    This is a fascinating tale for me because my brother was killed by a drunk driver in '83. The investigation was botched and the guy walked, my other brother vowed to kill the man but my father stopped him. After my dad died in '92, my psychotic brother tried to track him down several times, but couldn't find him. My mother was a skip tracer and bounty hunter and at my behest she tracked him to Rhode Island. (This all happened in New Mexico)
    He was dead. He died after being hit by a 23 year old drunk driver. My brother had just turned 24 when he died. It was such a weird, surreal ending to the saga, and I'm very curious how the drunk driver that killed him will fare later in life. Will history repeat itself? Who knows. It's certainly interesting though.

    Why is no one considering the possibility that Doug's death was suicide? He was terminally ill, he had already declared that he was ready to "go home," and now here was an opportunity to die in a manner strikingly similar to the way he had killed someone years prior. Maybe he thought that this rampaging car had come for him, and simply stepped up to his destiny.

Nor did they deserve being further traumatized by the lazy non-investigation of her death afterwards.

      @@emilygoogle6520 lots of forensic evidence degrade over time and memories gradually alter making eye witnesses less reliable over time (risking them becoming more composite memories, years later thinking you saw the face of the person when that was just someone you saw earlier that day, for example).
      But yeah, with newer methods like DNA databases and increased video surveilance you'd think there'd be some legal room to reopen those kind of cold cases like rape and manslaughter if that kind of evidence is found even after the statute of limitations.
      (if those types of evidence are enough to exonerate the wrongly convicted years after the fact, it should be enough to lock up the guilty).

      @jopalolive หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used to wonder the same thing. I think the legal concept is called Latchees. Not a lawyer. As slow as the legal system can be, timeliness is important. Memories and evidence fade.
      There is a parallel with our tendency to eventually move on. This case is an example, that poor child had her life taken away, but imo it was probably an accident. Versus a serial killer or repeat offender. Manslaughter is the worst type of accident. .

    There is redemption in this story, though not from where you'd expect it. Douglas Parkhurst's grandson, and namesake, Doug III, actually sought out Darlene and apologized on behalf of his grandfather and his uncle. His life hasn't been easy, and it took a lot of courage for him to overcome the generational pain that held both families hostage for 50 years. I applaud him.

We both keep thinking how horribly it couldve gone.. The guilt, even if it wouldve been an accident, wouldve crushed us.

    I think I'm going to add a theory - theory number four: Doug was carrying around repressed guilt and just wanted to end his life. Being hit by a rampaging driver seemed like the perfect method, so when he saw the opportunity, he found a reason to put himself in front of that car.

    Doug was a coward. He wouldn’t apologize to the girls parents. I think that’s pretty crappy. At least, face them and tell them that you’re sorry. He couldn’t do that. It tells the kind of person Doug was. I find it sad that Doug got live most of his life. The cancer should have gotten him the day he struck and killed that girl.

    If Doug had done the right thing, Carolee and her family would have had justice. Taking responsibility would have brought their beloved Carolee back but it would have created some inner peace. This includes peace of mind for the family and for Doug. Perhaps he would not have been as angry. He definitely would have been left with a different legacy. Thanks for another great video Dr. Grande. Could you review the movie the Sound of Freedom and the controversy surrounding it? Always love hearing your thoughts

      It seems like at some level he was dealing with guilt, but as a raging narcissist he couldn't help himself attempt to obtain redemption on the cheap, with no actual apology and of course no punishment.
      If he was trying to kill himself, it probably had more to do with cancer than remorse.

    • @ronald3836

      @@aarondavis8943 "raging narcissist" based on what? Yes, he made a grave mistake half a century earlier, and he deserved punishment for that. But the statute of limitations exists for a reason. As far as we can tell the guy had an otherwise decent life. If the police fails to get you when you have done something wrong, what are you supposed to do? Yes, you can step forward and confess, but are you sure that is the choice you would make? If you are sure that you would, then you are most probably just lying to yourself.

    The best part of a Dr. Grande video is the titles appear to be sensational click bait...Until you watch them and consistently see these stories are true. The best part of all; however, is when Dr. Grande talks about the lengths people will go to for their amazing, magical, perfect, utterly abusive and destructive, "love"...With a voice tone that matches the "stable" and "healthy" relationships the people he reports on so often choose.

  • @jena.alexia

    Oh I remember this one! It even made the news in Australia, I believe probably due to the bizarre nature of the incident (car being driven on ball field) and that in recent times we'd had a couple of similar "cars used as weapons" incidents (Bourke St, Melbourne massacre - perhaps another case for you to look at - just terrible 😢) and then one a few years later on Flinders Street. Plus other cities around the world were experiencing this new kind of terror - Nice, Berlin, London, Barcelona et al. The fact this turned out to be a mentally ill woman didn't necessarily alleviate concerns about cars being used as weapons. I had never heard the whole story though that you covered today. The entire situation does have an air of fate intervening where the justice system had failed. Tragic story all round for everyone involved really. Your analysis was as always thought-provoking and insightful.

      New York doesn't have a 3rd degree murder charge. Doug would have been charged with 2nd degree vehicular manslaughter (as they can't prove any aggravating factors) and the statute of limitations is 5 years.
