MISTAKES/GOOFS

• GEOG: According to the story, the killer strikes on Route 7 between Bend and Eugene. Oregon doesn't use the term "Route" for its highways. Also, odd numbered highways run North-South but travel between Bend and Eugene is East-West so the highway could not have been numbered 7. The fast way to travel between those two Oregon cities requires three highways: 20, 242, and 126.
• FACT: While inspecting the car (a late model BMW) in the impound lot, the agents surmise the heater hose was cut without opening the hood. On late model cars, the radiator is sealed to the core support so no air (or other objects) can get around the radiator. It would not be possible to cut the heater hose without opening the hood. This particular model is also equipped with a low coolant light that would have illuminated once the driver started the motor. Additionally, there are many variables involved with a car overheating, such as using the air conditioning, outside temperature, humidity, etc. There would be no way to exactly determine where it would stop due to overheating.
