LAKELAND, Fla. - After 14 years, authorities thought they had arrested the man responsible for a drunk-driving crash that killed a Polk County couple.
However, it turns out, it was the wrong guy – a crushing blow to loved ones who thought they finally had closure.For two days, family and friends of Danny and Patricia McCown thought the wait was over.
Now it feels like their wounds have been ripped back open."There is no word to describe that better than ‘devastating,’" said Michele Pennington, the McCowns' daughter. "Emotionally it feels like 14 years ago."On June 30, 2007, the McCowns were hit and killed by a drunk driver.
