The Flores family has been waiting on updates from the Rochester Police Department about the crash that took their daughter’s life, but as of now, they say they’ve gotten no information on the official investigation, so they’ve taken matters into their own hands.

The private investigation is still in the early stages, and lawyers are still hoping to work together with RPD as they look into the case.

“Any tragic case especially, there’s a lot of rumor mill information, there’s a lot of things that get passed around, and they just want to deal in fact and what actually happened to their daughter,” said attorney Dan McIntosh.

In response to the ongoing investigation, Rochester Police provided a statement saying:

“The investigative process for fatal crashes is extensive and can require significant time and resources. We understand the need for facts surrounding this crash, and we are committed to finding them. We expect to complete our investigation by the end of the month. We once again extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Olivia Flores.”
