The driver, according to the officer, failed to yield to his lights and sirens. At 12:37 p.m., the officer reports the motorcyclist was exiting Highway 1 at Highway 129. The CHP dispatcher responds that she will notify Watsonville Police Department.
CHP officials did not disclose their prior pursuit initially, either directly to the family, they said, or in a press release issued by the agency. Gomes said it was not until three weeks after Mollett’s death that the family heard of the pursuit. Murillo later confirmed Sentinel inquiries about the prior CHP chase, although he was unable to immediately provide specific details, such as top speeds, the beginning and end times of the pursuit or the locations.

When attempting to collect her brother’s motorcycle helmet, Gomes was told that the Santa Cruz County Coroner’s Office had burned all clothing that was touching Mollett’s body, including his helmet, due to biohazard risks.
