Man gives hitchhiker a lift home-and is shocked by the news the next day

 On Carter's drive back, his mind was full of thoughts of the girl. Somehow she had left an impression on him that he couldn't shake. No matter how hard he tried to focus on the road, he couldn't get her out of his head, couldn't push the feeling away.Hoping to distract himself, he turned on the radio, hoping some music would calm his racing thoughts. But unfortunately, instead of a song, a news broadcast was playing. "Police are looking for..." the announcer began, but Carter quickly changed the channel, annoyed by the interruption. He wasn't in the mood to listen to the news.
