On August 17th 1984 Billy Dilt's gas tank was empty

He'd been called into work. There's an emergency at the oil rig

At around 2 a.m

He pulled into a 24 hour techsico station called the star stop to fill up his gas tank

But something seemed a bit off

A normally you'd pull up and the attendant inside would see you were there and they were turning pump on

So I pulled up and got out put the nozzle in my gas tank filler tube

And turn around and look and I didn't see anybody in the store

Billy went inside

latest credit card on the counter and asked the clerk to turn on the pump

I stood there a minute and turned around and looked at him in the store and he's

Standing there like he's messing with the little switches that you use to turn the different pumps on

And all of a sudden I noticed he's coming outside the store walking towards me across the

parking lot there

And so I started over towards him and he's got my credit card in the same. He said I cannot get the pump to turn on

Annoyed by the situation, he drove off trying to remember another 24 hour gas station

Hopefully with more competent workers

What Billy Diltz didn't know was the man that he had handed his credit card to

Wasn't the employee at the techsco station

It was her murderer
