I don't know how to attach a photo and have the "warning post-mortem" overlay. But there is a post-mortem photo in Namus.

Is there a chance her last name is Etts and she is using a fake last name? Could she be the Kaitlyn Etts from Michigan?

Idk but the area she was hit is literally always busy as it is where 5, 10, 101, and the 60 all split off
