From Beth Johnson, Dean’s sister and all-around great gal:

To all of Dean’s friends and family in NY -

My name is Beth and I am Dean’s sister. I understand your confusion and hunger for information surrounding Dean’s death. His death is currently under investigation and I don’t feel comfortable discussing the details of his case until the conclusion of that investigation….but rest assured that they do know who Dean was with and that I have every confidence in the DC Det. investing the case. As soon as the case comes to a conclusion, which I am told will be soon ( although not sure what soon is in cop time….) I wil reveal every detail I know. Hang in there.

Dean has been cremated and will be layed to rest next to his mother in Maine soon. They loved each other very much and I know they are together now somewhere.

I can not express the depth of loss I feel. But to hear your stories and see your pics is a comfort. Keep posting the pics, I love them. Thanks to all of you for loving Dean so much. He would love the buzz going on about him now.

With much love and gratitude….
Beth Johnson

Beth, I feel saddest for you. I’m so sorry; let me know if I can do anything.

I’ll write my reminiscences of Dean later on, after some of the hysteria has died down. Thanks to everyone who reached out to me with concern… I’m fine, if a little remorseful. Dean had been trying to fix our broken friendship as recently as last month, and I’m a schmuck for not immediately grabbing the extended paw of reconciliation.
