Next All Points: Ethan Couch
Ethan Couch, the very, very drunk boy whose 2013 pickup crash killed four people and injured 12, had almost slipped out of the bright public spotlight that followed him for many months.
Then a Twitter video appeared to show Couch, who turns 19 in April, at a recent party during a drinking game. Prosecutors wanted to move his case to adult court.
Couch failed to check in with his probation officer — his probation after the crash was what drew public outrage. He and his mother both disappeared.
