death. everybody was pointing to jane and like a light bulb went off and i thought, oh my god, she was a battered wife. you didn t get it, you didn t see it. but the very idea the chain was an abused spouse, that she killed dave in self-defense? absolutely ludicrous said the lots, and an outrageous allegation. but dave. i know my brother, he s just a good man. he d give you the shirt office, back has just a way. was can you see him losing his temper at the woman he s losing married to, abusing, or adding or? never. no, no. no said the lots. no said the police. besides they said, maybe jane had quite another motive for
do with it. i did not do it. i don t know what happened. i didn t do it. i m truly scared. okay. but they didn t believe her. especially when they found out that the bullets that killed dave matched the gun in the grandfather clock. and now, don and rebecca laut began to look at things differently. things jane had told them through the years. which maybe didn t add up either. i honestly felt like she was family, so, i am going to dismiss the strange feeling i get sometimes. like rebecca said back in the time, jane told her that two men put a knife to her throat and demanded money. and i said, did you call the police? did you yell? she says, oh no, i just came home. i just wanted to get home. and i said, this was in the middle of the day? no one saw? and she said no. and then there was her claim
another explanation for dave s death. here again is keith morrison with the hometown hero and homecoming queen. sweet jane lott. now the dave was dead stories emerged. it seems like she was controlled in my opinion. and across the street neighbor. he s there standing there while she s pulling weeds pulling up gutters, washing his truck, and he s not lifting a finger to help or? come on. well, jane seemed one nervous? like a scary little rabbit. i was always a little bit leery about what was going on in the home. she said this remained of of a mother vulnerable creature. jane was like a scared little cat constantly giving a little twitch looking over her shoulder to see if someone was
very kind, person very gentle person. and as that yearbook shows, sister star volleyball player. too she could spike i mean she s not that, topic she could jump. jane sun met that other gifted athlete, dave laut, already well on his way to becoming one of the best shot putters in california. they began dating after high school, and sometimes let down the little out, tackle on. she was wonderful she was fun. they just got along so well, they loved each other. it was just. neat when they got married in 1980 jane s friend helen s was a bridesmaid. going that morning in the wedding to jane s parents house, and all the girls getting dressed up, and that was really fun. it was just sweet, and jane was quite excited. she looked gorgeous, beautiful beautiful on her. wedding day he had her on a pedestal he always said such wonderful things about her.
this is don s wife,. rebecca we talk became very close, we talk maybe once, twice a week in the phone, and probably four hours here and i we just hit it off, we were family. jane was there by day side as it became a national and then world competitor. dave won the bronze medal in the 1984 games, but after, his career faded quickly. he kept trying, but knee injuries, he didn t make the olympic team in 1988. he was disappointed, but he knew it s like a point of your career when you know that something is done. it s okay, because you know you ve gone as far as you can, and that door closes. and another door open. dave it became a high school biology teacher, coach and athletic director. and he was even better being a teacher in a coach and it was a throwing.
