In 1985, 79-year-old Mary Yocono left her family's restaurant - Yocono's Italian Eatery in Akron's Wallhaven neighborhood - and walked across the street to take an early Christmas gift to her friends.

Nearly 40 years later, no one has ever taken responsibility for the hit and run of this colorful and beloved Italian matriarch.
