Case
Details: Twenty-five-year-old Philip Fraser left his Anchorage, Alaska home to go to Evergreen College in Washington on June 14, 1988. On June 17, after losing two days to car trouble, Philip crossed into Canada. The next day, a hitchhiker was dropped off at the 40 Mile Flat Cafe, owned by Gay Frocklage and her daughter Tina. Philip then drove up to the cafe, and began searching his car for something. Tina then went out to pump gas for another customer and said hello to Philip. The hitchhiker then paid for his meal, left the cafe, then asked Philip for a ride. He at first refused, but the man began running after the car and Philip then decided to give the man a ride. Eight hours later, the hitchhiker met Eddie and Pauline Olson when his car appeared to have trouble, and they had him stay the night at their home.
The next morning, the man told the Olsons that he was Philip Fraser and that he wanted to sell his car for a plane ticket, but Eddie refused. The man then drove away and was never seen again. A few hours after he left the Olsons, Philip's burned out car was found at a car wash 300 miles from the Olson home. Six weeks later, Philip's body was found in a gravel turnaround and the search for his killer began. However, his murder remains unsolved.
Suspects: Philip's killer was Caucasian, 5'9, weighs 225 pounds, and has a flabby belly, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Extra Notes: This segment was featured as a part of the January 15, 1992 episode.
Results: Unsolved. Since the case aired, Phillip's father died in 2014.

Thoughts? Phillip's murder was never aired on America's Most Wanted to the best of my knowledge but I am placing his case in the Unsolved on tv section since, as noted above, his case has been aired on Unsolved Mysteries. Also as far as tips and juris4 goes, I assume if you live in Canada you can call Canadian Crime Stoppers or local law enforcement. In the U.S., I assume leaving tips at the Unsolved Mysteries official website would be a safe bet.
