Around 12.15 a.m., the Bath Ironworks shift let out, and 18 workers filed out of the factory and began boarding a company bus, which was parked facing Commercial Street. Two ironworkers who were leaving in a pickup truck saw a girl matching Jessica's description. She was pushing a bike, and a man was walking close to her right side.

Around 12.15 a.m., the Bath Ironworks shift let out, and 18 workers filed out of the factory and began boarding a company bus, which was parked facing Commercial Street. Two ironworkers who were leaving in a pickup truck saw a girl matching Jessica's description. She was pushing a bike, and a man was walking close to her right side.

These two in the pickup truck described this man as around 5'11", 170 pounds, with quote, long arms and blonde hair that hung over his ears, wavy and thrown back. They passed the parking garages and headed down toward the pier. The company bus driver also saw Jessica and this mystery man. He said the man was walking about six feet ahead of Jessica as she pushed the bike.

They passed the parking garages and headed down toward the pier. The company bus driver also saw Jessica and this mystery man. He said the man was walking about six feet ahead of Jessica as she pushed the bike.

He described the man as 6'2", 170 pounds, and 22 to 28 years old. He had sandy brown hair that blended with his beard and mustache. He was wearing a multicolored shirt and jeans. He said the bike was a stingray style with a banana seat. The bus driver said his cheeks looked reddened and he had a cocky smile. It seemed like he'd been drinking.

And then seven more men on the bus saw Jessica pass under a street lamp with this man. Their descriptions are relatively consistent, citing a young man, teens to late 20s, no facial hair, 5'5 to 6'2, with a slim to medium build. He had dirty blonde hair, dressed in a t-shirt, jeans, and jean jacket. At 12.20, the young man took the bike from Jessica and straddled it.

Jessica hiked up her skirt and climbed on the seat behind him. Some of the men on the bus called out to Jessica and she laughed. The pair cycled off together down the pier. Between 12.30 and 12.45 a.m., three men were out on a late-night cruise in the harbor. According to them, they were passing by the Bath Iron Works dry docks to see what kind of vessels they had.

And as they passed by these docks, they saw a woman at the end of the pier, about 50 yards away. She was backlit by the security light, so they couldn't make out her features. The woman waved and yelled, Hi! And then two of the boaters noticed a man standing behind her. He didn't wave or call out. The boaters estimated the woman's height to be around 5'6", and the man at 6'3".

Beyond that, they couldn't give any more details. It is under this pier that Jessica's body is discovered in the sea the next day. The medical examiner estimates that Jessica's time of death was between 3.15 and 5.15 a.m., but noted that it's challenging because she was found in the cold water.

There was minimally digested macaroni found in her stomach contents during an autopsy, which suggested that it was eaten two to four hours before death. So that would put Jessica's time of death around 3.30 a.m., So if she's last seen at 1245, where her body was later found, and died at 330, what was Jessica Briggs doing for two hours and 45 minutes? And with whom? Who is that boy on the bike?

To this day, the boy on the bike has never been properly identified. It's possible he's a witness and not the killer. Three hours had passed after Jessica was last seen with him. And as we know, Jessica came into contact with a lot of people that evening. There are understandable discrepancies between the 10 eyewitnesses.

What's interesting is that only the bus driver said the man had facial hair that's later reflected in the composite sketch. Everyone else said the man was clean-shaven. So was the witness that provided the sketch details only the bus driver? April, Heidi's sister, gave me a picture of her dad with shaggy hair, beard, and a mustache, dated 1985.
