Last week, SF Weekly detailed the sad story of Donald Casper, a San Francisco lawyer and member of the city's Civil Service Commission who was killed in a hit an run as he jogged along a Sonoma County roadway.
Police are now offering a $12,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the driver who sped off, leaving the 63-year-old Casper bleeding on the side of the road. The California Highway Patrol are looking for a 2004 to 2008, white four-door F-150 XLT or Lariat with a gold band around the bottom. The truck will possibly have damage to its right bumper.
Casper served in the Civil Service Commission for the past 11 years, arbitrating labor disputes and establishing wages, work rules, and
benefits for city employees. But his most notable brush with the public came when he refused to acquiesce to then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to sell off a state buildings
for some quick cash only to lease them back at a major loss to taxpayers.
Casper, an avid runner, was visiting friends in the town of Forestville when he decide to go for an evening run. He left shortly before 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug.14. He was gone for 90 minutes when his friend, Linda, went looking for him.
She found his body on the side of the road, with skid marks nearby.
Korbel Champagne Cellars captured surveillance of the white truck that police believe killed Casper.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Robert Mota, or detective Michael Phennicie at (707) 588-1400.
