Summary
In the early morning hours of February 25, 2006, 29-year-old Toby Beaugh and his wife of ten months, Melissa, were walking home after celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. Just blocks from their house, a black pickup truck nearly hit them at an intersection, then circled back to wait on the next street. When Toby stepped forward to cross, the driver slammed on the gas, striking him head-on before speeding away into the night. Toby was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His death was ruled a homicide, however, detectives were never able to identify the driver. Nearly twenty years later, his case remains unsolved, and the question still lingers: who murdered Toby Beaugh? * 29-year-old Toby Beaugh was struck and killed in the early morning hours of February 25, 2006, while walking home with his wife, Melissa, after attending a Mardi Gras party in New Orleans, Louisiana.
