Through witness testimonies and collected evidence at the scene, investigators pinpointed a Dodge Ram pickup truck as the vehicle that hit Gordon. The truck, bearing damage consistent with the incident, was located at a Duxbury residence and led to Blackmore's arrest following the retrieval of an arrest warrant by the Massachusetts State Police.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague led the prosecution of this case which, involved collaborative efforts from the Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office, the Duxbury Police, and the Massachusetts State Police Collision, Analysis and Reconstruction Section. Blackmore is due for sentencing tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Plymouth Superior Court.
