Father of Danbury Hit-and-Run Victim Speaks Out

The father of a Bethel woman killed in a hit-and-run accident father is making a desperate plea to the driver who killed his daughter.

Rachel Sack was struck on South Street in Danbury one week ago. Police are still searching for her killer.

"My daughter did fantastic things when she was on this earth," said Gerard Sack, who on Friday visited the scene where his daughter was killed. "Time is running out. There are people around the world looking for you."

The best clue so far is the video of a white van seen in the area of Great Pasture Road and South Street just before midnight last Friday.

"This particular van in subject had split doors on the passenger side and on these doors which makes it more unique is they had glass windows," Sack added, describing the van investigators are searching for.

He also pleaded to the community to say something if they've seen a white van of any kind.

"We would think by now that this person with this white van could remember they drove by the area. They just have to go in and clear their name if they're totally innocent," Sack said.

Family members said Rachel was leaving Michael's Cafe and heading home to Bethel when someone struck here near this Danbury intersection. Now her parents are left to care for her son, 9 week old Jackson.

"All I have is nothing but pride for her," Gerard said, proud to know his daughter was best suited for her job as a nurse's assistant. "She may have even helped out your mother or your father. She was there and she was a loving, loving girl doing that."

Now this living father just wants his heart-wrenching wait to end.

"I'm not going to forgive somebody who just turns their back on my little girl," Sack added.

There's also a $1,000 reward for any information that would help police in this case.

Anyone with information should call Danbury police.
