Like Patricia, Regina was supposedly kept for many days where he sexually assaulted her before killing her and dumping the body in Illinois, later found by a farmer. The boyfriend was killed right away his body was found in Mississippi in 1991 and identified in 2008. While Patricia’s body was found in October 1990, it wasn’t until 2003 that dental records led to her identification.Ībout a month later, Robert picked up a runaway couple, 14-year-old Regina Walters and her boyfriend, Ricky Lee Jones, in Texas. Douglas’ remains were found in Sutton County, Texas. Robert then killed Patricia and dumped her body in Utah. After killing Douglas, Robert helped Patricia for many days, torturing and raping her. The Washington couple were hitchhiking in Texas when he picked them up in January 1990. Robert’s first known victims were 24-year-old Patricia Walsh and her husband, 28-year-old Douglas Zyskowski. Realizing there might be more he possibly harmed, the police got to work. A search of Robert’s cab also revealed a briefcase with items of torture that he used on his victims.

However, she ended up not pressing charges. Just months prior, the authorities learned that Robert was detained for a potential kidnapping when a woman escaped from his clutches and went to the police. The woman later said that he picked her up from a truck stop near Phoenix, Arizona, and then shackled her while she was asleep. Soon, Robert was arrested for kidnapping. Not convinced, Mike handcuffed Robert and put him in the patrol car before returning to the woman. He claimed that what was happening was consensual. At the same time, he came across Robert, the driver of the truck. Mike noticed a naked woman bound in the sleeping cab. Mike went to check and maybe offer help, but inside, he saw a disturbing scene. On April 1, 1990, an Arizona police officer, Mike Miller, noticed a truck parked by the side of the road with the hazard lights on.

Later on, Robert worked different jobs at supermarkets, restaurants, and warehouses before becoming a long-haul truck driver traveling all over the country. After a stint with the Marine Corps after high school, he tried attending college before dropping out.
