Fatal, Not Final: A True Story

By Tracie Luthi

In June 1990, seventeen-year-old Roice was killed in a car accident on a dark mountain road above Alamogordo, New Mexico. His death left a family grieving, questions unanswered, and a story that would remain untold for decades. Thirty years later, when Tracie's daughter Aili reached the age Roice had been when he died, the two found themselves talking about that night again, and wanting to know more. Together, they began searching for the people who had been there that night. What they discovered would reshape the story Tracie had carried for decades-and lead her down a path she never expected. As pieces of Roice's story began to emerge, Tracie began to see how one death can shape a family for generations, and how the questions left behind by tragedy and grief can lead us to unexpected answers. Fatal, Not Final is a true story of loss, memory, family, and faith-and a discovery that the end of one's life does not mean the end of one's story.
