Twenty-four years ago, Rusty Aurand was struck and killed on a Mechanicsburg road. Nearly two and a half decades later, his killer remains unknown.
Mechanicsburg Police Department Chief of Police Margret Myers has been with the department since 1984. She was working as a patrol officer on Oct. 31, 1999, the night Rusty died.
Police took written statements from the witness, but Rusty's girlfriend helped provide some insight into Rusty's last moments. "Rusty was intoxicated, there was no question about it, apparently heavily intoxicated," Myers told FOX43." had been drinking, but she saw it happen. I'm sure that sobered her up fast."
Police combed the area for the vehicle, based on the description provided by the two witnesses and Rusty's girlfriend but couldn't find anything matching the vehicle. Back at the scene, officers, including Myers, were door-knocking houses with their lights on for additional witnesses. It was a lead investigators felt they could work with, at least narrowing down the list of potential vehicles involved. However, it didn't prove as helpful as it seemed on paper.
