Shocking surveillance footage captured the final moments of a Georgia mother when she was dragged down her driveway by a car allegedly driven by her drunk estranged ex-husband.
Janice Frazier, 58, was seen in footage outside her home in Dekalb County, Georgia being pulled by a black SUV after she went to confront her ex-husband when he showed up out of the blue, her family said.
Frazier's family said her ex-husband, who has not been publicly identified, arrived at her home around 2am on June 21, while heavily intoxicated, per WSBTV.
He was seen swigging from a flask as he got out of his car, and appearing to knock on Frazier's front door before returning to his truck.
Frazier then ran outside in an attempt to stop him from driving drunk, and he briefly got out of the vehicle until he tried to run back to the driver's seat.
As Frazier ran back to the driver's side door and began banging on the window, the truck accelerated away and dragged her down the driveway.
Frazier lost her grip and fell hard into the asphalt, and police say she was ran over by the front of the truck.
Surveillance showed the driver then returning to the home and dragging Frazier's body up the driveway, where her family said her ex-husband changed her clothes and called her son.

Frazier's family claimed that when her ex-husband called her son to the home, he pleaded innocence and told him he did not know what happened.
'For a son to see that, it was just not called for,' her nephew Chris Frazier told WSBTV.
'This was so unexpected... This just hit us like a storm. We didn’t see this coming from a mile away.'

'To not even call 911, not to try to do CPR, but to drag her up a driveway, it’s just heartless,' Black said.

'The cameras told the entire story,' she said.
Chris Frazier added, 'We really want justice because we lost a very special person in our family.'
