    Truck driver found dead in burning semi in grocery store lot
    I have a bad gut feeling about this one. And my gut is telling me one of two things happened. Either 1.A malfunction occurred(possibly electrical or carbon monoxide poisoning) or 2. Robbery attempt where the driver was killed and the truck was intentionally set on fire to attempt to cover up the killing (just like the one in Detroit).
    And I’m leaning towards the latter of the two possible scenarios.
    R.I.P. Driver.:(

    I'd say the chances of getting robbed in a tiny town out in no where land south Dakota are slim...

    I would definitely lean towards some type of mechanical deal or space heater he had set up in the truck as the cause...

    i don't know about that. there are roving/traveling gangs all over the USA, or thugs, or dope addicts, or homeless people all over. "get in, do the dirty deed, get out"...i don't see where Anytown, USA is as safe as we would think.
