Summary

In the close-knit farming community of Fillmore, California, 19-year-old Valerie Zavala spent the last hours of 2002 surrounded by friends and acquaintances celebrating New Years Eve. An hour into the new year, Valerie noticed her friend Anna was very drunk. True to her caring nature, Valerie offered to drive Anna’s car and take her home. Another partygoer asked for a ride and Valerie graciously agreed. As she left the party with her two passengers, no one could predict it would be the last time Valerie Zavala would be seen alive.
