Family of fatal hit-and-run victim pleads for answers

LOGAN (WPVI) -- Police continue to search for a hit-and-run driver who killed a woman last week in Philadelphia's Logan section and the victim's family spoke to Action News.

"She used to call me every day," said Alice Bolden, mother.

Bolden can't hear her daughter's voice anymore.

Last Friday morning around 5:00 a.m., her daughter 45-year-old Annette Bolden was killed after being hit by three cars on the 4600 block of North Broad Street.

The drivers of the second and third car that hit already spoke to police but investigators are still trying to find the driver of the first car.

"Nobody came forward yet. They haven't gotten the car or nothing, just left her there," said Bolden.

"It's cruel for someone to go out this way. We want closure, that's all we want," said Sheila Bolden, aunt.

Police are looking for a white car with red lights across the back, similar to a Dodge Dart. The car is expected to have heavy front end damage.

The victim's family is hoping the driver can give them some answers as to why Annette was found lying topless in the street.

"That night when she got hurt, I think there was more to it," said Sheila.

Annette's body remains in the morgue. Her family is unsure, at this point, how they will be able to bury her.

It has been a summer full of tragedy for them. They are related to the family of Keisha Williams, who was killed along with her three children, when a carjacked vehicle ran them over in July.

"We just had tragedy. We just want this tragedy, whoever did this to come forward," said Sheila.

For now they think about the life Annette left behind and her 4-year-old daughter.

"I know she was a nice beautiful daughter," said Bolden.

"She was a good person, laughing all the time - happy, she was a good person," said Sheila.
