Trista Zinck

She was a 16 year old honors student planning a career in medicine, taking a stroll along a Newburyport road with her boyfriend, on Jan 7th 2003. A drunken kid, not much older than her, who had graduated a year earlier from the same school, slammed into her with his truck. She died two days later.

Her heartbroken parents have become crusaders against teen drinking. They started by suing the young man who drove the truck. They sued his friend who supplied him with alcohol. And they sued the Gateway store who sold the alcohol to the bearer of a fake ID. All lawsuits were successful with the awards running into millions of dollars.

Mary Zinck (mother): "She did nothing wrong. She was innocent and he made his choices. He needs to be accountable."

David Zinck (father): "Trista kind of started at happy and went up from there. Just always radiant."

Her death was unnecessary at a number of levels. The offender should not having been drinking, nor driving. However, more specifically, Trista should not have been walking down that road at that moment.

Would it have been possible to prevent her from going there, knowing in advance she was in danger? Certainly. Azrael's ways are known and predictable.

One might think it is easier to stop kids from drinking and posing a threat to others, than it is to keep potential victims like Trista out of danger 24/7. Actually, the answer to this is no. Teens will always drink. They will always find a supplier. They will always create mayhem while under the influence. It has been so since humankind first discovered the upside to fermentation.

In the wake of Trista's death, Newburyport authorities took a zero tolerance stance on underage drinking. It has not been very successful at all. Five years on, Newburyport kids continue to party up a storm. Even if they couldn't get their hands on the booze, they would supplement their desire for altered states of consciousness with other chemicals. You may as well get pigs to fly than try to stop teenagers from drinking, inter alia.

Concerned parents need other options.

Trista had the signature of Azrael's Early Call. This is a marker easily identified in the birth horoscope. Equally easily spotted is Azrael's ambush of Trista (and those like her) in Newburyport MA, in the first two weeks of January 2003. The truth of the matter is Trista was going to die anyway ... if she remained in Newburyport at that time. If it was not a roadside accident, it would have been electrocution. If it was not electrocution, it would have been viral meningitis. If it were not meningitis it would have been a latent brain aneurysm that ruptured.

Whatever.

The simple fact is Trista should have been warned to move out of the area for those two weeks. Spending the time with a friend or a cousin 100 miles away would have done the trick.

Going back even further into the past, her premature death could have been avoided had her mother given birth to her a few minutes earlier/later, thus eliminating the Early Call signature from the natus. How would her mother have known to do this? She wouldn't have known then. But it is possible to avoid these dangerous birth signatures now.
