1. I'd check to see what happened to the other three husbands.

2. My first legal assignment was given to me by my late brother John. He was one of Janet Reno's major crimes deputies and I was down in Miami painting his house on school break. Homicide detectives dumped an old file on him at home & wanted to close it. John asked me to read it.
3. If I found something he wouldn't have to spend the time. The issue was the statute of limitations. As I recall, 2nd degree murder in FL was 10 years but 1st had no limit. So if the crime was 2nd degree more than ten years old then there was no way to charge
4. and the case could be closed. It was a spousal homicide case. He told me to sit and read every word to see if there was any evidence that that would support a 1st degree murder charge. It was about a six inch legal file.
5. After about an hour I came across a small piece of paper in the file. Several years earlier Miami detectives had travelled to Alaska to investigate the disappearance of the suspect's former spouse. That was enough for John who kept the case open.
6. Hogan family rule: Never risk being blamed for letting a serial killer walk. #Bk
