Truck Driver Vanished in 1992 — 20 Years Later, Divers Make a Chilling Discovery…
In 1992, Dale Hoffman sat in his Peterbilt idling at the Texaco off Route 287, eighteen-wheeler loaded with machine parts bound for Dallas. Twenty minutes later, he climbed back into his cab, pulled out of the lot, and vanished. No accident. No wreckage. No body.
The insurance company paid out $700,000 after eight months of searching. His wife Linda was told he'd probably run off to start a new life. Small town gossip said there was another woman. His daughter Emma grew up believing her father abandoned them.
Then in October 2012, Garrison Quarry started draining for industrial expansion. Thirty feet down in the murk, construction crews found a 1987 Peterbilt perfectly preserved in the airless water, Dale still strapped in the driver's seat.
The medical examiner found the bullet hole almost by accident — small caliber, back of the skull, hidden under twenty years of silt. But it was the receipt in Dale's jacket that changed everything: two coffees, two
sandwiches, timestamped 11:47 PM.
Dale never bought two of anything. Someone else had been in that truck.
Someone who knew exactly which quarry hadn't been used since 1978. Someone who could wait twenty years for their perfect crime to surface.See more 👇 👇
