"I could see an accident coming, but not one like that," says Fincher, her photographic consultant. "I heard it on the local news," says Kresic. "My daughters cried. It's terrible that she wasn't allowed to have some private life." "I can't believe that she was here, sitting next to me," says his daughter DIJANA, 13. "She always smiled at me.
