"Why not? The DA tells us he knows the killing of Wongel was a 'gross deviation from the standard of care', but that he can't prove which of the operators did it. They claimed the DA admitted to them there wasn't even a drug test performed on the ride operators "after they killed our daughter." That in Glenwood Springs someone can recklessly kill a child and not even get a ticket." Our little girl should matter as much as a big corporation." But for the DA to let them off with nothing says our daughter's life was worth nothing. "We never wanted the people who killed our daughter to go to jail. First by the amusement park and now by the DA," they said. "Once again our daughter’s life has been treated as cheap and meaningless.
In response, Wongel's furious parents issued a statement slamming both the DA and the amusement park. "After considering all of the information provided to me, I conclude that the office of the district attorney cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt any one person or entity acted with criminal negligence or was criminally reckless beyond a reasonable doubt," he wrote. He said the only two options open to him were Criminally Negligent Homicide, or Manslaughter.
In a two-page letter obtained by CBS4, Glenwood DA Jefferson Cheney said his office was unable to prove beyond reasonable doubt that any crime had been committed, after the 6-year-old fell to her death while riding the Haunted Mine Drop in September of last year. The district attorney has opted to not file charges against Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park - and Wongel Estifanos' family are furious.
