At 2:40 a.m. on July 29, 2001, 16-year-old Brian Edmonds was found in the southbound lanes of State Rd 68 north of Espanola, New Mexico. He was taken to the hospital as a John Doe and was suffering from major head trauma which would kill him later that day. He would soon be identified. It was undetermined whether or not how he got injured if it was caused by a vehicle or a blow.
The night before he was found he was at a birthday party. He was seen with a small injury on his head and left the party to walk home. His residence wasn't far and where he was found was less than a mile from it.
