Danny was my baby brother. I have thought of him so many times over the past almost 42 years. My family and I always wondered if Danny was in a witness protection, there were just so many things that made no sense about his death. When I went to Goldendale for his memorial there were so many unanswered questions. I managed to get through the memorial. It was so touching and appreciated to see all the officers who came to the service. Today God and a friend directed me to find this page. It didn't exist back then. I am so glad to have found it.
R.I.P. Baby Brother. I love you!
