The Porsche Girl and her demise

Quote :

Nikki Catsouras was killed in a horrible car crash on Halloween day of 2006. The 18-year-old Orange County, California, resident had been driving her fatherâ€s black Porsche 911 Carrera at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour when she lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a concrete tollbooth. She was killed instantly, and, much to her familyâ€s horror, nine grisly Nikki Catsouras car crash photos found their way onto the Internet and went viral.
A few days after the accident, Nikkiâ€s father, Christos, who is a real estate agent, opened an e-mail that he thought to be a property listing. But that was far form the case. Instead, what he saw his daughter Nikkiâ€s blood-covered face accompanied by the following caption: “Whoohoo Daddy! Hey Daddy, Iâ€m still alive.” - from AC
Nikki, 18, had taken her fatherâ€s Porsche without permission and, moving at speeds estimated at 100 mph, was killed when she lost control of the sports car and slammed into a concrete toll booth on the 241 toll road in Lake Forest. Soon, nine images of her nearly decapitated body began appearing on Web sites and in e-mails sent anonymously to her family. Some who posted Web site comments or sent e-mails taunted the family; parents Lesli and Christos and three younger sisters. - from OC
Two California Highway Patrol (CHP) dispatchers, 39 year old Thomas Oâ€Donnell and 30 year old Aaron Reich, leaked pictures of the accident scene and Nikkiâ€s horrific death onto the Internet.
The teen was immortalized in a sub-culture of morbidity and dubbed “Porsche Girl.”
Within days of Nikkiâ€s death, the Catsourases were deluged with emails and text messages accompanying the grisly accident scene photos of their once-living 18 year old daughter. Some of the text messages and emails sent by mysterious cyber bulllies said, “What a waste of a Porsche” , “Whoo-hoo! Iâ€m still alive!”, and “that spoiled rich girl deserved it.”

Ya know, I have seen all of those photos in their glory and it's really too bad. I mean, it's just awful and gruesome and I really don't want to see those kind of photos surface onto the 'net. So uhh what do y'all think of this?

I don't mind it. Or I don't think people should write shit like that to her father. But I don't mind pictures on the internet.

(Btw, don't click if you don't like blood/a corpse in a car. Strong pictures.)

Hail charonboat.

It`s horrible and tragic, imo.

It's horrible that they've made there way to the internet. I don't really feel bad for the girl though. I mean she took a car without permisson and endangered others. She could have killed anyone on that road that day, but luckly rather than killing innocent people she took her own life. It's sad anyone was killed in this situation, but being someone did have to die luckly it wasn't someone innocent. When someone is driving down a road drunk and wrecks killing theirself I have no remorse and in my opinion this accident is much like a DUI.

I agree.

i think the dispatchers should lose their jobs at least.

The dispatchers should no longer have a job, The family should at least sue them for the emotional damage that they have caused them. And the people that are sending the text messages and emails show just how pathetic they are. Granted, she brought this situation on the family through her actions. Other people should at least respect the family and not be essentially taunting them.

you know...guh. this is just horrible. i mean i know the girl was wrong taking her dads car, but those cops and other people shouldnt have done what they did. she died in 2006, her parents are already traumatized enough. they dont need other people reminding them of what happened. the people who dispatched it should definately be sued.

but shit horrible stuff there. poor girl.

^^that`s exactly what I`m thinking. imagine what nightmare this girl`s parents have been going through..

I don't think her parents should have to suffer more for what is quite frankly her stupid mistake. Knowing that you're daughter is dead is not something I'd wish on anyone anyway but sending the pictures is a bit far.

I agree

The internet is like a bad inner city neighborhood, you never know what stupid shit you're going to run into that point aside I think putting those pictures out there shows a lack of taste and honor and I hope whoever sent those horrible photos to that girl's dad get's sodomized by a heated tire iron and then have photos of it sent directly to their love ones, it's only fair

Stupid bitch should have been driving the speed limit like the rest of us.
Shit happens.

really blows for the family... and the ppl who are sending them the photos are just fucking retarded...

but i do not absolutly at all feel any remorse for the girl... im a darwanist so yeah
