A central Iowa family is pleading for answers nearly two months after their son was killed in a crash on Interstate 35 in Ankeny.Eric Schall, 41, of Nevada, died Nov. 16 when his vehicle left the southbound I-35 roadway at Oralabor Road and struck a bridge."He loved his nieces and nephews, I'll tell you that," said Diane Schall, Eric Schall's mother said. "Even his brothers and sisters, I mean, we're all having a really hard time with this."Ankeny police found no other car at the scene. Soon after the crash, authorities shared pictures of a white, new-model Honda Civic that they believe could be involved in Eric Schall's death.Witnesses said the driver of the car pulled over onto the shoulder after the crash but took off before police arrived.The pictures are grainy, but Diana Schall and her husband, Joe, said they hoped there would be answers by now. So far, the investigation has turned up nothing."The most frustrating part is not knowing for sure what happened," Joe Schall said.The family lives just outside Ogden, but they're asking everyone in central Iowa to take another look at the pictures because they said someone knows something."What keeps running through my head is, has this car been fixed?" Diane Schall said. "Is there somebody who's fixed a car? Maybe they've got information on that vehicle."The couple said they think another driver might have run their son off the road in a fit of rage, but they said knowing for sure why he died so senselessly and who was responsible would mean the world. Perhaps the close-knit family may finally get some closure."If there's anything that anybody that was on that interstate that morning, the littlest thing they may have seen, contact the Ankeny Police Department and give them anything you saw," Joe Schall said.The accident remains under investigation. Officers said they've tracked down some leads but have made no arrests so far.Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 515-223-1400.
