There, five years ago, Parkhurst walked into a local police station to confess to the 1968 hit-and-run death of Carolee Ashby. And now, in a Hollywood twist, Parkhurst has been killed saving children from a car. A motorist who witnessed the accident later told Fulton police that he believed a teddy bear had been hit and thrown. In a written statement, Parkhurst explained that he had been drinking with his brothers before he started driving his car. … I don’t remember seeing any kids but I believe in my heart I hit the little Ashby girl with my car.
