Scottsdale police close decades-old hit-and-run case after suspect identified

By NE Valley Times | Jun 1, 2024

On July 29, 1994, a fatal traffic collision occurred in the north area of Scottsdale. The victim, Angela Maher, was a 21-year-old woman who was home from college visiting her mother for her birthday. The evening of her death, she was on her way to Old Town to pick up a friend who had called for a ride home from a local nightclub because they had been drinking. What is sadly ironic about this crime is that while attending Xavier College Preparatory High School, Maher founded a chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD).
