The case is still regarded as a hit and run but it is no longer being investigated as a possible homicide.

I saw this on the news this morning and wondered, if someone has been hit and left for dead, and they die, why isn’t that a homicide? Do they think she was run over by her own car…? I don’t get it.
Pisses me off. ..if you didn’t hit yourself someone had to do it. .they just don’t give a dam. .and I’m hurt and angry because it’s 3 years later next month and they just gave up. .we handed them names on a silver fuckin platter. ..
