and an accomplished violinist.

She was shot 26 times and her body was left in a snowbank at the Mile Run interchange of I-80 where it was found by a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation worker on Feb. 7, 2021."

"Rollins had been charged with an open count of homicide that included first-degree murder but the family agreed with the plea agreement, he said.
Three of Landrith’s siblings and her mother described the impact her death has had on them and the family.

A nine-minute memorial video that contained still pictures of Landrith from infant to adult was played.

George Landrith III told Sholley that Rollins brutally murdered his youngest sister and discarded her like trash in a snowbank. He expressed gratitude for those who “obtained justice for Becky.

Sometimes she was too kind and was taken advantage of, her mother Patricia McGinnis said in her remarks.

“You can’t replace a child,” she said, echoing her son in saying she was brutally murdered and “discarded like a piece of garbage.”

There is no closure but “I have peace in that when I die I know I will see Rebecca again,” she said."

"Rollins never said in any court proceeding why he killed the woman who had been traveling with him.

Based on the recovery of spent shells and biological material it was determined the murder scene was the sleeper portion of Rollins’ truck."
