Witnesses told investigators that Cross was seen with four women on Monday, when the women had a flat tire.

Cross then offered to help the women. Investigators believe bought them a new tire and invited them back to his home where they stayed until his body was discovered on Tuesday morning, according to the station.

The good Samaritan was last seen in his house around 6.30 to 6.45am on August 1, shortly before his death.

A witness told authorities that Cross was arguing with three of the women while the fourth woman sat in a white car parked in front of the home.

That witness told investigators that Cross was walking down the street toward his own home, he heard a noise and saw the three women hurry out of the house and get into the car.

Investigators lifted a fingerprint from that car that came back to Dotson.
