Dan knew the family. He did not really, specifically know this young man. He may have met this kid but really didn't know him. |
I really can't believe it happened. It's a shock. It's surreal. |
It's only normal to have in the back of your mind, especially when you're dealing with true-caliber criminals. A lot of these people, that's the way they are, they threaten people. |
It's the worst nightmare anyone can have. Dan and his wife are very close and had everything to live for and look forward to. Dan's a strong man and Dan will be OK, but this is beyond tough. |
Of course it wasn't his idea. There's no evidence of that at all. If he was in on it, why would they give him 100 bucks? What they're saying just doesn't ring true. |
She was down to earth and she was cool and believed in what Dan was doing. |
The district attorney wants to throw the book at them with a sentence that tops out at nine years. The defense is holding out for one to six. |
The guy they thought they could get over on and take advantage of nailed them. My client feels vindicated. |
The two were so intertwined with each other. They were perfect for each other and it was a great marriage. We're all just in total shock. |
There is a potential suspect, but it's not a former client. |
These are two kids who need to straighten up, both of them. They need to go to school, get jobs, get counseling. . . . Their parents are concerned. They just want the best for their kids. |
They just asked him where he was. Until there's an arrest, everyone's a suspect. |
They're going to solve this very, very quickly. Then Dan and I are going to get back to this case. |
This is a complete, thorough investigation that's occurring right now. Every possibility will be examined. You cannot dismiss anything. It is possible that one of Dan's former clients may have had some sort of connection. It's possible. It's something that must be looked at. I know. I worked a lot of these cases with Dan. |
This is a real tragedy, these are good people. |
