More evidence in Orange accident case

Orange (WTNH) - News Channel 8 is learning more about an accident involving a Milford police officer that killed two teens from Orange last month. But, there are still many unanswered questions.

Through the search and seizure warrant, State Police recovered the powertrain control module of the Ford Crown Victoria that Milford police officer Jason Anderson was driving on June 13. That records things like speed and the condition of the brakes and will help shed light on what happened just before that police cruiser struck the Mazda, killing 19-year-olds Dave Servin and Ashlie Krakowski of Orange.

"You let the evidence determine what direction you're going in, you let the evidence make the determination as to whether you're building blocks for probable cause," Lieutenant J. Paul Vance from State Police said.

The search warrant was granted as part of a negligent homicide investigation. Does that mean an arrest will soon follow?

State police say, legally, they must be specific when they apply for a warrant. That doesn't necessarily mean anyone will be charged with negligent homicide.

"We do that as a matter of procedure, it means nothing more, nothing less, it shouldn't be misleading," Vance said.

State Police are going to great lengths to make sure they leave no stone unturned. This is such a high-profile case. Forensic scientist Dr. Henry C. Lee has already agreed to review the evidence when the investigation is complete.

Police have also taken DNA samples from both cars as well as blood and saliva samples. They also uncovered three small bags of marijuana from Servin's clothing. But at this point, we do not even know who was driving the Mazda or which driver caused the fatal collision.

"It's absolutely imperative to understand that we're doing a complete and thorough investigation on everything to do with this crash," Vance said.
