Testimony from an anonymous witness:
"In early January 1981 I was riding with a friend who lives in Conroe, Texas, on the same highway (FM 1485) to get a job in the East part of Houston. Usually we leave before sunrise to avoid traffic congestion in the area Conroe to get to work by 7 am. Thus, it was still dark when we set off.
It was almost immediately after the incident with the Cache and Landromat, but then we knew nothing, because their story has hit the press. Near new-Caney highway, which was absolutely free, we ran into a strange roadblock, which we assumed belonged to the brigade of road workers, working in the dark with the only light source, however, it seemed that there was a serious road works.
As a result, we deployed back in new Caney, as the highway was completely blocked. I thought how strange to conduct road works simultaneously on both lanes of the highway, not putting warning signs type "Detour," "road closed" or "Attention, working people".
Unless, of course, was not carried out urgent emergency work. We then suggested that overturned and burned a truck, damaging the road surface, which caused an urgent repair. In the headlights we could see a very small amount of road machinery and equipment – a couple of dump trucks, front-end loader, road grader and a couple of some of the techniques that we are unable to consider.
All the equipment was without any markings. I guessed that it was the pavers, because the air smelled kreazota and asphalt. None of the workers had no reflective clothing, which also looked very strange. They removed old asphalt and put new. In the dark."

Original news
An unnamed witness later came forward via online message board:
In early January of 1981, I was catching a ride from a buddy who lived in Conroe, Texas, and we necessarily traveled that same roadway (FM 1485) on our way to work on the east side of Houston. We usually left well before sunrise to reach our jobsite by 7:00 AM, as the commuter traffic up there around Conroe was legendarily bad. So it was still dark when we hit the road. This would have been shortly after the Cash-Landrum incident transpired, but we didn't know that, as the story had not yet reached the press.
Outside of New Caney, Texas, on a stretch of 1485 that was particularly desolate at the time, we encountered a nondescript sawhorse roadblock and what I supposed was a contract road crew working in the dark, using only a spotlight tree to illuminate what appeared to be some serious road repairs. In fact, we were turned back to New Caney because the entire road was closed.
I thought this was odd because there were no "detour" nor "road closed" nor "men working" warning signs, and it was highly unusual for road repairs to shut down both sides of a thoroughfare. Unless, of course, it was an emergency job. We assumed that a petroleum tanker had crashed and burned, damaging the road and warranting a rush repair.
By the light of our headlights, we could see quite a bit of heavy equipment — a couple of beaten-up and unmarked dump trucks, an unmarked front-end loader, an unmarked road grader, and a couple of other bulky vehicles hidden by the darkness. I guessed that it was a blacktop machine, because we could smell creosote and asphalt in the air. None of the road crew were wearing reflective gear, either, which I thought was pretty peculiar. They were tearing up and laying a new road. In the dark.
