Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

Did authorities ever make progress in finding the suspected hit-and-run driver here? A lot of the time, authorities release a lot more information to the public when they’re serious about finding a hit-and-run suspect. The relative lack of information on this makes me wonder if authorities ever prioritized getting closure here. It wouldn’t be the first time victims were left without a resolution because authorities felt they had more important things to do. I would be glad to hear if progress was made behind the scenes, though.
