In a case of mistaken identity, an officer arrived at the couple's Palmer home some 80 kilometres outside Anchorage about 3 am on Thursday and told them that their son, Justin Priest, had died in a car crash a few hours earlier, Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said. The grief-stricken parents, Jay and Karen, then drove to Anchorage to deliver the news of their son's death to his brother, Cody, and to Justin's long-time girlfriend, who lived with him. But Justin answered the door instead and was equally startled to see his parents and brother crying and shouting at 5:30 am, the Alaska Dispatch News reported after interviewing the family about the mix-up. "It's Justin! Praise Jesus, we thought you were dead," the newspaper quoted his father as saying at the time. "You're alive!" his mother shouted, according to the newspaper. The Juneau Police Department said it had contacted the wrong Priest family while trying to identify the next of kin for 33-year-old Juneau resident Justin Donald Priest, who was the real victim from the car crash. |
