It’s important with hit-and-runs to consider all angles in the hopes a new clue can come to light. It’s sometimes helpful to ask authorities if they’re actually doing that. For example, I’ve often had car accident cases where we found out authorities never looked for any nearby cameras. If there are nearby businesses or residences, it’s possible someone has a camera with a view of the road, and that may help show the suspect vehicle and allow it to be published publicly. Have those steps been taken yet?
