Nikki Catsouras was just 18 years old last Halloween when she took her father’s Porsche without permission and while driving 100 miles an hour clipped another car, lost control and slammed into a cement tollbooth. She was killed instantly. Her parent, Christos and Lesli Catsouras were devastated with grief and thought things could not get worse but that is where they were wrong.
Nikki’s parents are suing California Highway Patrol for leaking accident scene photos that ended up all over the internet. The girls parents have been tormented by anonymous e-mail’s that contain pictures of their daughter at the accident scene. One horrific photo shows the dead teen decapitated and still strapped in the front seat of her father’s Porsche.
The pictures made there way to over 1,600 online websites. The family no longer uses the internet and has pulled their 16 year old daughter from school because they fear other students might confront her with the pictures. She is now being home schooled.
A judge in California ruled that the lawsuit against the California Highway Patrol could go forward. The CHP, in a letter to the Catsouras family, admitted that their dispatchers violated department policy but stated that they are not legally responsible for the pain and anguish that it caused the family. That won’t be for the CHP to determine - but will be up to the courts to decide.
ABC News featured the story last night on their 20/20 TV program. We’ve included additional pictures. Click each thumbnail photo for an enlarged view.

I just wanted everyone to know that one of the attorneys involved in this case, R. Rex Parris is running for Mayor of Lancaster California. This man has ridiculed the family, called them “silly” and “emotional” in the press, and has ardently defended the right of people to post these disgusting photo’s all over the internet.
