Driver from Alaska - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

CODIS · 02-23-2006, 02:46 PM

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has information on a case that UM profiled where a male college student was driving from Alaska to one of the Continential US states and I believe he was found murdered. I think the story mentioned that someone in his car with his wallet had spent the night at a persons home in Canada. Can someone help? It wasn't the story that the TV movie "Into Thin Air" is based on. Am I crazy or was this an actual segement?

Any info would help, thanx.

Lifetime just aired this segment/episode last week actually. There was not update on that and they only had a composite sketch of the guy. If you ask me he looked oddly like Horatio Sanz from SNL.

there was no update, so i am assuming the fat dumpy guy is still on the loose.

The murdered college student's name was Philip Frazier. I couldn't find anything about him on the net so its hard to tell if anyone has ever been arrested.

I'm still laughing at the Horatio Sanz comment...

IMO, that was one of the saddest cases of all. If the UM depiction was accurate, Philip Frazier actually drove away briefly before having a change of heart and stopping to pick up the creep. Lousy handicapping. It costs me cash but it cost him his life.

Yeah, that WAS pretty bad. Hopefully, that was UM exercising a little bit of creative license and presenting the audience with some irony.

Yeah that was a creepy and sad case, What a scumbag that guy was. I felt so sorry for the mother when they interviewed her at the end. Another case that probably will remain unsolved.

I thought I saw a different spelling of the last name, probably "Fraser." Maybe that could help you find new info. I'm still wondering how some of these killers slip through the cracks!

From what I could tell, it almost looked like the murderer forced his way into the car, but I might have just been seeing things. Definitely a tragic case.

UMfan77 · 06-14-2006, 09:38 AM

The scene that freaked me out was when the murderer went to that little diner, and the mother and daughter that ran the diner felt uneasy around him. The daughter had commented that Philip Fraser would regret picking the guy up. Does anyone remember that?

Yeah. The whole case was creepy and sad.
