NEW YORK (AP) – The parents of a motorcyclist killed in a traffic crash that involved an American diplomat’s wife took their case directly to U.S. audiences Monday, holding a New York news conference at which they urged the woman to return to Britain.
The parents of Harry Dunn have reached out to American politicians and plan to be in Washington on Wednesday and Thursday in their quest to get the woman back to the U.K. “to present herself to police,” family spokesman Radd Seiger said.
If that occurs, the family indicated, it would be willing to speak with her there.
Charlotte Charles, Dunn’s mother, tearfully urged the diplomat’s wife, Anne Sacoolas, to “do the right thing” and to “face us as a broken family,” along with the U.K. legal system.
“She needs to set an example to her own children that you can’t run away,” Charles said.
