It has taken 81 days, but today there will be justice for Faith Sinclair.
Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green will announce charges have been filed in connection with the hit-and-run that snuffed out the life of the promising 16-year-old.
A suspect is expected to surrender to Sharon Hill Police this morning.
It was back on Aug. 3, a Sunday night, when the Ridley teen and a group of friends tried to cross Chester Pike at Laurel Road in Sharon Hill.
She didn’t make it. Sinclair was struck by a black Mercedes. The driver did not stop.
In the investigation that followed, police tracked down the car they believe was the vehicle that struck Sinclair. It had front-end damage police said was what they would expect, a missing side-view mirror, a smashed windshield.
They knew who owned the vehicle. He was termed a “person of interest” in the case. But they did not know who was driving. No charges were filed.
A $10,000 reward was posted for information by the Citizens Crime Commission.
The county utilized the Investigative Grand Jury to hear from potential witnesses in the case.
One word seemed to surround the mystery of what happened that night. Silence.
That silence will be broken today. We likely will learn the identity of the person police believe struck Faith Sinclair, and then simply drove off.
It has been more than two months, a time in which Sinclair’s friends and family were unable to ease their pain, without the knowledge of who was responsible for her death.
That should end today. Because today there will be justice for Faith Sinclair.
