00:00:12.260 footage of body cam footage of a woman laughing after killing two people so if you ever feel bad

00:00:20.740 about women treating you terribly just know it's not personal it's not about you guys we have these

00:00:26.500 either evil demons lack of accountability who knows why we are the way we are it doesn't really

00:00:30.960 matter i've always felt like that's kind of a waste of time to talk about that but for whatever 0.99

00:00:35.580 reason women are just terrible people and we're terrible to everybody including ourselves including 0.99

00:00:39.940 each other and apparently these random people on the road all on body being completely careless 1.00

00:00:44.400 about killing two people tonight you could care less that's sad and pathetic 0.94

00:00:49.600 and my car got hit and then someone said oh someone else just said i'm just like oh my god 0.99

00:00:58.100 how did that happen keep blowing till you hear the machine click okay all right yes ma'am you

00:01:03.580 are under arrest for dui come right over here i'm gonna spend at least five hundred dollars

00:01:08.760 i'm gonna start off with you haven't had enough of drinking already we're talking about vegas

00:01:17.680 college senior stephanie malgoza went out for a night of partying on april 10th 2022 1.00

00:01:26.440 with only four weeks left before graduation she was planning a trip to las vegas to celebrate 0.93

00:01:32.360 her birthday and a new beginning enjoying her evening she'd already left one drinking 0.58

00:01:37.460 establishment and was on her way to another little did she know dude it's so crazy because

00:01:43.080 i grew up okay when i was young um i remember uber came out when i was around 18 so 10 years ago

00:01:49.320 there is no excuse now not to take an uber zero excuse like what are you what are you ladies doing

00:01:58.420 you don't have to do this however one extremely poor split second decision was about to change

00:02:05.000 the lives of many in a most horrific way two unsuspecting victims had no idea that they were

00:02:11.460 about to cross paths with extreme danger. East Peoria police have just been dispatched to the

00:02:17.680 scene shortly after Stephanie herself placed the 911 call to report an accident to authorities.

00:02:24.260 Upon arrival, officers frantically attempt to make sense of a dire situation as they evaluate the

00:02:30.080 absolute disaster before them. It's likely that this scene ranks among the most gruesome they've

00:02:35.740 ever encountered among the wreckage at the site a severed leg is located later described as

00:02:42.060 sticking out of the grill of stephanie's vehicle i know i'm so confused

00:02:48.620 thank you

00:03:03.580 rossi grab some gloves take over ctr for pyro has anybody gotten all your information

00:03:12.540 do you have a driver's license your friends are probably like three okay i'm just i'm just going

00:03:16.860 going to write it down here. Okay. Let's let you know I got body cameras. Okay. Upon speaking with

00:03:22.300 Stephanie, as the officer obtains her personal information, he immediately notices that her

00:03:27.100 speech is slurred. Her eyes are red and watery, and there is a strong odor of alcohol on her breath.

00:03:33.180 Nonetheless, his focus is to find out exactly what happened and how things went so terribly wrong.

00:03:39.120 Were you leaving the bar? Were you coming this down the road? I was coming. I was coming here.

00:03:43.100 You know, I had just gotten my night started.

00:03:46.800 Were you going this direction or this direction?

00:03:49.620 I was coming this direction.

00:03:51.040 Okay, here's what I'm going to have you do.

00:03:53.080 Let's just get away from the scene a little bit, let them do their thing, okay?

00:03:56.300 This is your car, right? The crash, the red car?

00:03:58.260 You were the only one in the vehicle?

00:03:59.600 I'm the only one.

00:04:00.660 Okay, come over here to my spot car, okay? 1.00

00:04:02.620 In addition to the signs of intoxication Stephanie is exhibiting,

00:04:06.500 the officer also notes that her vehicle has sustained heavy front-end damage.

00:04:10.840 can you take your purse off and just set that on here we got them

00:04:13.440 yeah do you have anything illegal on you yes i have marijuana in your purse okay

00:04:21.720 have you had any marijuana tonight no okay can you set those on the car for me for my vape too

00:04:26.980 yep yep set that down there in my phone your phone yes ma'am all right just come over here

00:04:31.880 put your hands on my car he's got a pass search where i put you in my car okay okay no pockets 0.96

00:04:36.660 or anything okay all right until we figure out how we're gonna do this i'm gonna have you sit

00:04:44.420 uncuffed in the back seat of my car i'm gonna get you out we're gonna probably do some field

00:04:48.020 sobriety tests and all that i got some more questions for you but right now i'm gonna have

00:04:51.140 you sit down just so we're out of the roadway okay just scoot that over for me okay do you want

00:04:57.620 to do it there we go are you hurt at all or need or need medics yourself and no sir because your

00:05:04.500 Your entire, I mean, your car's pretty beat us.

00:05:06.200 I'm making sure.

00:05:06.760 I'm okay.

00:05:07.040 Are you bleeding anywhere?

00:05:08.700 No, I'm okay.

00:05:09.880 Is that a little blood sweater on your hands?

00:05:11.860 Maybe from glass?

00:05:12.960 See that you got glass cut all over you?

00:05:14.840 Do I?

00:05:15.540 I think I'm okay.

00:05:17.000 Okay.

00:05:17.480 All right.

00:05:18.140 Stephanie has read her Miranda rights and acknowledges that she understands.

00:05:22.020 She agrees to give her version of what has landed everyone in this distressing crisis.

00:05:27.400 What happened prior to the accident?

00:05:29.360 I was coming to the full throttle, and I was almost here, as you can see.

00:05:35.880 Were you driving this way or coming down that side road?

00:05:38.480 I was coming here, this way.

00:05:39.560 Okay.

00:05:40.560 And suddenly, one person walked out in front of me.

00:05:44.720 Okay.

00:05:45.380 And my car got hit.

00:05:47.300 I called you as soon as they got hit.

00:05:49.280 You called 911?

00:05:50.680 Yes, I called 911.

00:05:51.880 This is an interesting choice of words.

00:05:54.060 It's clear that Stephanie is attempting to place blame on the individual she hit.

00:05:59.040 She isn't taking responsibility for her actions and is putting forth her best effort to avoid consequences associated with her poor decision.

00:06:07.580 And then someone said, oh, someone else just said, I'm just like, oh, my God, how did that happen?

00:06:12.340 OK, what happened when you hit the one person? What happened?

00:06:15.400 I just called you. That's all I know.

00:06:17.100 Did they fall down right away or did you get out and help them or what happened?

00:06:21.280 I got out, I called you and then everyone else came out.

00:06:24.400 So I, like, kind of just let them come and take over the situation.

00:06:29.600 Okay.

00:06:30.320 But I promise you, like, I only know one person got hit,

00:06:33.800 and I'm just like, they came out of nowhere because I'm a safe driver.

00:06:38.540 I get it.

00:06:38.980 But clearly, this claim couldn't be further from the truth.

00:06:42.700 The officer continues his line of questioning,

00:06:45.220 and Stephanie's answers become progressively more outlandish.

00:06:48.800 If you had to ask me how fast were you going when you hit the person?

00:06:52.020 I would say I was doing at least, at least 40, at least 40, maybe 40 to 45, but at least 40.

00:07:02.360 Okay.

00:07:03.420 Technically, this likely isn't a lie, but the way she's phrased this statement could place her speed well over 40 miles per hour at the time of impact.

00:07:12.880 It's interesting that despite being heavily intoxicated, she is careful about the phrasing of her deceptive statements.

00:07:19.500 all right um do you think you were going too fast for this area at the time with the darkness i

00:07:25.340 honestly don't think i was going too fast because i try to be precautionary about where i'm at um

00:07:31.180 but i just know that someone one person came out of nowhere dude she doesn't even seem sad oh my

00:07:40.380 gosh did you have your headlights on yes sir brights on or just regular headlights regular

00:07:45.500 okay okay so obviously you saw them it was no time to react they're trying to stop okay that's the

00:07:50.700 word okay all right where were you coming from tonight i was coming from tavern uh 41 on sterling

00:07:57.820 okay so it's a 13 minute dude 10 miles 15 minutes that's like a 50 uber at most dude

00:08:08.380 there's no excuse tavern 31 on 41 tavern 41 on sterling okay and you left the tavern 41 and

00:08:17.040 drove straight here yes sir okay over the course of the night how much have you had to drink i

00:08:22.120 probably had about three drinks consistent with her previous statement where she claimed she was

00:08:27.360 going at least 40 miles per hour stephanie continues with her selective memory statements

00:08:33.340 what's what's what is three drinks do you like are we talking what type of drinks

00:08:36.880 uh just vodka vodka straight vodka or mixed drinks uh vodka and water so i was staying hydrated you

00:08:43.360 know and drinking if stephanie is truly under the impression that this is an effective way to stay

00:08:49.040 hydrated obviously misinformed like right now if you had me do a test i think i would pass just

00:08:56.420 like she doesn't wow it's just crazy how little remorse don't test me but i think i would okay

00:09:03.380 i'm gonna be honest we are going to do those tests here a little bit because the circumstance

00:09:07.060 obviously we have to okay uh how long ago was your last drink would you say uh my last drink

00:09:13.140 i would say about 40 minutes 40 minutes ago where you drank anything while you're in the vehicle

00:09:18.340 or was last drink at the bar at the bar okay on a scale of one to ten one being the least drunk

00:09:23.860 you've ever been 10 being the most drunk you've ever been where would you say you put yourself

00:09:27.220 right right now five because i've been very drunk and right now like i see you i see everyone i know

00:09:33.140 the situation you know what i mean like i know i'm aware of everything okay soon it's time to

00:09:38.900 conduct the field sobriety test the same one stephanie just stated that she would be able to

00:09:43.780 pass what i want you to do is follow the tip of my pen i'm gonna move my pen back and forth several

00:09:48.100 times once you follow the tip of my pen you want me to like walk or just wait no we're just doing

00:09:51.780 your eyes right now i want you to follow the tip of my pen of your eyes your eyes only but keep

00:09:55.940 your head still i want you to continue that test so i tell you to stop okay sir it's likely no

00:10:00.900 coincidence that stephanie addresses the officer is sir here just before the sobriety test gets

00:10:06.420 underway you understand yeah all right touch the tip of my pen just so you know where you

00:10:12.580 all right that's what i want you to follow nope keep your head still for me oh my head yes ma'am

00:10:18.340 here just your eyes oh no what what is wrong with it's crazy because

00:10:32.180 i don't know in the body cam i've seen the men when they do something wrong

00:10:35.620 like i we had this guy that also got caught for a dui but when the officers pulled him over he

00:10:42.020 just said i'm sorry sir yes sir like they don't laugh they don't giggle they don't do any of this

00:10:46.260 Stephanie's demeanor here, she isn't any closer to grasping the seriousness of the situation.

00:10:51.320 The theme continues as they make their way through the tests. As the officer administers

00:10:56.160 the horizontal gaze nystagmus portion of the sequence, he's checking Stephanie's eye for

00:11:00.980 involuntary jerking as she gazes from side to side. When someone is intoxicated by alcohol

00:11:06.480 or some type of drugs, this jerking becomes more pronounced.

00:11:10.380 it's so hard keeping my head the best you can just follow up your eyes

00:11:16.740 are you able to hold your head still without your hands okay all right just follow up your eyes

00:11:23.400 okay keep following what i'm going to have you do is stand about right here face my car we don't

00:11:31.180 have a line we're going to pretend there's an invisible line straight for you to my license 0.73

00:11:34.060 place okay can you see my license plate fine that's the area we're gonna shoot we're gonna 1.00

00:11:40.540 walk towards that okay what i want you to do is put your left foot down first okay damn she's fat 1.00

00:11:46.060 too double homicide now put your right foot in front of your left foot with your right heel 1.00

00:11:50.860 touching your left toe just as i'm demonstrating go and get in that position for me can i show an

00:11:55.420 example yeah i want you to go and tie your shoe for me okay sorry do not begin until i tell you

00:12:01.340 to okay okay hands straight down your side when i say you're going to take nine heel the toe steps

00:12:06.380 down this line you're going to turn around take nine heel the toe steps back on your on your turn

00:12:11.580 i want you to keep your front foot on the line then you're going to use your other foot to turn

00:12:14.780 yourself around with several small steps okay kind of loud so i can hear you once you begin

00:12:19.580 the test do not stop until you have completed the test okay nine turn around yes do you understand

00:12:24.620 my instructions? I think so. All right, go ahead and begin the test, okay? One, two, three,

00:12:32.780 five, four, five, nine, and turn around. After the walking test, Stephanie attempts the one-leg 0.99

00:12:47.340 stand portion of the series, and she fails this part just as miserably as the previous sequences.

00:12:53.340 All right, go ahead and begin the test, okay?

00:12:54.940 Okay.

00:12:56.720 Well, 1,000, is that what it is?

00:12:59.240 You drop your foot, lift it right back up, keep going where you left off.

00:13:01.640 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, oh no, 9,000, oh, I can't do it.

00:13:12.140 Continue the test, okay?

00:13:13.420 But it's a lost cause at this point. 1.00

00:13:16.200 Stephanie's unable to maintain her balance, 0.95

00:13:18.140 and the following test effectively places the final nail in the coffin. 0.94

00:13:22.100 this is called a pvt test you ever blown one of these before no okay you know what the legal limit

00:13:27.600 is to drive in illinois i do not say okay 0.08 okay what i have you do is take a deep breath a

00:13:32.920 long heart steady blow into the straw just like you're blowing up a balloon you know i used to

00:13:37.180 have a breathalyzer in college i would bring two parties um i can't remember what people would blow

00:13:44.560 though i don't know the equivalent i remember um i say 1.5 she'll blow until you hear the machine

00:13:51.840 click okay all right i'm gonna guess two ma'am take a deep breath long heart steady blow

00:13:59.120 a little bit harder for me a little bit harder she don't she don't she don't she don't she don't

00:14:02.320 okay you're a bradley student i graduate in four weeks you're a 0.264 okay okay dude

00:14:09.680 all right stephanie's level is more than three times the limit a bac of this level is extremely

00:14:19.200 high and very dangerous it can lead to profound impairment of motor skills coordination and

00:14:25.460 balance in addition to the slurred speech stephanie is exhibiting reaction times are greatly

00:14:31.560 slowed vision may become blurred and fine motor skills might be compromised there's a significant

00:14:38.320 risk of accidents and falls due to the impairment of these essential functions.

00:14:43.700 Mentally, cognitive functions are severely impacted. Judgment, decision-making, and reasoning

00:14:49.160 abilities are impaired, making it difficult for the individual to make sound choices or assess

00:14:54.620 risks accurately. Memory lapses and blackouts can occur. Go ahead and turn around for me and

00:15:01.440 Place your hands on your back.

00:15:02.480 You are under arrest for DUI, okay?

00:15:07.340 Despite the seriousness of this moment,

00:15:10.000 Stephanie blurts out another bizarre and inappropriate exchange 1.00

00:15:13.280 at the very moment she's handcuffed.

00:15:16.000 You're doing great.

00:15:17.980 All right.

00:15:19.200 Thank you, sir.

00:15:20.000 Come right over here.

00:15:20.660 Let me sit back in the car, okay?

00:15:21.820 It's comfy, isn't it?

00:15:26.300 All right.

00:15:29.600 Yes, sir.

00:15:30.220 whatever you say. Stephanie is transported to a local hospital as reportedly a doctor needs to 0.97

00:15:38.700 evaluate possible glass in Stephanie's foot. Well, your whole front windshield is shattered out, so

00:15:45.020 let's understand. Oh my gosh. Holy crap. I know what I did. I know what I did. Okay.

00:15:52.080 it feels too i'd be crying you know what i mean i'd be like oh my god bro be like wow

00:16:02.080 this made it work but dude i know what i did okay her concern for her you guys think it's

00:16:09.040 malicious do you think she doesn't know what do you it's just weird because i know how deceptive 0.99

00:16:16.160 women are and like women generally lie about not remembering but jesus she just does not seem to 0.98

00:16:26.160 comprehend it foot is placed on the back burner and her ramblings continue 0.85

00:16:30.880 i'm going to spend at least 500 dollars i'm going to start off with

00:16:40.960 Oh, my gosh. She's talking about drinking more.

00:16:46.480 You haven't had enough of drinking already?

00:16:50.440 We're talking about Vegas.

00:16:52.120 We're talking about Vegas, right?

00:16:54.220 Have you been there?

00:16:56.420 I swear to God, you're stuck at me right now.

00:16:58.800 I'm not.

00:16:59.900 I'm good to see you guys.

00:17:01.940 Okay, well, you're being too quiet, so how do you start seeing?

00:17:06.100 Because I hate quiet.

00:17:06.860 While the display may strike you as mildly amusing, everything will change when you learn

00:17:12.640 the magnitude of the destruction that resulted back at the crime scene. You see, after Stephanie

00:17:17.660 was first placed in the patrol unit, officers engaged in a brief but heartbreaking exchange.

00:17:24.140 Hang tight a minute. Okay, suspect, that's her. They're probably going to call vote for that.

00:17:32.540 in addition there was a bit more to the conversation that took place upon arrival at the hospital

00:17:39.020 okay so you understand what we're gonna do first off i'm gonna let you know the two p

00:17:42.940 you did hit two people total no you did i didn't okay on this okay however you want to word it to

00:17:49.980 yourself that's fine okay i'm just telling you there's two people struck by your vehicle and

00:17:53.820 both both are dead i didn't know it's okay okay well i'm just telling you the two people that

00:17:59.020 hit your car ma'am just listen if i two people struck your vehicles i'm telling you and they're

00:18:05.340 both deceased on scene i'm just telling you that information okay we're gonna go in here we're

00:18:09.580 gonna do the thing i appreciate you being cooperative so far i'm just telling i gotta

00:18:13.260 tell you what's going on with the revelation that everything was already disclosed to stephanie

00:18:17.900 and despite this she continues to engage in her completely remorseless behavior

00:18:23.020 The officer attempts to put things in perspective for her.

00:18:53.020 jail you don't have a bond you killed two people tonight i don't think you understand that you do

00:18:58.540 not have a bond you are not getting out of jail your car is property of the security police

00:19:03.820 department because it's a crime scene it killed two people tonight you are clueless but that's

00:19:08.780 clearly i've already explained this to you you're going to jail for reckless homicide tonight you're

00:19:13.740 going to jail for aggravated dui for killing two people that's what's going on so no you're not

00:19:18.780 going to school tomorrow you're not getting your car out in bed say the tuesday morning

00:19:25.980 did you just hear what i just told you you said i'm going tomorrow i'm telling you that 0.72

00:19:29.740 steve did you hear when i said that you're going to jail tomorrow you're going to jail

00:19:34.140 when we're down here yes did you understand what i told that you killed two people tonight

00:19:37.980 yes i'm just wondering when i can go to school okay we're done what stephanie isn't grasping at

00:19:43.900 all, as anyone else who chooses to get behind the wheel while intoxicated wouldn't be able to,

00:19:49.180 is the fact that if you choose to ingest substances, you are completely responsible

00:19:54.060 for your actions, no matter how impaired you get. This is the case both morally and legally in every

00:20:00.900 state. Even if you are to the point of hallucination because you chose to ingest the substance,

00:20:07.000 you are still responsible for your actions. It's nearly impossible to make good choices

00:20:12.300 while intoxicated and it's of utmost importance that if you choose to ingest substances you must

00:20:18.620 be aware of the risks associated with these acts think ahead and plan transportation before drinking

00:20:25.020 or using other substances while devastating events such as this one occur far too often

00:20:31.180 they can be prevented you're all on body time being completely careless about killing two 0.99

00:20:36.780 people tonight you could care less that's sad and pathetic and horrible all at the same time 0.99

00:20:43.820 can you say that as a cop yes ma'am i can't okay so can i ask where i can go back to school 0.99

00:20:49.260 it'll be quite frankly i'm a little more concerned about the two people that are dead right now

00:20:56.540 she rolled her

00:20:57.260 i wonder how i hope there's video of her waking up

00:21:27.260 though the unnerving footage ended here it's crazy because i think she got 14 years in jail

00:21:32.540 and she killed two people the investigation was just getting started earlier that fateful night

00:21:40.320 43 year old andrea rosewich of avon ohio and 55 year old paul proent of seattle washington were

00:21:47.060 struck by stephanie's vehicle sadly there was no saving them both victims were pronounced dead at

00:21:53.200 the scene. After news of Stephanie's arrest was made public, her fellow students at Bradley

00:21:58.560 University held a candlelight vigil for the victims and later protested the university's

00:22:03.800 decision to allow Stephanie to participate in the commencement. Ultimately, she was not allowed

00:22:08.960 to take part in the graduation ceremony, but her degree was conferred nonetheless. Stephanie

00:22:14.300 eventually admitted to striking both pedestrians and entered a blind plea to two counts of aggravated

00:22:20.000 DUI and two counts of aggravated reckless driving. In April of 2023, Stephanie was sentenced to 14

00:22:28.080 years. I want to see if there's anything more on the case from these videos. There's small ones.

00:22:33.600 Former Bradley student is admitting that she was drinking and driving when she killed two people.

00:22:38.640 As well county courthouse. Two counts of aggravated DUI death and two counts of aggravated

00:22:44.080 reckless driving for other lesser charges were dropped in exchange for the guilty plea

00:22:49.440 positive attitude when deciding her sentence obviously we can't bring back these people and

00:22:54.240 that's a tragedy but this is whole case is about a tragedy she never had the intent she never had

00:22:59.520 any malice she didn't set out to do this uh these people were walking and can you imagine being this

00:23:06.960 defense attorney you got to defend that oh no an area that was not well lit my client did not see

00:23:13.520 them in that location. The state did not negotiate a length for a sentence, but the sentencing

00:23:19.280 guidelines in her case range from six to 28 years in prison. And despite having media clearance to

00:23:26.960 be in the courtroom, the judge chose not to have our camera in the room. And some reporters were

00:23:32.400 not allowed in the courtroom as well. In the newsroom, Sam Atheney, 25 News. Okay, let's see

00:23:38.240 what the next one is. I just kind of want to see what the, it's too bad I couldn't listen to what

00:23:42.640 she had to say after it was more prudent for her to admit that she was in the wrong more prudent

00:23:51.920 we thought it was more prudent for her to admit that she was in the wrong

00:23:56.080 and accept responsibility for what occurred here uh rather than being defiant

00:24:02.400 sentencing is set for april 20th yeah dude cooked that's crazy um that's sad too
