Her Daughter Was Killed. The Suspect Was Arrested, But He Has Never Been Tried.

Check out my new video! (video made with @headlinervideo).

This episode of the podcast version of the syndicated Law Enforcement Today Radio Show features Michelle Root. Her daughter, Sarah Rae Ann Root, was killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving with a blood alcohol level of .241 (several times the legal limit) and reported to be street racing at more than 70 miles per hour. Sarah had just graduated from college the day before with a 4.0 GPA. While stopped at a red light, her car was slammed at high speed by the other driver, who came to this country illegally and unaccompanied at the age of 16. He had several prior run-ins with the law, including failure to appear before a judge, and more. Despite all of this his bond was set at $50,000, he posted the required $5,000 a few weeks after killing Sarah and hasn't been seen since.
