If any family or friends of this pedestrian have somehow come across this news piece, my deepest of sympathies to you. I understand what you are going through.

Turn yourself in. There are so many people who loved Brigitte. You may have been able to save her life, had you at least called 911. Instead you left her in the street to die. Do something right. Give some closure to a senseless death of a beautiful young woman.
