Another Source Revealed That One of the Surviving Victims Mistook the Murderer for a Party Guest

Another source revealed to NewsNation this week that the only witness, dubbed D.M. in the affidavit, mistook the murderer as a party guest at the home.

"Their friends are gone and they're still here. It's been really rough on them. They're going to be dealing with this for the rest of their lives."

They Are "Wondering If They Could've Done Anything Differently"

"They've been interviewed by the cops about what they saw and heard," the friend added. "But they don't have all the answers. How can they? They are happy to be alive but just so sad about it all. And wondering if they could've done anything differently. It's heartbreaking."
