Family still seeking answers year after motorcycle tragedy

Roy Redmon, 68, was a retired sheriff's deputy. He and Mary Ann, 65, were from Rowland Heights, Calif. They are survived by five children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The grandchildren are the ones who have been most vocal about asking why the accident happened, Yvone Redmon said.

Investigators believe the driver who initially stopped and said he thought he might have hit someone was in his late 60s, very tall and thin, and was wearing Bermuda shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and wire-framed glasses. Police believe he was driving a white vehicle, possibly a Subaru Outback or station-wagon type of vehicle.

The Redmon family had considered traveling to Utah to mark the one-year anniversary of their parents' deaths. But instead, they planned to hold a family dinner in California following a trip to the cemetery.

Although there was some thought that the mystery driver may have been from the Kanosh area, Yvone Redmon realized he could have also been passing through like her parents were and could be anywhere in the country now.

She still calls the Utah Highway Patrol every other month asking for any updates. Lately, all they've been able to tell her is there's nothing new to report.

"It's just puzzling. How could a human being walk away? I would like this person to respect us and come forward," she said.

Anyone with information on the accident can call the UHP at 887-3800.
