ALERT: Sheriff allegedly tried to frame the killing of a 16-year-old high school girl as a hit-and-run after he ran her over. Persephone Berger was found lying in the road after sneaking out of her house to attend a party in Missouri. Jarred Berger, Persephone’s father, was allegedly told by the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Office that her daughter was the victim of a hit-and-run, according to her aunt, Kimberly Cabuchola. But the preliminary autopsy revealed that the injuries she sustained were consistent with those sustained from the responding Deputy’s vehicle,” Cabuchola says she would not have been angry and “accidents happen” if the 23-year-old deputy, who has been with them for only 3 months, had been transparent with the family. The Missouri State Highway Patrol has taken over the investigation and is waiting for Persephone’s toxicology report and a full autopsy.
