The son of a hit and run victim said he won’t stop seeking closure, even if it takes decades.
Seven years ago, Robert Luther was hit and killed when his car broke down on I-64 in Rowan County. He was on his way back from his son’s graduation.
Now, in a search for answers, his son Ryan spends the anniversary on the same corner near exit 137. Looking like a panhandler, Luther’s sign tells his father’s story. Instead of asking for money, Luther asks for information.
“Every cold case deserves answers,” Luther said. “at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”
Seven years later, Ryan Luther is no closer to knowing who is responsible.

“If you continue searching, you’ll find your answers,” He said “When you give up, the answers aren’t there.”
Luther said he once wanted justice. After years of searching for answers, his feelings have changed.
“It was a mistake seven years ago,” Luther explained. “I just want to hug someone and know that my void is gone.”
To find that, Ryan continues to return to the same corner, sharing his father’s story with the hope of some type of closure.
“I’m looking at 7 years,” He said. “I may be back doing this same thing 70 years from now.”
