Crimestoppers Focuses On An Unsolved 2006 City Hit And Run

Police are trying to get someone to come forward so they can find who was responsible for a hit and run death in East Saint John back on December 9th of 2006. Crimestoppers is focusing on the tragic death of 70 year old Gilbert Savoie of 3291 Loch Lomand Road who was struck and killed by a car outside his home after being dropped off by a friend shortly before 10:30 at night. Marlene Savoie tells CHSJ News the shock of losing her husband like that is just unbelievable.

She says unless you have been through it no one can believe the shock when your soulmate is gone.
Savoie says you have nothing to get up for in the morning except to find out who did this and wrecked your life.

The car in question was a beige 1992 to 1995 Mazda which likely had damage to its front fender, hood and windshield. Police suspect a local autobody or windshield repair shop may have worked on it. If you can help with the investigation by providing any information to find the driver, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-tips.
