Around 9pm when authorities arrive, they find Vince eating Tim’s flesh and organs. Another Greyhound driver on the same route decided that maybe he could help, so he goes onto the bus to try to reason with Vince and realizes that Vince is beheading and mutilating Tim. The bus was pulled over and the bus was barricaded with Tim and Vince in it after Vince tried to stab the bus driver trying to de-escalate the situation. Vince pulled a knife from his backpack and started repeatedly stabbing Tim in his neck and chest. At around 8:30pm, a loud scream is heard among other passengers coming from the back of the bus. At a rest stop, Tim went to have a cigarette and Vince spotted him, so when Tim got back on Vince followed him to the empty seat next to him.

Though Tim loved his job, he had a baby on the way with an on-and-off girlfriend of his. The duration of the job was extended for the whole summer, but Tim did not mind this because of his outgoing nature and love for traveling. He had none at the moment so this friend presented a job opportunity for him at a carnival so he needed to come down to where she was for about a week and he agreed.
