Suspect's Fabricated Story Delayed Arrest
The suspect in a hit and run fatality crash near C-470 and I-25 has been arrested. Erin Finn, 20, has pending charges of vehicular homicide in connection with a violent hit and run that shut down C-470 near Yosemite Street closed in both directions for several hours early last Thursday morning.
The white Pontiac Grand Prix that Finn was allegedly driving at the time veered from the westbound lanes of C-470 onto the grassy median and eventually into eastbound lanes and collided with Dolce's Ford Escape. Dolce was killed instantly. The accident occurred at around 3:05 a.m, November 1st.
Finn apparently walked away from the deadly accident that killed Dennis Dolce, 51, of Littleton. She approached a witness who had stopped to call 911 following the crash, and that witness allowed Finn to get in his vehicle. Police questioned the witness, and he was allowed to leave with Finn in his vehicle after it was discovered that he did not see the accident in person. The witness later drove Finn to a nearby 7-11 after Finn reportedly told the man "I have to get out of here."
Police have indicated that Finn fabricated a story to deceive officers, stating that she returned home from a party on October 31 with two men. When she awoke the next morning, Finn claimed her wallet, car, and purse had all been stolen.
The car Finn was driving was reported stolen approximately one hour after the crash. It is unclear why the witness did not inform police of the woman in his car.
Finn was ultimately arrested after a search warrant was issued for her house by Lone Tree Police Department. Her bond was set at $50,000, last Friday. She posted bond later that day, according to court documents.
