CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- The ABC11 I-Team has uncovered new search warrants in connection with the death of UNC student Molly Rotunda.

The 20-year-old was killed last month after the car she was in was involved in a high-speed crash

Ten people including three UNC football players have now been charged with various offenses stemming from that Jan. 21 evening.

The search warrants focus on the 2014 black Mercedes driven by UNC student Flemeeja Brewer.

Brewer was allegedly behind the wheel that night when the car flipped after going 124 mph on NC 54 in the Meadowmont area.

The Mercedes traveled 300 feet once it left the roadway, warrants showed. Investigators also found a fake Texas driver's license in Brewer's wallet which was attached to keys that were still in the ignition after the crash.

Detectives also found a bottle of Crown Royal whiskey that was half empty near the crashed car.

Investigators said they believe Brewer and her two passengers showed up at Still Life on Franklin Street around 1 a.m. Later that night, Brewer's blood was drawn at the hospital where officials found her blood alcohol content was .15, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.

Search warrants were also done on Brewer's medical records from UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill.
