MINNEAPOLIS - Inside the Veterans Affairs Health Care building, sits 29-year old John Byro.

With every ordinary task he completes, he travels down a road that is becoming more extraordinary by the minute.

On this day it was remembering his computer password with little effort.

Six weeks ago, it was walking.

"I can't believe I was that far behind or that I've gotten as far as I have," said Byro.

It was last year in late October when Byro, an Iraq War veteran, was riding his motorcycle near Gaylord. Investigators say a vehicle slammed into him at the intersection of Highways 5 and 19. He laid there dying while the vehicle sped off.

The driver has not been heard from since.

"It is frustrating," he said. "There has to be people out there who knows who he is, he needs to get caught."

But authorities do not even know if the driver is a man. Investigators have little to go on and are asking for the public's help. read more here
