David’s dad died in 2012. I’m glad he was able to see his son’s killer go to prison.

"He liked the chase more than he liked the prize"...very well put. That's a very familiar type of dude.

I find it very disturbing that a repellent, dishonest liar like Scott's father was treating vulnerable and mentally ill people as a psychiatrist.

He called thirty times. Jealous obsession, yet while together, he ignored his wife. Self-centered and cold-blooded.
