Mistaken Identity....du du duuuu!

So i know this is probably a bad idea, but i have started another book, hoping that it will not interfere with the other 2 books I am trying to read. If you live in Indiana, you probably have heard about this story. Right off the back, it tell you the end result, and then tells the story of what happend. So in the first chapter, it explains how this story on April 2006, a tragic car accident claimed the lives of several college students in Indiana, and put others in the hospital with critical injuries. Also to find out that 2 of the people where victims of mistaken identity! The story is told in 3rd person, but does a good job of being specific so you can really picture everything happening, and the emotions that the families felt. Whitney was a 2005 high school graduate, attending college near Ft. Wayne, Indiana. She was the kind of girl that loved everyone and everyone loved her. Her mom is a teacher at one of the local schools and her dad is an assistant pastor at a church, so most of the town knows the family. You can tell that Whitneys family was very religious, because as soon as they heard rumors, to the actual phone call announcing that her daughter had died, all the could do was pray, which at times brought me to tears. I couldnt even imagine hearing such news. The only thing that is confusing me is how the family didnt go to her and confirm that it was her....becasue it obviously was not.
