Later in the day officers talked to her on the phone and then went to her daughter's house where she was staying.
The report says through the investigation it was linked that the mirror found at the crash scene matched the one from Despain's Ford and that the yellow "paint" on her Ford was a match for the yellow from Billotte's vest and pants.
