my cousin was working through his vacation to give his sister away at her wedding wich she failed to tell him she had already married without him. also there was a t-shirt found at the scene with a womens blood on it. no one knows who she is as of yet. also Dennis wasn't suppose to be the officer that was dispatched to this call was he set up i don't know but it seems that way and the people in questioning haven't been charged with the murder of Dennis they only have suspects they are questioning and more in mind but none of that matters because it won't bring him back to his family. As for the donations to the bank his children have seen nothing they live in Virginia and thats who will suffer the most those are the facts!!!!
he was shot with a pump shot gun
Hey Some1whoknows
Thanks for the information.
I have not been on line a lot lately and have not been able to follow up with this case to see if anything new has been happening.
Interesting information though.
Thanks

His wife is something else.. blowing through the money that should belong to the kids!
Thats pretty sad if she is blowing through the money...
She will pay the price later when she is broke and the kids are in need.....
