trucker Gary Farmer, from Springfield, Tennessee, at the Pilot Truck Stop in Bloomsbury, New Jersey, not far from the I-78. According to Fautenberry, Farmer supposedly made unwanted sexual advances on him, because of which he killed him in retaliation, robbing Farmer of a knife, watch and $40, before leaving his body in the truck's sleeping compartment. Farmer's body was found on February 5 and remained unidentified for a few days, and after his identity was recovered, authorities released a sketch of a man wanted for questioning in his death. According to his employers, CPA America, Farmer was on a cross-country route bound for Hunterdon County at the time of his death. At the time of the murder, Fautenberry was travelling towards Zion, Illinois, and had stopped at the truck stop to have breakfast. Sixteen days later, 45-year-old Joseph Daron, Jr., a divorced father and data supervisor at the Community Mutual Blue Cross & Shield, went missing from his Miami Township home in Ohio, after dropping off his two daughters at their mothers' home in Union Township. Two days after, a co-worker filed a missing persons report. After some time passed, Daron still hadn't been located, but, strangely enough, his white 1988 Subaru had been spotted in Portland, Oregon and Idaho, in addition to that his credit cards had been used a total of 25 times by none other than Fautenberry himself. On March 20, a motorist pulled off the road near River Downs in Anderson Township, finding the body of a man. Judging by the man's clothing and physical description, it was quickly concluded that the deceased was Joseph Daron. Posing as a hitchhiker, Fautenberry was picked up by the good-natured Daron, proceeding to kill and rob him afterwards. Using Daron's car, Fautenberry criss-crossed through several states before finding himself at a party in Portland on February 23, where he met 32-year-old local bank teller Christine Anne Guthrie. She agreed to accompany John to the coastal Silver Sands Motel in Rockaway Beach, where the pair were seen by hotel owner Anna Modrell. Following their meet-up, Guthrie vanished, with her body found on April 1 near the remote logging community of Timber. She had died from gunshot wounds to the head. From there, Fautenberry drove to the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, abandoning Daron's car at the parking lot. He bought a one-way ticket to Juneau, Alaska, arriving there on March 2 or
