A well-known local writer once described the daughter who is accused in his killing as "the sweetest person."
Blogger Dennis Lane, whom police say was killed in a plot orchestrated by his 14-year-old daughter, was an involved parent whose goal was to help his daughter be more independent, according to court documents from a 2008 custody case.
