  Speaker 7: know if you guys have seen the picture, but she
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: got to the wedding and of course it's a beach venue,
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: so there's nowhere for her to hide, you know, in
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: her dress. So she literally when I knew they were here,
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: her dad brought her in his Forerunner and she was
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: laying in the back of the Forerunner on her stomach
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: with her legs up in the air, smiling so big,
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: so happy, rewriting her vowels because they were messy. She
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: didn't want him to be messy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So let me understand. Sam was lying on her tummy
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in her wedding dress in the back of da Forerunner
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with her feet up in the air to fit on
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the seat, rewrite her vows.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: It was the funniest sight ever. But that's Sam like
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: she she doesn't care about you know, she just quirky
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: maybe is the word. I don't know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: A free spirit, yes, a free spirit for sure.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: And away moving forward, the wedding started. Their vows ended
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: up being almost exactly alike, which is pretty cool. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: they did not write them together. And then the energy,
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: I mean there was food and drinks and all that,
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: but the and the dance floor upstairs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: She did her.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: Father daughter dance. They did their first dance to John Legend.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: I think it's called you Move, I Move. Sammy's never
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: been a dancer, her sister's dancer, like she used to
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: dance like a lane on Seinfield. And all of a
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: sudden she was up there dancing with her husband to
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: that John Legend song and she's swaying like to the
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: music and just beautiful. It's a beautiful video. Sorry, but anyway,
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: so she danced with her her both her dads after that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: and then the DJ comes on and says, I was
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: surprised dance for the most important person in Sam's life.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: And that moment right there tell us a lot about Sam.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: She loved like no other person. She that I might
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: just feel a little bit weird not having a dance
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: with my daughter, you know, even though it's not traditional,
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: but we're not traditional people for sure. And her and
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: I just from the moment she was born, her whole life.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, she's just my best friend. And then I
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: keep thinking of these interjections like.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So that dance was for you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: That dance was for me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: The yeah, and at the end when he's saying you're
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: amazing just the way you are, and that we're just
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: pointing at each other when at your base, you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Know, and because we both felt the same about each other,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: that was our our song and it was a moment
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: that I'm so thankful for and that just tells it
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: who Sam is, I mean. And then after that, oh,
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: it was time for the DJ and dancing and the
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: energy in that pavilion and all these different groups of
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: people because there was people from Charlotte, and there's people
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: from Utah where Eric came from, and people from Folly Beach,
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: and you know, so a lot of people didn't know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: It wasn't like everybody knew everybody, but it was like
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: everybody was one and everybody was celebrating Sam. Sam.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Then what happened? Did they do the traditional They cut
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the cake, They ate the cake, They danced the night away.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Her sister made her cake for her, and she didn't
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: want like a wedding cake, wedding cake. She just wanted
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: so Eric loved pineapple. So that's another moment. They were
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: doing the cake on their own. It was just for them.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: It wasn't for anybody else, So they just did that
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: on their own.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: You are hearing the voice of Sam's mom, Lisa Miller.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: How could something so wonderful go so wrong? Take a

  Speaker 2: listen to our friends a crime online.

  Speaker 9: The Pelican Watch Pavilion is a public beach from in
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: Folly Beach. The twelve hundred square foot facility is a
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: popular wedding spot. After their five PM wedding, Eric Hitchinson
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: and Samantha Miller enjoy their reception and about nine to
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: forty five pm. The couple is ready to leave. The
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: couple gets into the backseat of a fully equipped golf
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: cart being driven by the bride's brother in law and nephew.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: The vehicle has lights and is legal to drive on
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: the road. The golf cart pulls out along East Ashley Avenue,
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: a two lane road that runs parallel to the ocean.
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: The speed limit is just twenty five miles an hour.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: It should have taken them just minutes to travel the
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: two blocks to their rental house.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Miss Miller, when your daughter left, they had a very
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: short distance to go from the ceremony from the reception. Yes,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: what happened, So they did.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: Their Sparkler exit.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Was the Sparkler exit.

  Speaker 7: It was beautiful, the happiest I've ever seen her in
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: her life. They got on the golf cart. They left
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: ten minutes later. We went to our airbnb, which was
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: before there, so they were still traveling. I started hearing sirens.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: We were on the porch at the airbnb. I started
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: hearing sirens, and literally I looked at my daughter and
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: I said, something happened to Sam. I knew something that
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: happened to Sam.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you looked at your daughter? What
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: do you mean?
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: I just knew that that's what happened, like my intuition
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: with her, like we feel each other.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Your other You looked at your other daughter and you said,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: something has happened to Sam.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: You knew something happened to Sam. I knew that the
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: sirens meant that Sam. It was Sam. I knew it
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: was something happened to Sam while they were on the
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: way home, but just for the sirens, I just like
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: I knew it. It's the weirdest thing. Ever, what did
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: you do? Right after that happened? Eric's sister in law
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: team drove by and she said, have you heard? And
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: I'm like, no, I haven't heard, But I just said,
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: I know something happened to Sam, and I'm sorry. Before that,
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: I called Sam and told her apologized calling her on
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: her wedding night, but that she called me back and
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: let me know she was okay. And then the family
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: member came by and they said get in the truck,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: and so me and my daughter got in the truck
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: and she took us to the scene, which was maybe
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: a mile away, not even two blocks from where they
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: were going to stay, and me and my daughter got
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: out of the truck and just started running hand in
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: hand towards the scene and just screaming Sam, Sam. Sam
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: was like had a really bad movie. Anyway, my ex husband,
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: her dad was there, and my son waiting at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: scene and trying to figure out what was going on.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: And we were told by somebody I don't know who
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: that everybody had been taken to the hospital, and so
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: my daughter and I went to the hospital and because
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: I guess, we were told that because they didn't have
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: ID that for now everybody was Jane Doe and they
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: couldn't say anything or whether Sam was there or Eric
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: or anything. So that was a really long wait. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: then finally Sam's dad called and told me that Samantha
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: wasn't at the hospital, that he had just identified her
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: by her tattoo and she was still at the scene,
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: and that she had been killed. And like the daughter
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: gets plowed down by a drunk driver on her wedding
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: night in her wedding dress. I don't think anything can
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: be any worse.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know that anything can be any worse.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Wristmas Miller. So you get to the scene. You're told
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: everybody who's taking to the hospital. You go to the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: hospital and wait and wait and wait. Nobody can be
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: identified yet. And then you get a call from your
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: husband that says he's at the scene and your daughter
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Sam is still at the scene.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that I mean he literally his words, where
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: she's been killed. One of those phone calls. I won't
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: ever forget either.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Did you leave the hospital and go to the scene.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Well, I was at the hospital for a while, just outside,
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: just crying and screaming, and I don't think we left
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: the hospital till like three o'clock in the morning, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: at that point I did not go to the scene.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: He told me not to go to the scene. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: know that there was a person. There was some people
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: on Folly four ladies that when the accident happened, they
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: each took one of the people on the golf cart
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: so that they wouldn't be alone suffering and sat with them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: And the lady that sat with Sam was an r
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: N and she said she was already gone. So silver

  Speaker 2: the death of someone young and vibrant and full of life.
• 14:29

  Speaker 2: is gone just like that. And it almost seems unreal.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: It absolutely will seem unreal because it is unreal. It's
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: something that we don't planned for. It's something that we
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: cannot imagine. And the shock it takes a while to
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: really your brain to catch up and process what has
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: happened and really what the implications of what has happened
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: really are. It's a terrible terrible trauma.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Joining us. In addition to Ms. Miller is Samantha's mom
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: is Sydney Heiberger with the Queen City News in Charlotte. Sidney,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for being with us who plowed
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: into a golf cart? Because hold on, hold on, Sidney.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Steven Eisenberg is with us. Expert in golf and golf
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: cart related accidents and president and founder of Golf Concepts. Steven,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: thanks for being with us. I don't think a golf
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: cart can't even go that fast, even if you floored it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: No, this type of You're right, Nancy, This type of
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: a vehicle, a low speed vehicle is the term, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: it would go at a maximum twenty miles per hour.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So what I'm saying, Sidney Heiberger, and I'm going to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: circle back to Jason Jensen, who's PI with Jenson Investigations,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to try to figure out how you put this back
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: together again. Sidney Heiberger with the Queen City News. How
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: does someone plow in to a vehicle that cannot go
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: over about twenty miles an hour. It's inching along, it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: barely going. For obvious reasons, you don't want a golf
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: cart speeding on a golf course where there are a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: lot of pedestrians, so it's incapable of speeding. This couldn't
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: possibly have been Samantha's fault.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah, NNTY, You're absolutely right, and for that very reason,
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: because that there are so many golf cars and low
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: speed vehicles off Folly Beach. The speed limit on the
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: roads throughout the island are twenty five miles per hour,
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: so for this driver to be going sixty five miles
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: per hour in a twenty five mile per hour zone,
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: of course, and law enforcement on Folly Beach have said
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: that this really was not Samantha's fault or anyone in
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: that golf cart's fault. Of course, they were allowed to
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: be driving that low speed vehicle on these roads at night,
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: they had their lights on. They were going, of course,
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: under the speed limit because that golf cart could not
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: go over the speed limit, and this driver was going
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: unreasonably fast in a twenty five mile per hour zone.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Trying to figure out where everyone is seated, take ust
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: an hour cut to w CBD.
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: The couple lived on James Island. On Friday night, friends
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: and family from all over came to Foley Beach to
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: watch Miller and Hutchinson exchange their vowels. Jenkins says she's
• 17:45
  Speaker 12: never seen her sister so excited. The couple wed at
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: five o'clock then celebrated into the night.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Jenkins says.
• 17:51
  Speaker 12: The newly weeds left the venue around nine forty five
• 17:54
  Speaker 12: to go back to their airbnb on a golf cart.
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: The bride's brother in law and nephew were in the front,
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: a couple in the back.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: So let me circle back to you, Sidney Heiberger joining
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: us Queen City News. The bride was in the back
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and brother and net, brother in law and nephew were
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in the front driving.
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: That's my understanding, Yes, and I understand that the groom
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: was also in the back with Samantha.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, miss Miller, is that you? Yes, that's tell me
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: what you understand happened, miss miss Miller.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: The eric's brother in law offered to drive them back
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: to the airbnb. That golf cart, by the way, was
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: lent to stand by her very nice boss, and he
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: let her use it for the departure of the wedding.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: And my understanding of what happens this person was intoxicated,
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: had had some kind of confrontation or belligerent behavior at
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: the establishment where she was and I'm not going to
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: say anything about where, It's not my business to say.
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: That, and.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Left intoxicated or on drugs or something, and just was
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: I guess she was angry, would be my guess if
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: she was being belligerent and just got in her car,
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: and we don't know where in the world she was gone,
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: because she lived on James Island as well, and this
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: on Folly was going the opposite direction from her going home.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: If that's where she was going, there's nothing really down
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: that way except house for her to go to.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Take a listen to our cut ten from Wcivy.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: According to Fowley Beach Public Safety, twenty five year old
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Jamie Lee Comoroski hit the LSVS, charged with three counts
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of felony duy resulting in great bodily harm or death
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and one count of reckless homicide.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: She literally ran into my daughter going sixty five miles
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: an hour because Sam and Eric were on the back
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: of the golf cart and so she basically just ran
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: my child.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: The groom's mom. Gofund Me says the hit forced the
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: LSB to travel over one hundred yards and enrolls several times,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and I ever.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Thought it would happen to us.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And to my beautiful sister, your beautiful.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Daughter, at all the one hundred and fifty people that
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: were there and.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Our cut nine.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Sam and Eric were two blocks away from their home
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: when their low speed vehicle was hit.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Got in our pajamas, sitting on the balcony beside Berts
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: at our place where we're staying, and started to hear
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the sirens, and the sirens kept going.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: They texted Sam but got no response.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: And we just got out of the truck and just
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: were running, no shoes, screaming Sam.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Sam, a real life nightmare caution tape.
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: So many lights, Yeah it was dark, but there's so
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: many lights.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Sam, I want to go straight back to Sydney. Heiburger
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: with Queen City News. I'm just trying to figure out, Sydney.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Who is this person who slammed in to Sam just
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: moments after her wedding. Who is this person?
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: Well, Anthey, she's a twenty five year old who has
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: previous DUI charges. At the scene, she admitted to officers
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: that she had had at least two drinks before getting
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: in the car, a beer and a tequila drink, and
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: when officers on the scene asked her, on a scale
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: of one to ten, how intoxicuted are you? She answered an.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Ate joining me right now is Stacey D. Stewart, CEO
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, known as MAD. Stacy, thank
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: you for being with us in every HV habitual violator
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: case or vehicular homicide DUI case I have ever investigated
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: or prosecuted, which are many. If the perp admits to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: x amount, then you can double that by at least
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: two or three. So she said, I had a beer
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: in a tequila. Translation, five beers and five tequilas are
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: something along those lines. But what tails the tale is
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the BAC blood alcohol exactly.
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: And thank you, Nancy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 15: And first let me just say this, Milla.
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: We are so deeply sorry for your loss. This is
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: you know, the issue drunk and drug driving is a
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: completely one hundred percent formidable tragedy. It never had to happen,
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: This never should have happened. And you know, MAD is
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: a part of having passed laws to make sure that
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: the point zero eight blood alcohol concentration level is a
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: part of our laws now and unfortunately today still too
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: many people get behind the wheel and drive drunk, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: it's unfortunate, and it leads to crashes, it leads to.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Death and injury.
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: Unfortunately the way we've lost sam and it's so sad
• 22:46
  Speaker 14: and heartbreaking.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I want to go to doctor Tim Gallagher, joining US
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: medical examiner for the State of Florida at pathcaremed dot com,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: lecturer University Florida Medical School and Forensic Medicine, and the
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: founder and host of the International Forensic Medicine Death Investigation Conference.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Doctor Gallagher, thank you for being with us. It's my
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: understanding and Miss Miller correct me if I'm wrong that
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: when Samantha's golf cart was hit, it caused a rollover
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that went at least one hundred yards. It's my belief
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and my hope that Samantha died instantly, as Miss Miller
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: suggested that a nurse told her what happened.
• 23:34
  Speaker 16: So my understanding is this was a rollover accident. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 16: before we talk about that, I just want to extend
• 23:38
  Speaker 16: my sympathies to the Miller family for their loss of Samantha.
• 23:42
  Speaker 16: This is just an.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: Awful, terrible story.
• 23:44
  Speaker 16: I don't know how it could be worse. Nancy. What
• 23:48
  Speaker 16: we have here is a rollover type accident. And typically
• 23:52
  Speaker 16: what we find in rollover type accidents, especially when the
• 23:57
  Speaker 16: occupants are not belted in with with the seatbelt, is
• 24:01
  Speaker 16: that they are ejected from the vehicle. So when you're
• 24:06
  Speaker 16: rejected from the vehicle that's going about sixty five miles
• 24:09
  Speaker 16: per hour, the landing or the secondary impact is generally
• 24:15
  Speaker 16: what is the fatal impact. And then typically what we
• 24:18
  Speaker 16: find in these victims are skull fractures, our brain damage,
• 24:25
  Speaker 16: are a severe internal organ damage to the point where
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: sometimes the heart is actually ripped from the body, the
• 24:35
  Speaker 16: ribs are fractured, and there's a massive, massive internal bleeding.
• 24:40
  Speaker 16: Many of the times you also find the spinal cord
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: has been severed. And typically these patients or these decedents,
• 24:49
  Speaker 16: these victims die instantaneously. They have no recollection, no feeling
• 24:58
  Speaker 16: that they're doing. It's just an instantaneous death.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: So you're await one moment and the next moment you're
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in heaven.
• 25:06
  Speaker 16: Absolutely, so there is no suffering in this type of
• 25:09
  Speaker 16: a high impact rollover type accident.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Sidney Heiberger, did you tell me that this woman, this
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: driver who, by the way, refused a breathalyzer. Although when
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: you refuse a breathalyzer you're taking straight to get a
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: blood vile drawn, So refusing a breathalyzer doesn't help anybody
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: at all. Did you tell me, Sidney Heiberger she had priors?
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: Yes, Nancy, that is my understanding she had a prior.
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: At least we've seen a prior mumpshot for another DUI incident.
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: And you're absolutely right in that she didn't refuse a breathalyzer,
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: and they did take vials of blood to send off
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to get her
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: BAC that was per a court order, and that those results,
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: as far as we know, have not been released yet.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Joining me right now. In addition to miss Miller, Sam's
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: mom is Jason Jensen, renowned private investigator, joining us, cold
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: case expert, co founder of the Cold Case Coalition. Jason,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. According to reports, the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: driver the defendant in this case, Jamie Lee Kamarowski, was
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: quote reeking of alcohol, reaking of alcohol when she's slammed
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: into the bride and the groom in an unprotected golf cart.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: It's not like you hit a car where you've got
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a door protecting you and a top. This is a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: golf cart. I mean, hold on, Steven Eisenberg to golf
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: carts even have seat belts.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: A low speed vehicle typically would have either the option,
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: but to be street legal, it should have seatbelts.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yesna, So I think you're saying in a nice way
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: it may or may not have had seat belts correct,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: because I've never seen seatbelt in a golf cart or
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: on a school bus, which I also don't understand, but
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I've never for today, I've never seen them on a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: golf car.
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: Ever, Well, this type of vehicle is not really for
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: a golf course. It's not technically a golf car. By
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: definitional low speed vehicle is for use on roads or
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: for use in gated communities, but it isn't typically used
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: on a golf for self, especially being a four seater,
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: so it really wouldn't be a golf car.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: So you're saying it may have had a seat belt correct.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Made Jason Jensen, private investigator Jason If she reeked of
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: alcohol the suspect Jamie Lee Komarowski, there is no way
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: she had one beer and one drink with tequila in it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: If you are king, you've had a lot more than that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 13: I would agree with the nancy. I mean typically, what
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: we see here is the pattern of evolution of where
• 27:59
  Speaker 13: the this type of offender you referred to her earlier
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: as potentially a habitual offender. What we see here is
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: the progression of a worsening violator. Where typically, if it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: your first DUI, you're pulled over, you're apologetic. You know
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: everyone would expect you to learn your lesson and not.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: Do it again.
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: But here she's progressed to where now she's refusing breathalyzer,
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: she's not cooperating, she's clearly left in an agitated state,
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: well beyond her alcohol levels that are permissible by most dates.
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: So you know, she didn't learn anything from.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Her prior offense.
• 28:42
  Speaker 13: Here she is. Now she's gone to the extreme of
• 28:45
  Speaker 13: killing people in the process. So it is a motor
• 28:48
  Speaker 13: vehicle accident in the context that vehicles were involved, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: there's criminal elements because she was reckless.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's an accident. I may be parsing
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: words with you, Jason Jenson, all this a crash because
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: and I guarantee you Stacy D. Stewart is going to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: agree with me. CEO of Mad Mother's against drunk driving
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: because it's a decision to go to a bar and drink.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Officers noted, and I quote, Komorowski was quote a very
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: unsteading on her feet and almost fell down. They asked
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: her to rate her level of impairment one to ten.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: She said in eight. The officer states, and I quote,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I smelled an odor of alcohol coming from her breath
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and person. So this woman was literally stinking drunk. Stacy Stewart.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: For her to admit to drinks means she's had a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: whole lot more. But she knows enough, Stacy not to
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: take the breathalyzer. I mean, one night, I was coming
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: home from an investigation on an arson murder, and I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: stayed with the victim's friend, a piano teacher, till eleven
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: thirty at night, and was just talking, looking at pictures,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: talking about their friendship and about the victim. I was
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: driving home now is about a quarter of twelve. I
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: got pulled over. The officer actually asked me to do
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: a breathalyzer. And I know better than to argue. I'm like, sure,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I'll do a breath lizer. You have to know better,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: or know why you should tell a cop who's giving
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you a directive to say no, I'm telling you this
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: ain't her first time at the rodeo.
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: Stacy Stewart, Well, this is a crash that, again could
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: have been preventable. One of the things that we're working
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: on at MAD in South Carolina in particular, because the
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: past two years, Nancy, we have seen an extraordinary increase
• 30:40
  Speaker 14: in drunk driving fatalities in the country and especially in
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: South Carolina. You know, the past two years, we've seen
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: double digit increases in drunk driving fatalities in by fourteen
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: percent each year in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: then even more in South Carolina. The laws in South
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: Carolina has.
• 30:58
  Speaker 17: To be changed.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: Right now, if you're if you.
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: Are found that your BAC level is above one point
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: eight or even above one point one five, which is
• 31:11
  Speaker 14: even higher than legally allowed, that's that is the trigger
• 31:16
  Speaker 14: for what we call ignition interlock, the kind of technology
• 31:18
  Speaker 14: that would disable your car if you are if you
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: are intoxicated. Right now, you can be below one point five,
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: still get in the car, drawing, and your car will
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: still go. And that is part of the laws that
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: we need to change we're working on in South Carolina.
• 31:34
  Speaker 14: It possibly could have prevented this from happening.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: This occurred in Folly Bait, South Carolina, where I believe
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the legal leminus point zero eight. If that's wrong, somebody
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: correct me.
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: It is.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grease.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Joining us now is Sarah Ford, Legal director of South
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Carolina Victims Assistance Network. Sarah, this is your neck of
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the woods. This is Foley Beach, South Carolina. Isn't the
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: legal limit point zero eight?
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: Yes?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: No, that's correct, Sarah Ford. We heard someone earlier state
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: that this was an accident. That's total bs. This is
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: no accident. This is a crash. And I frankly believe
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: and have advocated cases just like this. One should not
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: be a vehicular homicide. This should be a murder, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because it takes intent, Sarah. It
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: takes intent for you to belly up to a bar
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: and not have one, but two, and we believe many
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: more drinks. Then you get the key to your car,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: You walk to your car, get into your car, crank
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: it up, knowing you've been dreaming, put it in reverse,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: and start driving. She knew perfectly well that she was
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: driving drunk. And as you know, under the law, we
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: are to infer that the defendant intends the natural consequence
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: of their act. Those are not my words. That's the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: black and white letter of the law. The law presumes
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you intend the natural consequence of your act. When you
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: are driving drunk to the point that you literally stink
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a booze, the natural consequence is a wreck. That means intent.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: You don't have to get in the car and say, oh,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I intend to mow down Sam on the night of
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: her wedding. No, that's not what intent is under the law.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I believe this should be a flat out murder thoughts.
• 33:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right if you were choices
• 34:00
  Speaker 15: that were made by this defendant, in these choices that
• 34:02
  Speaker 15: tried to consequences, you know, for for these people, for
• 34:06
  Speaker 15: these families. It's absolutely horrific. And being a you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 15: a South Carolina residents going to Colley Beach is incomprehensible
• 34:16
  Speaker 15: traveling sixty five miles per hour on that road. You know,
• 34:21
  Speaker 15: it's it's absolutely horrific. Absolutely try to and I agree,
• 34:25
  Speaker 15: I do believe they should should increase the charges against
• 34:29
  Speaker 15: this suspect and charge her with felony d UI with death.
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: That's a mandatory minimum of one year to twenty five years.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: That's a good way to approach it, Sarah, that's a
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: very good that's a brilliant legal thought. Actually, felony murder,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: which means a death occurred during the commission of a felony.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Miss Miller joining us and Miss Miller. If if I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: hear the facts again, I think I will break down
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and cry right along with you. Tell me how is Eric.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: He physically is improving every day. I had a reconstruction
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: on his face surgery yesterday. He's had a couple surgeries
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: on his feet and legs. But he will be okay
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: physically eventually. He's got a long, long, long word. Emotionally,
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: I'm very close with Eric, and he's like Sam's twin
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: basically where it comes to their heart and how they feel.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: We always kind of used to laugh and call him
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: and cry baby, but just choke log. He just he
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: feels so deep. So that's a good thing when things
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: are good, and it's a really bad thing, especially now
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: because he's gonna have a really hard road emotionally moving forward.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: And our plan is my plan is to try to
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: get here on James Island or in South Carolina permanently
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: so that I can be there for him because he
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: doesn't want to leave.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, just from my own experience,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: it it changes the rest of your life.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you're.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Never the same. How did Eric learn that Sam had
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: actually passed away?
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: When he first was in the hospital, he was kind
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: of in and out of consciousness for a while, and honestly,
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: that day, the timeline is kind of blurry to me,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: but his brother was with him, and eventually when he
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: kind of came back to conscious he told him. So
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: he was. Yeah, he was made aware as soon as
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: he came to So it wasn't was it right that?
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it was that night or the
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: next morning.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Eric has been tiedled as being in serious condition.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: He has had so far one of two reconstruction surgeries,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: numerous broken bones, and a brain injury. To doctor Tim Gallagher.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: When this woman, Jamie Lee Komarowski, plowed into Sam and Eric,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: it pushed the golf cart one hundred yards rollover, rollover, rollover.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: What would have caused the brain injury on the young groom?
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Well, it's a good question.
• 37:44
  Speaker 16: Typically what we see and I'm looking at the picture
• 37:47
  Speaker 16: of him laying in the hospital bed and if you
• 37:49
  Speaker 16: look at his eyes, you can see that his eyes
• 37:52
  Speaker 16: underneath his eyes are black and blue with something we
• 37:55
  Speaker 16: would call raccoon eyes. Typically, what thames is that the skull,
• 38:03
  Speaker 16: the skull and the bones of the face have been fractured.
• 38:06
  Speaker 16: And when the face and the are fractured, the shards
• 38:12
  Speaker 16: of the bone of the fractured bone actually penetrate into
• 38:17
  Speaker 16: the brain itself, and that's what causes a lot of
• 38:21
  Speaker 16: the injury.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm looking at a lot of the posts
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: to doctor Sherry Schwartz, forensic psychologist of Kamarowski, and in
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: almost every post I see she's holding alcohol. This is
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the woman who refused to take a field sobriety test
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: after the fatal crash not accident crash.
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Here she is standing on a deck outside drinking alcohol.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Here she is, and this is what she's posting off herself.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Here she is just as bud light ear and a
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: pair of hotpants. Here she is drinking. I mean, every
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: one is related to alcohol. Every one of these pictures
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: explain that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Well, here's what we know about drivers who drive well intoxicated.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Two thirds, more than two thirds, tend to have alcoholism problems.
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: Or drug abuse. Problems.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: They tend to have more than one d UI.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Let me add something, doctor Schwartz, you need to know
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: this fact too. She posts a photo of herself just
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: as bud light Year, a play on the toy story character,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: in tight shorts, crop top with bud light boxes wrapped
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: around her legs and ankles and the caption raised to
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: infinity and be ranged. In other words, just drunk out
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: of your mind.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Well, the other thing that we know is that these
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: are individuals who are low in conscientiousness and high and
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: antisocial characteristics such that they are unconcerned about content sequences
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: of their behavior. And hearing about that particular post right
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: with bud light Year, what this tells me is this
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: is someone who has incorporated as part of her identity
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: the humor in being having this relationship with alcohol and unhealthy,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: clearly unhealthy relationship. And as someone who has previously been
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: in legal trouble with a DUI, she's savvy enough to
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: say I'm not going to blow into a breathalyzer, which
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: tells me that she had consciousness of mine to know
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: that she shouldn't be driving.
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: And this is Sydney Heiberger again with Queen City News
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: let me jump in here. I just was going through
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: her record, and I do see at least three different
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: speeding violations previously, or two different speeding violations, and one
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: failure to use a turn or stop signal. She pled
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: guilty to all of those, but I do not see
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: prior to UI.
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: I think it was because she was under age. It
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: was twenty eighteen.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, who is speaking right now? Is that Miss Miller? Yes,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Miss Miller. On her adult record, we see a lot
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: of speeding and other traffic violations, but there seems to
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: be evidence that there may be a prior duy when
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: she was a minor.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: Yes, we saw another mug shut. I'm a drug and
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: alcohol counselor, so it's kind of crazy, but I think
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: that what we have here is a young lady that
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: has been bailed out because she her family has money
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: and is not been held accountable for any of her
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: poor choices that she's made. And when you continue to
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: bail somebody out, they're never going to learn, and she
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: has not suffered any consequences, so she continues the same behavior,
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: and unfortunately it happens a lot and a lot of
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: my patients that I deal with, they've been enabled, and
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: their parents take care of everything and fix it and
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: trying to protect them, but they're not really protecting them.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Because now my daughter's dead.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: You can find out about they GoFundMe that's been put together.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It's go fund me. Samattha Miller Dash gone too soon,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Miss Miller. When you are alone, when you're back at
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: your place, when you put your head to your pillow,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: do you feel Sam is with you? What is your
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: state of mind right now?
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: I haven't been home yet, and I haven't been alone yet,
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: and I can't even think of that. I'm not going
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: to be okay if I'm home alone. So my daughter
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: is here from Florida and going with me to Charlotte
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: and then we'll coming back here and sticking right by
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: me because I can't be alone. I always said, anything
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: happens to one of my kids, I'm done. And my
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: daughter Mandy made me promise the other day that that
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: would not happen because she needs me.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: She does She needs you so much, and around the world,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: across our country, people need to hear your voice. They
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: need to hear your voice speaking out about what happened
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: to Sam and that somehow, some way you may be
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: able to stop it from happening, even just one more time.
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough for being with us today
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: and representing Sam in such an incredible way. Your story
• 43:52
