Family looks for answers 2 years after fatal crash - KXLT - Fox 47 Rochester MN News, Weather and Sports

KELLOGG, Minn. (FOX 47) -- It has been more than two years and no one has been held accountable in the death of Jamie Tod Packer.  The 30-year-old was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run between Wabasha and Nelson, Wis. in July of 2010.

Buffalo County is handling the investigation. Investigators continue to search for a vehicle matching the description given that night but have come up empty.

Meanwhile, Jamie's parents are not giving up.  The cross with Jamie's name still stands along Wis. Highway 25 near the location of where his body was found by his sister on the tragic July night.

"She was basically waiting for his phone call -- didn't hear from him," said Jamie's mother Barb Packer. "She had set out to go and look for him."

Jamie's sister and his friend found Jamie lying down on the road.

"The car behind them is the one that actually ran Jamie over," said Packer.

Because the incident was on the Wisconsin side of he border, Jamie's ambulance was dispatched from Alma. 

"He had to wait pretty close to 30 minutes for that ambulance to arrive to take him to Wabasha, which is three miles away," said Jamie's father Larry Packer.

Larry and Barb relentlessly continue their search for justice. 

"So right now we're sitting with a lot of hearsay and not physical evidence," said Barb Packer.

The two have posted flyers across the region and created a Facebook page titled "Justice for Jamie Tod Packer", which now has more than 1,300 followers. 

Barb Packer says she believes someone out there has to know something.

"A family member of the guilty people -- they're probably more credible than, maybe, the guy's best friend," she said.

No matter who it is, Larry and Barb Packer are hoping someone comes forward.
