INTENTIONAL ACT OR DRUNKEN NEGLIGENCE?




INTENTIONAL ACT OR DRUNKEN NEGLIGENCE?

Mystery still shrouds hit and run death of Kellyann Boyce Hurlbert

Patrick Sullivan - July 22nd, 2013 





Police reached over 400 tips in the case of the July 5 hit and run death of Kellyann (Boyce) Hurlbert, but all of that information from the public so far hasn’t helped investigators get any closer to solving the case.
“We’re still basically at the same place we were on the fifth,” Capt. Mike Ayling, who is heading up the investigation, said last Wednesday.
The lack of progress is in stark contrast to the amount of effort investigators have put into the case. Investigators have followed up on every tip.
The FBI and the Michigan State Police recently joined the investigation. The state police can help design a crash reconstruction model that could be used at a trial, if the case reaches that point.
SIGNS OF INTENT 
There are reasons to believe the hit and run was an intentional act.
First, there are the other similar crashes, one on June 28, 2012, when a pregnant 31-year-old was run down, breaking her leg, and another on July 5, 2010, when a 39-yearold woman was struck.
All three cases happened late at night, at roughly the same time of year, and each case involved a dark-colored truck. Each one involved a woman alone on her bicycle late at night. Each woman was headed east.
Another indicator in Hurlbert’s case that she was struck intentionally was that there was a parked car not far in front of the location of the initial impact, Ayling said.
That car would have been difficult for someone who was drunk to maneuver around, he said, yet the person who struck Hurlbert was able to avoid the car.
