If authorities still haven’t located the runaway driver here, it might help if they could keep putting out details into the public eye. One of the best tools investigators have in these situations is the community. Hit-and-runs often see conclusions because someone is able to connect dots authorities couldn’t. Even family members, friends, or romantic partners of a runaway driver have come forward to do right by victims and families. The same could very well happen here so that there can finally be some accountability for this fatal accident.
