Carlee Wines, a UConn freshman, is struck in a crosswalk on North Eagleville Road at 1:49 a.m. The car that hits her is driven by 19-year-old Anthony P. Alvino of Lindenhurst, N.Y. Also present in the car is Alvino's girlfriend, then-UConn student Michele Hall and Alvino's two friends, Anthony Muccioli and Jordan Donahue. Alvino flees the scene.
In the morning, Alvino leaves UConn with Muccioli and Donahue.* The three are students at St. Bonaventure University in upstate New York. They had been in Storrs visiting Hall. Hall leaves UConn and does not return.

Wines dies at Hartford Hospital from blunt-force trauma.
Police, using Connecticut Forensics Laboratory, trace a headlight fragment found at the scene to the manufacturing company in Mexico. They learn that the part had come from either a Nissan Armada SUV or a Nissan Titan pickup truck made between 2004 and 2006. Police alert Nissan dealerships and auto glass repairs shops within a 50-mile radius of the campus.

UConn police alert law enforcement databases nationwide that they are looking for a Nissan truck or SUV. Eight hours later, New York attorney Ray Perini contacts police saying that the vehicle belongs to his clients, Anthony and Donna Alvino. Police find a green fiber attached to the vehicle that matches the clothes Wines was wearing on the night she was hit. They find out the name of the Alvinos' son. Using Facebook, investigators link Alvino to a UConn student, Hall, who is listed as Alvino's girlfriend. Also using Facebook, police determine that UConn student Kristen Schmitt and Hall are friends. Schmitt was with Hall on Jan. 19 and says that around 9 p.m. the group and others were drinking Dubra vodka in Hall's room. Afterwards, Alvino drove to another party in Carriage House 14C. There, the group was provided with free beer without being identified by the apartment's residents as 21-years old.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, if Carlee was following the law and not going out partying drunk while underage... If she was in her dorm room getting some much needed sleep or studying for an upcoming test, She would no doubt still be alive today. (Continued…)

Hey Matt. You're an idiot. She was a freshman in college. That's what you do as a freshman in college. Unless it's you, of course...

Matt- You make me sick. The very thought that you took the time to write that comment and blame Carlee for her death is ludicrous. You should be ashamed of yourself. (Continued…)
