Police, the Blair County District Attorney’s office, state police and some outside reconstructionists, all working together to gather substantial evidence that would result in the arrest of Tarence Mosey Wednesday morning.

“Every investigation is different,” said First Assistant District Attorney Jackie Bernard.  “Every investigation has its own challenges to being thorough.  Obbiously we wanted to be certain that whatever charges were able to be filed that we were able to substantiate the proof of those and that we gave every opportunity for a fair evaluation of the facts.”

“We have a lot of faith in Logan Township and Jackie Bernard and we feel that they’re doing everything necessary to make sure that justice is served,” said Sam Paule, victim Brandyn Boyd’s life partner.

“A crash investigation of this magnitude is extremely time consuming as each facet of the incident is examined,” said Logan Township Police Chief Tim Mercer. “Numerous measurements and photographs are collected, and diagrams are drawn.”

Police also used computer models to determine the speed of the vehicle involved and the points of impact on the bridge.

Chief Mercer said it’s another tragedy that could have been avoided.  All Mosey had to do was brake in time.

“This is an extremely tragic and senseless death of a young woman in the prime of her life that was expecting a child,” Mercer said. “No amount of crash reconstruction or filing of charges will ever bring back Brandyn or her unborn child, Laura Lynn, nor ease the pain and suffering the her family and friends must now endure.”

Mosey’s blood alcohol level was a .10.  He’s facing numerous charges, including homicide by vehicle, DUI, and aggravated assault while DUI, amongst related charges. If convicted, he could face a minimum three years behind bars.

The charges he faces are all as a result of his actions against Brandyn, not her unborn child.  Investigators found that is due to state vehicle codes.

“In this particular case, although Laura Lynn is no longer with us, under the vehicle code there is no ablity to have an applicable statute that accounts for her death,” Bernard said.  Investigators would need to prove the incident was malicious.

Paule said she and Boyd’s family members intend to go to legislators and the Pro-Life Coalition to try to change the law so it would protect unborn children.

Mosey is expected back in court September 6th.
