I ' ve got an uncle who knew the drunk driver ' s father . Apparently her parents were in some kind of divorce or separation phase and there was definitely a powerplay going on between the mother and father . When she was learning how to drive , the father thought that she was such an irresponsible and terrible driver that he stopped teaching her until she would be more responsible . Later , when she asked if he could buy her a car , he responded with a staunch no since he felt that she was a complete danger on the road . However , when she asked her mother if she could buy her a car , she said yes hoping that her daughter would take more of a liking to her compared to her father . It was just a few weeks later that she killed those two girls .
