REPOST: Please come forward if you have ANY information about the hit and run accident that occurred on the 285 ramp at the 75/85 connector in Atlanta this past Saturday that killed the sweetest soul I have ever known...Jacob Halbrooks. He was only 23, he was going to be married this Saturday. The police are saying that it is a BMW, possibly a Mercedes. Come on people! This car has got to have some damage to it. Maybe someone saw a BMW/Mercedes on the side of the road checking out the front of their car, maybe someone has brought this car to a body shop or a carwash for repair and cleaning, maybe a neighbor knows someone who drives a car like this and now all of a sudden they are keeping it in the garage and not driving it. Maybe you were a passenger in this car and saw the whole thing. We need anything that can give us the clues we need to bring this person to justice immediately!!! Even if you think it is irrelevent. IF EVERYONE post this info on FB, surely there has to be a truck driver, a mechanic, a neighbor, a friend who knows a friend.......Someone who knows about this car! Let's find this person PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-post so that this circulates as much as possible!! Lets use FB for what it is intended, networking. And lets network to everyone we can so that we can stand strong against this type of horrendous tragedy and cruelty- lets bring this person to justice for the Atkins/Halbrooks Family ASAP!
