Cindreia Europe died when a Utah officer with a history of bad driving ran her over. How did this happen?

She’d been gone since Sept. 10, 2017, when Europe left her mom’s home in Georgia without much luggage and no fanfare. LaTonya Mack said her daughter just drove away on that otherwise normal Sunday. Mack said she knew the situation was serious when she discovered Europe had left behind her beloved stuffed animal, a bear also named Cindreia, giving it to the family dog, who promptly destroyed it.

Mack said she hadn’t heard from Europe since that day, but she has spoken with psychics, and had her cards read, and everything foretold Europe returning soon.
