Tex McIver

But on February 2nd, 2017, a little over four months after the shooting, Dani Jo changed her story.

He's not been nice to me and tried to manipulate me.

In a third interview with investigators conducted inside of Tex's SUV, Dani Jo alleged that on the night of the shooting, Tex told her to lie.

He tried to get me to lie.

supposedly to protect me from getting all wrapped up in this.

Bruce Harvey concedes that it is possible Tex was just trying to protect his friend.

Danny Joe, at that particular time, was being hounded by the media.

And I think a lot of this effort was to try to allow her to avoid the media crunch.

Not designed for her not to talk to the police or not to give a particular statement.

But there was no media yet at the hospital.

There was going to be.

Are you saying that Tex may have told her to tell the cops she wasn't in the car so that people would stop hounding her?

Yes.

So Tex may have told her that?

If he did.

But there is no denying this.

Days after the shooting, Tex orchestrated a meeting with his lawyers and two reporters, where Danny Joe was to make a legal and public statement that the shooting was an accident.

When she was a no-show and stopped taking his calls, Tex left this frantic voicemail for her husband.

Bruce Harvey was still watching from the sidelines when on December 20th, 2016, Tex got some good news.

The Atlanta Police Department concluded the shooting was not an intentional act.
