- Sykes, who already faced four prior DUIs, explained her actions by claiming heavy drinking led to memory loss regarding the entire incident.
- The driver ultimately received a 28-year prison sentence, but the surviving sister, De-Lisha, was fatally shot in an unrelated crime weeks after the sentencing.
- The episode reviews the police investigation, Sykes’ confirmed BAC of 0.081, and her documented history of severe alcohol abuse.
This session details the gruesome events of a high-speed fatal hit-and-run, the emotional and legal struggle of Stephanie Sykes facing severe charges, and the devastating lingering impact on the victims' family following related and unrelated violence.

On the 3rd DUI there should've been prison time. Justice system needs an overhaul
She was giving tooooo many chances. 4 DUI is insane
What a horrible story. Those poor girls.
There is no reason she should have been free to do this with 4 previous DUI’s.
Crazy part is I know numerous people that can't handle their alcohol, and drink till it's nothing left, instead of simply getting a buzz! I won't let them drink and drive while around me. PEOPLE, PLEASE, don't allow your family/friends to drink and drive. 💯
They bodycam video on the scene told me everything I needed to know about her
We dont take DUI seriously until the final "accident."
She uses "l don't remember" as a voucher that absolves her of all guilt. She never expressed any remorse, and the tears are self-serving
It’s sad a person can get away with drunk driving until they kill somebody
