He was criminally charged with it. And so he is incredibly drunk. He drank a lot. I talked with people that knew the family. He had been sneaking beer since he was eight years old. And at a certain point, not even sneaking them. So he was very, very drunk. He had 19 drinks that night. His BAC when he got to the hospital was .286.

But he was a person, even at 19, who'd been drinking for numbers of years and had been driving drunk for numbers of years, according to people I talked to who were involved in wrecks with him before. So he gets angry at his girlfriend, who's one of the passengers on the boat, confronts her. She says, you're too drunk to drive. Give everybody the keys. Slaps her, spits in her face.

goes back to the wheel of the boat and floors it, the equivalent of 28 miles an hour. And they're going through a very narrow, very shallow path and hit a bridge that fast. And Mallory is thrown overboard and never resurfaces. And what all the evidence, I've got thousands of pages of documents, some of them public, many of them public.

that had not been reviewed before that just showed that there was... When Ellick got to the hospital that night where these young people had been on the boat was, he went room to room to room trying to get everyone on the same page. He had his grandfather, Old Buster's badge outside of his pocket, pretending to be a law enforcement officer.

And I have his cell phone records and have tracked his path that night. Do you remember when he testified that he put blue lights and siren on the Suburban that he was driving? Yeah. It was almost physically impossible for him to get from Moselle, where he and Maggie were living at the time, to the hospital unless he was going fabulously fast, 80 or 90 miles an hour.

And I think it stands to reason, and I argue this in the book, that he almost certainly used lights. to get to the hospital before the other families and get everyone on the same page. But it really was his undoing.

The reason that he said he wanted to live in old Buster's time is that, you know, there was so much evidence in the video cameras in the hospital that night, so many statements, there was so much, everything is recorded, right? You know, and he could not outrun modernity. And in the end, that night and his actions, the night of the boat wreck, really was the beginning of the end of the family.
