The driver of the van accelerated as Inspector McCaghren was searching it. He was thrown from the van and received injuries, which he succumbed to the following day.

The driver of the van was apprehended five days later. He was convicted of first degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison without parole.

It seems like only yesterday that you were here. Some times I wonder if things would have turned out better if you hadn't been taken from me or if things would remain the same. I like to think that if you were never taken from us that things would be a lot different and I wouldn't have made some of the choices that have turned my life upside down. Now in your honor I'm trying to get things back on track hoping you would be proud of me no matter what. I will always remember the good times as well as the bad times, it takes both to make us who we are.
Love Always Your Son Brandt.
