Sadly, pending the full outcome of the investigation, you won't see the driver's name released publicly through media entities unless he is charged with negligent/vehicular homicide or any other charges.
Sadly? Isn't that a good thing? I mean, if he hasn't done anything to get charged with, then his name is run through the mud.
On the other hand, if he is charged, then we all get to call him names on the internet.

She has always had a diverse array of friends. She had a huge personality that attracted people. From what it seems, this guy was enamored with her and often bought her drinks and whatnot. I wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to impress her with the car/driving. She was a fun girl who certainly wouldn't turn down a spin in a cool car. He may have just thought it would lead elsewhere?

Well it's true...

If the guy's name is never released, the victim's family, while they may know who he is, will never have closure.

That doesn't make sense...

the family likely knew the guys name within hours of their daughters death

I mean, does extreme grief ever make sense?
I spent mother's day watching this girl's mother greet people at the head of her daughter's casket.
I have zero idea if the mother cares, but I know some friends and other family members do to a certain extent. Not dramatic witch hunt type of care, but they expressed how uncomfortable they felt once Internet presence for the dude started disappearing and comments all over nola.com from strangers were questioning why his name hasn't been released. I'm sure they are just like me in that they have no idea what is the norm and seeing the comments made them believe this was abnormal.
Him being charged vs not being charged changes nothing about the final result. If he truly did nothing to be charged for, so be it.

Yes, they will know who killed their family member and/or friend, but as someone who has gone through a very similar situation, there's something about not having closure until everything has been released.
Think about it, if his name is not released, the likelihood of criminal charges being filed are slim to none unless there is a civil suit.

Right, but there are two-sides to every story. And, while I certainly feel horrible for your friend and her family, you have to understand that there is another family that will obviously try to protect their family member.
There's nothing illegal about taking names off internet sites and, again, the police have not officially released a name, so that's why the media is not announcing it, or apparently letting it stay around in comments.

I'm trying to say is if the guy is charged, they'll release his name. If not, it'll probably stay scrubbed.

Of course the family will know his name. The family will have access to the accident report, homicide report, insurance reports, etc.
A key issue here is did his company own the lambo or did he personally own the car? Obviously the insurance companies (his and hers) will dump the policy limits, but it will never bring her back to life.

Should the media only report on things that they are spoon fed from the police, or should they do some investigating of their own at times?

The media typically reports anything ASAP, be it right or wrong. They're all about page views and ratings. IMHO, someone told them to withhold any information
Posted on 5/10/16 at 8:47 am to Hammertime
Like I said last night, I have zero idea what the norm is.
I assumed it was unusual that they weren't releasing his name because (a) so many people are freaking out over it and (b) there's no denying he was the person driving. Regardless of what charges he receives, it doesn't change who was driving. I guess I don't understand why they wouldn't have done like they do with every other non-convicted suspect and use language that avoids labeling him as "guilty" of a particular charge.
That is what made me feel it was fishy. But hey.. maybe they always withhold names in these situations? I can't say I follow accident stories.

Generally even if the media knows a name, they don't release it unless charges are filed.
His name is out there, as is his company. To me it has to be negligent homicide because he was speeding. If you cause an accident that kills someone and where breaking a traffic law, then I don't see how he won't be charged.
