YPSILANTI TWP., MI — Lester Mullin suspects his son had car trouble before a vehicle struck and killed him on I-94. “The only thing I can surmise is that when he got off on Rawsonville Road, the ramp, his car probably died,” Lester said. “But why he went walking down the freeway? We have no idea.” Shawn Mullin was fewer than 1000 feet from his car at the time of the crash, Lester said, citing an official who spoke with him. He is unsure why Shawn was naked when he died.
