It’s amazing how much information suddenly becomes available when you attach $10,000 to it.
Acting on several tips, police now believe they have recovered the black Mercedes that struck and killed 16-year-old Faith Sinclair in Sharon Hill Sunday night.
Authorities executed a search warrant for a garage behind a home in the 300 block of State Road in Upper Darby Wednesday afternoon. There, covered by a black tarp, was a damaged black S-type 2000 Mercedes Benz. It is believed the windows on the garage recently were tinted black.
Police confirm that the damage visible on the car was consistent with what would be expected on the car involved in the hit-run.
What they don’t know – at least not yet – is who owns the car and who was driving it on Sunday night.
They are expected to execute another search warrant at the home today.
Yesterday police made a plea for the owner of the car to come forward.
Police went to the Upper Darby neighborhood after getting a series of tip calls. One came into Sharon Hill Police. Three others were fielded by the Citizens Crime Commission. They had posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
Amazingly, the mother of the victim, Faith Sinclair, already is sounding a note of forgiveness in the case. She simply wants the driver to come forward.
She will bury her 16-year-old daughter on Friday. By that time, she may well know who was responsible for the hit-run accident the snuffed out such a promising young life.
