Subaru Hatchback Found Abandoned in Aurora Has Hair, Blood
Dan Peterson was killed in a hit and run accident July 22
Denver Police are investigating a 1999 Subaru Legacy hatchback that is believed to be involved in a fatal hit an run accident that occurred July 22. The vehicle had a broken windshield in addition to blood and hair, consistent with a pedestrian-auto crash.
Dan Peterson was biking home from a friends party at approximately 2:20 am when he was struck by a black Subaru Legacy. He was tossed across the road and suffered massive cranial damage. Peterson later died in the hospital.
The vehicle continued to drive north on Speer Boulevard with Peterson's mangled bike still embedded underneath the car. Witnesses later saw a man exit the vehicle and remove the bike and place it in the hatchback. A Caucasian woman with shoulder length hair was observed driving the vehicle.
The Subaru, which was reported stolen from a remote home in Weld county hours after the crash, was found abandoned in an Aurora parking lot. A court affidavit "concluded the vehicle has damage consistent with the collision at Speer and Lincoln and has broken lights with missing glass consistent with the glass recovered at the scene."
Police investigators obtained a warrant to search both the interior and exterior of the impounded Subaru. They hope to confirm Peterson's identity through the hair and blood and to garner evidence about the possible suspect from any items that may have been left in the car. Investigators also intend to search the garage where the vehicle was discovered for possible evidence.
The bike Peterson was riding has not been found.
