I do not know where he was from or where he was going. As I mentioned in an earlier post, there were a lot of leads and possibilities, placing him at various different states. I have a feeling that he was pretty much a drifter with no exact destination or schedule to keep.suzannec4444 said:Hi
He was hitchhiking away from the concert?and away from Virginia?So he might not have been from virginia?Richard,Trying2id where do you think he was from?Maybe he was reported missing later after he died.When someone did not hear from him in awhile. suzanne
He was not following the Grateful Dead, as they had headed north to Michigan and then to Pittsburg. The hitch hiker was headed south the entire length of Virginia, but stayed with the driver when he turned west toward north central North Carolina and then South Carolina. So he was probably not going to Georgia or Florida. If that were the case, his better bet would have been to head further south on I-95.
In the course of posting his case and contacting people all over the country about him, I also learned of other people who were looking for relatives or friends who were "deadheads" and who were missing. At least, they were missing from home. It makes you wonder. If a person lives a life of travel and does not keep in touch with his/her family, the tendancy of the family to begin a search for him/her might lessen after a while.
