A man found his body in the road; it was an apparent hit-and-run. Dennis had been drinking and he and his girlfriend left Benson in the early morning hours of Sept. 25. They weren’t driving long before Dennis’s car broke down and after an unsuccessful search for a ride and then an argument, the two parted ways.
Theories of the crime ran the gamut – was he beaten to death and thrown in the road to make it look like a hit-and-run? If it was a hit and run, was it an accident or on purpose?
Former State Trooper Dean Hewitt, who responded to the scene that morning, remembers it as an unusual crime scene – no debris in the road, no skid marks, and the appearance that Dennis had been dragged a number of feet.
“After looking over the scene, the accident scene did not appear to be a standard motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian,” Hewitt said, noting the lack of debris on the road.
According to a report prepared by a private investigation firm hired by Dennis’s mother, there were claims by some that in search of a ride or by coincidence, Giggio made contact with an ex-boyfriend that night and there was an argument between Mary and Ray about whether to accept a ride from him and his friend. At that point, details get hazy but the story ends the same: Ray is hit by the car and left dead in the middle of the road.
Blood and hair were found on the undercarriage of the car, but after extensive testing, the hair and blood were not a match. Still, Johnson harbors suspicions and is waiting for an apology or, at the very least, an explanation of what happened that night.
Efforts to reach Bradshaw, Gautier and Giggio for comment were unsuccessful. NC Wanted contacted Bradshaw's father, Arthur Allen, who the vehicle was registerd to, but he refused to comment, explaining that he had been advised by his lawyer not to discuss the case.
