  1. I hope they arrest the right person. Everyone is saying it was Lily, his girlfriend, but I’ve also heard it was a dude names Hippie or another person….idk what happened and why my dad ended up dead but it really freaking sucks! R.I.P Dad, Daniel “Danbud” Shealor

  2. I hope whoever is working this case does a thorough investigation and that justice is served for the victim because rumors are getting out of control regarding who the responsible party really is.
