The victim was a white male, 32 years of age at time of his death. The victim was a Canadian citizen who left Canada without advance notice to family or friends.He flew to Washington D.C. From Seattle Washington on 07-10-1996. He rented a vehicle and drove to Knoxville. He stopped at the BP station on Strawpiains Pike and locked himself out of the rental car and was unable to find the keys. He called a tow truck and made arrangements to have the car towed until the next day when the rental company could be contacted to get the key number to have a new key made. The tow-truck driver dropped him off at the Fairfield inn motel to stay the night. The victim rented a room but, it is believed that he never entered the room.The next morning on 07-11-1996, he was found dead.
