Trace amounts of the drug were still in her body days after her death, coroner reports stated. Colaizzi was the only daughter of Nicholas Colaizzi, a long-time Addison Township Republican Party precinct committeeman. Reports state that each possessed less than 15 grams of cocaine during the incident. Attempts by prosecutors to seek additional charges against Higgins and Kenny for Colaizzi's death were unsuccessful. However, Ruggiero said any new information regarding her death will be considered.
Investigation is ongoing.
Nicholas Colaizzi said he is not satisfied with results of the investigation so far and is exploring other angles to the case. I'll do anything to help clear my daughter's name, but nothing is going to bring her back. Ruggiero does not know if this was the first time Colaizzi used crack cocaine. According to Nicholas Colaizzi, his daughter has never been arrested for drug possession.
