  3. According to the Investigation Discovery show SHATTERED, Lawrence Horn died February of this year. The wikipedia entry on Lawrence Horn reflects this, citing the SHATTERED episode as the source. I could find any other confirmation of this.

  4. Saw Investigation ID program about this case. Horns daughter went to see her father when he was dying of cancer because she had to confront and forgive him to go forward with her life. He was a shell of the man she remembered and he cried and begged her to keep visiting him. He didn’t apologize or otherwise express remorse, so she never went back. Karma!
