"It is the policy of the MHP that we don't file charges until an investigation has concluded and all test results have returned," said Mullins. "While no charges have be filed at this time, I do expect that charges will follow at a later date when all the evidence has been evaluated."

But how did Harmon get on the road to begin with?

Her mother says her daughter called a friend after a fight between Shelby and her boyfriend, Shelton Fulgham who lived together right across the street from the scene.

"I don't think it started in the middle of the highway," Harmon said. "There's key evidence at that house."
