LEAGUE CITY, Texas — The mother of man killed in a hit-and-run Sunday said someone left a handwritten note of apology beside her son’s body.

"They said that they were sorry and that they had a family," said Roberta Jones. "But he had one. you know and he was my family."

Two days after Maurice Jones was found dead in a ditch along Dickinson Avenue, police were still searching for the person responsible.

They won't release many details about the note, but it contained information that leads them to believe the suspect might be a woman under age 40 with a newborn baby.

1. Oh my.

:wow:

That's worse than not leaving a note at all.

It's also brilliantly stupid to leave a handwritten note, but beyond that - I mean, my God.

I wonder if the criminal wrote the note on a bank deposit slip or something equally stupid.

2. Maybe she wrote it on the back of a prescription.

Might be able to tell by the type of med. Half serious.

3. Well, as long as her conscience is clear.

4. The note just makes it all OK, doesn't it?

How disgraceful. Pretty much everyone has a family, whether you want to claim them or not.

People are truly disgraceful. How did they know the person they hit was dead? Maybe he could have been saved if they'd called for help.

RIP, Maurice.

5. If she's identified, be prepared for a major sob story to trivialize the consequences of her choice

6. check the handwriting on the note

to see if it matches Clara Harris'

(only half joking, has she been let out yet or not?)
