Seems to be another case of what you can prove. The evidence points directly to who he was having a custody dispute with. Someday hopefully the truth will come to light.

Dana Dan Presley, 51, was found dead in his Tumwater, Washington, home after an apparent gunshot to the head. The shooting occurred sometime during the night of August 7, 2021, when an unknown assailant fired a single fatal shot through Presley's bedroom window while he slept. His sister discovered his body several days later after checking on him and called the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators describe the shooting as appearing targeted: detectives concluded the shooter had approached the house and fired from close range, a detail that prompted police and family to suspect a personal motive. Presley’s family highlighted an ongoing contentious custody dispute over his young daughter as a possible factor; his brother said the killer was likely someone who knew Dan and his routines. No arrests have been announced, and the Sheriff’s Office has appealed for information.

Does anyone in the community have information about Dan’s routine, contacts, or the custody dispute that could help investigators?
