A woman named Betty Wheeler was killed in a hit-and-run incident while she was out walking in Waynesboro, Virginia last week.
On Tuesday, the car-culture blog Jalopnik posted the picture above, which shows the only piece of evidence found at the scene. The car part, an air dam, is allegedly from the vehicle that struck and killed Wheeler.
Jalopnik asked for their community to try to identify the model and make of the car that it came from, then post their findings in the comments section.
Before long, the blog had identified the make, model and year of the car: a 2003 Ford F150 with XL Trim.
Unfortunately for the investigation, the F150 is one of the most common cars in the United States.
In an update to the story, the blog posted:
UPDATE: We are in contact with the Waynesboro Police Department and they are aware of the post. Specifically, we've let them know about the similarity to an F-150 grille. Keep up the good work everyone!
Here are some of the comments that may help catch the suspect:
