The accused claimed they knew Daniels through her 15 year old son. He lives in Chicago. The accused also claimed the motive for the murder was robbery; however, the only thing taken was the cell phone belonging to Daniels. Police were able to find then teens by calls made on the very cell phone they stole. The County Attorney denies the motive as robbery noting the extreme violence. The attorney said the level of violence associated with this crime is difficult to comprehend and difficult to imagine.

Joseph Williams, Daniels boyfriend, found the bodies on Thursday morning. Williams 1 year old daughter was at the house and she was found bloody but unharmed.
