Maryland State police say Pettigrew was struck by a Cadillac
Escalade driven by Christy Littleford of Upper Marlboro as
she was riding her bike. Police say Littleford did not stop but
instead drove nearly four miles to her Upper Marlboro home,
even though the victim’s bicycle was still lodged underneath
the SUV. Pettigrew lay dying on Rt. 202 near the Prince
George’s County Community College campus.
Police say Littleford claimed she did not want to stop in the
early morning hours and thought she had hit either a deer
or a dog. Investigators say when Littleford and her husband
realized a bicycle was lodged underneath her Escalade, she
called Prince George’s County police.
Natasha aspired to be the next United States Senator for
Maryland. She was a lifelong Marylander. Her platform,
stated at her website, focused on her belief that the Federal
Government had gotten away from the spirit of Abraham
Lincoln’s immortal Gettysburg Address, that, “of the people,
by the people, for the people” should always describe
Government’s actions. She also believed in holding elected
officials accountable for their actions, and their decisions made
on behalf of the people. She chose to run as a Green Party
candidate rather than as a Democrat or Republican because
she felt her campaign was most in line with the Green Party’s
10 Key Values.
Her philosophy about life, and work, can perhaps best be
summarized in her own words that, ‘’help should not be a dirty
word.’’
Raised by her mother and grandmother, Natasha felt she
developed an early sense of responsibility and hard work.
She felt everyone needed someone to believe in them to be
successful in life, and that she and her mother had always
done that for one another.
Natasha earned a BS in Zoology and a BA in Criminology
from the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. In the fall
of 2008, she entered the University Of Miami School Of Law
in Florida. Her sole interest, as is stated at her website, in
attending law school was to help others. She was interested in
public interest law, particularly juvenile advocacy.
Volunteering was always important to Natasha, and over the
course of her life, she donated her time at the Children’s
Hospital in Washington, DC, several animal groups in the
Washington Metropolitan Area, the American Red Cross, and
many other organizations.
While in law school, she gave back to the Miami community
through an organization at UM Law called HOPE (Helping
Others through Pro Bono Efforts). She was an intern for the
University Of Miami School Of Law’s Children Youth Law
Clinic, which gave her the opportunity to represent the foster
kids and former foster kids of Miami.
Despite her break to run for United States Senator, Natasha
was determined to become an attorney. Her personal interests
included biking, running, swimming, knitting, reading and
spending time with her family and friends, and her dog.
