Whether it’s been weeks or months, continuing to put out details to the public following a hit-and-run is one of the best steps investigators can take. Hit-and-runs often reach a conclusion when someone in the public is able to connect dots authorities couldn’t, helping to identify a suspect. Once that happens, there can be steps to hold the runaway suspect accountable and to find out if there was something that led them to flee which also warrants consequences. I maintain hope that continued efforts will help lead to a resolution here.
