It was a calm fall night in Vermont when something suddenly felt off. A neighbor heard an engine roar through the quiet, then take off again. Not long after, sirens filled the air. By morning, the state was trying to understand how five teenagers had lost their lives, and how one man, Steven Bourgoin, became the center of a tragedy that would haunt Vermont for years. What happened on the highway was only part of the story. The harder question was what led up to it, and whether it could have been stopped.
