i barely remember it but i remember it scared me. It was about a guy (maybe a trucker) who went missing, he was seen in the woods where when approached by campers, he threw rocks at them and said something like "i'm going to jail" and then walked away with this confused look on his face.
he was heavy set and had black hair and beard, but i can't remember anything else.

Very strange case indeed. The trucker's name was Devin Williams. He drove his semi into a National Forest and acted strangely and wandered off. His remains were found not too far away from there a few years later but they weren't able to determine what he died from.

I have another question about a case on UM involving a trucker. There was this trucker who got killed at a rest stop while using a pay-phone. Do you remember that case and what the details are?

The trucker's name was Duane McCorkendale. He had stopped to use a pay phone, presumably to call his wife, and was shot in the back and killed. Some people came forward and described, I think, a brown pinto that earlier was menacing other truckers on the road and through the cb made the comment they had killed a trucker earlier. Duane left behind a wife and young twin daughters. I believe I found a webpage not too long ago that mentioned his name as still an unsolved murder. I believe it happened in Oklahoma.

rather than start a new thread on helping remember a case i figured i'd continue this one. I also am having trouble remembering the details of another missing disoriented man, i remember his wife was waiting for him and he had a huge aquarium with rare fish at home, when he was seen he was confused and kept saying "i have to get back to the fish"

His name was Craig Williamson. Him and his wife (I don't think they had been married long) raised tropical fish and I believe he left on a business trip. He didn't return home and she relentlessly searched for him. A woman reported seeing him either on a train or bus and seemed disoriented. She did eventually find him and apparently he had been robbed and beaten and had amnesia. The sad part was that after their reunion they decided to end their marriage but still remain friends.
