From Sony Music Entertainment and Waveland Road, you're listening to Deadly Fortune. This is Episode 4, The Deeper You Dig. The Deeper You Dig Tex had continued to try and reach Danny Joe.

We discover that Tex wanted Danny Joe to leave the hospital that morning, wanting her to claim that she was not even with Tex and Diane. This was highly suspicious. Why in the world would he want Danny Joe to leave the hospital and pretend she wasn't with them?

So how do you believe anything she says? This would have allowed Tex to create a narrative that was more favorable to him. I call this Tex and the Tell-Tale Heart. Tex continues to make decisions that arouse suspicion. Still grieving, Tex did agree to sit down with police to share his side of the story. This is Brett Zimbrick, who was immediately involved in the case.
