Robin D. Abraham

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Officer Thomas Deignan was reportedly investigating a report of a prowler when he noticed a 2001 Lincoln Town Car. Deignan admitted that no traffic violations were committed, but he thought it was strange that young people were out in an expensive car at 4 a.m. Deignan checked the license plates and learned the car was reported stolen, then turned on his cruiser's lights and sirens. Less than 10 minutes into the pursuit, the Lincoln missed a curve, went over an embankment, and crashed into a tree. Robin D. Abraham and Amanda M. Jura, who were in the back seat, were killed. A third passenger was injured. The driver, Jacob M. Witt, 22, was charged with motor other homicide.
