The Story that got me here...

This page is for Bill Lee, my big brother, being set up to tell his story, get the word out for fundraisers, make it easy to keep friends/family in the know and most importantly to tell the events of the incident so that the person responsible can be caught.
On the morning of September 15, 2011 Bill was on a leisurely motorcycle ride from his home in Wittman north towards Kingman. While on Hwy 93, between the turnoffs to Congress and Bagdad, a vehicle was seen heading north at speeds around 100-110MPH by drivers up to two miles behind Bill... no one saw Bill get hit. They saw this vehicle pass them and then they came upon my brothers bloody body under the guardrail on the southbound lane.. pieces of his bike were about 40ft south of him and his bike was some 300ft north.

The DPS officer made a horrible report. He did not investigate. He took and kept Bill's wallet and phone and never made an attempt to call family, sending him via helicopter to JCL as a John Doe. Thankfully a respiratory therapist he worked with at Del Webb hospital recognized him. 
This is horrible, however, the worst part is the failure to investigate.  The report has false information and claims a fatality. It says the accident was a single vehicle. How can this be?? No one actually saw it, but broken pieces from his bike were found about 40ft south of his bloody body and the bike was about 300ft north of his body. Physics does not support the DPS report. The pictures do not support the officers report. However, the SGT stands behind his officer.
We need to get the word out. We need this story shared so that the person who drives like a maniac on a regular basis from Wickenburg to Kingman on Hwy 93. They are going 100-110MPH. They were driving an Infiniti about 1998 body style. Black in color with clear coat oxidation. 4-door sedan. Possibly a young short female. This description was given by to drivers who this car had flown by before they came upon Bill's body under the guardrail in a pool of blood. Both of the drivers went to police stations later and gave additional witness statements about this driver. They both spoke to the DPS officer on scene also. 

No investigation was performed. 
At approximately 10pm that same night, one of those drivers was heading home on the same highway and believes to have seen that vehicle pulled over by an officer. The road has been resurfaced so any road evidence is long gone. I am praying that the word of this accident becomes so familiar that one day the driver will be talking about it and someone who has seen this report will turn them into the Police or contact us so that we can pursue  justice for Bill. We have contacted attorneys only to be told that we do not have enough concrete information.
 I honestly believe that the vehicle is being hid somewhere in or around Wickenburg, Arizona.. and I hope that every person who is heading around there, to Las Vegas, Kingman or the area will keep an eye out, get a plate number and contact our family! Thank you in advance for spreading the word and supporting Bill!
The fundraisers are to help Bill with medical Bills and such! He has to go to a specialist in Minnesota the end of April. He cannot go alone and his wife has no more time off available, so I will be escorting him. 

Bill had just began working at Banner in May 2011, he does not qualify for any programs because he had not been there long enough. No short term or long term disability, no FMLA... nothing! He has been terminated from his job due to not being able to perform CPR.
His right arm does not work due to major brachial plexus damage. He endured much damage on his body. He has had surgeries on his back and his ribs, his face had to be sewn back, there is a long list as he spent September 15 to Mid November in the hospital. He will never have his quality of life back!
 We are having many fundraisers in and around Surprise, Arizona which will be posted on this page and the facebook pages. Thank you for your assistance with getting the word out to everyone, prayers for recovery and financial support.
