sandy brown is dave s long time pastor and friend. this person who is portrayed as such a monster, just simply isn t. he s a man who has worked hard in the church, good father. as their son prepared to face serious financial charges, dave s parents, dan and lois hawk took over of over custody of chelsa and savannah, not the way they expected to spend th80, nor more than the way they expected to see their son. stan established those trusts for his grandchildren and says dave had the right to use the money how he saw fit to benefit the children. were you surprised to discover how it was used? yes. apparently, his financial situation was worse than i knew. a year passed in this gossipy limbo. now it was may, 2008, nearly two
they were married within a me year. i think they both wanted a family and i think that was the impetus for the acceleration i guess you d say of the relationship. though debbie s big sister wasn t sure a what she saw in him. he seemed very quiet, very opposite of my sister. then, before long conrad arrived, and chelsa and savannah. i still remember christmass where my brother and i would run around and deliver gifts to everybody. sadly, a lot of unhappy memories too. pretty much from when i can remember, fighting and arguing were pretty routine. after nearly nine years, this marriage, like so many others fell apart. we might have been a little more different than we were
but chel shsa has been and sl is her father s strongest advocate. i think they re upset and their relationship was not as close to my dad. they were either not home or not awake when i was awake. and they were not around him the next day like i was around him. chelsa says dave was acting perfectly normal the day after whatever happened happened. no odd behavior. so the things that convinced me about his innocence aren t there to convince them. i think this he are defending my mom so much so that it s like they re going to point to the most obvious suspect. but chelsa wasn t the only one in this small town who believed dave hawk was innocent. i believe what he says, that he had nothing to do with his disappearance and presumed death.
