A truck driver from Illinois missing since last Friday was found dead in his still running semi Monday evening, in Pottawattamie County. Sheriff’s Department spokesman Sgt. Dwayne Richie says 58-year old Terry Ross, of Monmouth, IL, was found by deputies after a fellow trucker located Ross’ semi along an Interstate 80 rest stop near Minden, which was under construction. Ross worked for Liberty Trucking, in Burlington, Iowa.
Riche told KJAN News the trucking company notified law enforcement agencies along Ross’ route that he hadn’t been responding to their calls. One of the agencies which was notified, was the Des Moines Police Department. Riche says an officer with the Des Moines P-D called the Sheriff’s Office to inform them of the situation.
He says Ross’ cell phone had been “pinged” and an approximate location was given of 385th Street in Pottawattamie County. The officer also gave a description of the truck. Riche says an officer was dispatched at 7:05-p.m., but was unable to locate the semi.
The semi was still covered in snow when it was discovered by Liberty Truck driver John Gatton, of Cole Valley, IL. Gatton called 9-1-1 after he knocked on the cab of the running semi, and received no answer. Sgt. Riche says the cause of death remains under investigation, but no foul play is suspected.
Jim Field speaks with the folks at Narcanon Arrowhead about substance abuse issues and resources for help.

Mix all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture changes to a caramel color. In a 10″ unbaked pie shell, put a layer of pecans (2 1/2 cups) and pour pie mixture over the pecans. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 45 to 50 minutes – make sure the center still wiggles or it will be too hard.
Now, if you want to change this to a million dollar pie – place in the 10″ unbaked shell: 3/4 cup shredded coconut, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup pecans. Pour the mixture over them and bake the same.
