On the night of February 1, 1993, motorists on State Route 24 (SR 24) east of Yakima, Washington, saw a man wandering on the highway near Rivard Road in the town of Moxee. They turned to warn other drivers after passing him, but when they returned they found the man had been struck by another vehicle which had left the scene; he was quickly pronounced dead. He was not identified as David Glenn Lewis for another 11 years, after a police officer discovered a photograph of his distinctive glasses in an online missing-persons report.How and why the 39-year-old Lewis traveled 1,606 mi (2,585 km) from his home near Amarillo, Texas, where he was last confirmed to have been seen three days earlier, to Central Washington, is not known. He had no known connections to that area. A former judge teaching a class in government and working in private practice, Lewis had remained in Amarillo over the previous weekend so he could watch Super Bowl XXVII while his wife and daughter went shopping in Dallas. At the time of his death he was wearing military-style camouflage fatigues and work boots, clothing his family did not recognize as his. The cause of death was found to have been injuries from being struck by a vehicle, but neither that vehicle nor its driver have ever been identified. As a result it is not known whether foul play was involved.
