Episode Description
Carl McDonald has had a twenty-year career with the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Carl has recently retired from the Patrol in order to accept a position as the National Law Enforcement Initiative Coordinator with MADD, Mother’s Against Drunk Driving. In January 1998 Lieutenant McDonald’s five year old daughter, Carlie, was tragically killed in a drunk driving collision near Green River, WY. It was especially painful for Carl as his ex-wife was the driver of the car. In the aftermath of this horror, Carl put his energies into a heart-rending public service announcement (PSA) about the catastrophic event. The work on the PSA led into an award winning 20 minute documentary about the crash, “Carl and Carlie’s Story, We Have to Make it Stop.” Carl continues his work and sharing his heart, in honor and memory of his precious daughter, Carlie.
