Investigators said the van was stolen and the driver wouldn't pull over. Stinson's boyfriend and 6-year-old son were devastated.

"I love her, you know. I miss her," Justo Kelly said, "It's hard, you know, he asks about his mother everyday. He asks me about his mother every day. Pain you know."

The chase ended when the teen suspects crashed into Stinson's car. The teens were critically injured. No charges have been filed.
