and found police at an accident scene where their
daughter’s body had been found.
“Officers talked with two motorists who saw
the body on the bridge. One of them had struck the
child,” said Senior Cpl. Cheryl Con very, a police
spokeswoman.
Convery said the family’s car doors have child-
safety locks, and the windows on the rear doors do
not roll all the way down.
There have been no charges or arrests, she said.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office
ruled the death an accident by blunt-force trauma,
but there was no word on whether the child died
upon impact with the pavement or on being sub
sequently struck.
Family members said Suarez had dropped off
her son, Patrick Suarez, 6, at his grandmother’s
East Dallas home. They told police that it must
have been on the return trip that Amanda ended up
on the street.
"The doors were locked and there’s no air con
ditioner, but the windows were down,” Michelle
Dominguez, the girl’s godmother, told The Dallas
Morning News on Sunday. “We’re thinking that
maybe she got up and out of her seat belt and fell,
(but) we don’t know.”
Child Protective Services has begun an inves
tigation of the Estrada-Suarez home, said spokes
woman Marleigh Meisner.

“1 shocked the world,” said
Hearne, a state police officer, wav

he rode atop the pickup about noon
Sunday as reporters from as far
away as New York and London
pressed near.
Cynthia Mesker let go shortly
before midnight Saturday in a fit of
disorientation and dementia.
Twelve hours later, Longview el
ementary school teacher Linda
Mangrum walked away, too, leav
ing only the man who called him
self "The Shark” to bask in the glow
of TV cameras and cheering sup
porters.
At 11:40 a.m. Sunday, Mangrum
lifted her gloved hands and walked
to a cot where she collapsed into a
coma-like sleep.
