NEXT STEPS IN DANYÉ’S CASE
We are continuing to work with his family to push authorities with subpeona power on the following:

  • Swab Danyé's uncle and step-father for DNA so they can be confirmed or eliminated as the sources of additional male DNA on the bed sheet used in his hanging death, and also seek to determine ethnic origins of the DNA found on the sheet based on prior swabbing samples

  • Digital forensics work to determine who was accessing Danyé's accounts, possibly on his last day and also in the years since, possibly through his missing iPad

  • Subpeona Apple to get into Danyé's iPhone to see if there is location data or other communications connected to the 7 hours of missing time during his final night alive

  • Follow up with person of interest we told prosecutor Wesley Bell about in Aug 2020, Marcell Foster, alleged to have shot Danyé's best friend and narrowly missed his brother only weeks before Danyé's death, held since January 2021 for the shooting of LaRico Martin, and convicted of murder only last week.

  • Investigate alleged patterns of racial bias in the work of the lead detective for St. Louis County in Danyé's case, Timothy Anderer, as well as his wife Aimee Anderer, an officer who trains new cadets at police academy, including racial discrimination suits and complaints, racist social media posts, violent anti-activist commentary said on bodycam, a growing number of citizens with stories of underserved investigations, questions around County police's destruction of the bed sheet while actively sought by Danyé's family (as heard in ep7 "Navy Knots") and more
