Susan Winters was a successful attorney and a loving mother of two daughters. She seemed to have a happy life with her husband, Gregory Brent Dennis, a psychologist. But on January 3, 2015, everything changed. Susan was found dead in her bed, apparently from a combination of antifreeze and oxycodone. The authorities ruled her death a suicide, but her parents, Danny and Avis Winters, were not convinced. They launched a private investigation that uncovered evidence of foul play and pointed to Dennis as the prime suspect. In May 2022, Dennis was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison. But what happened to Susan’s daughters, who were teenagers at the time of the incident? How did they deal with the loss of their mother and the accusation of their father?
Daughters Stand Behind Their Father
According to 8 News Now, the daughters of Susan Winters stood behind their father and refused to believe that he killed their mother. They were briefly placed under the custody of an office manager for Dennis, but later reunited with him after he was released on bail. They also cut off contact with their grandparents, who they blamed for framing their father. They sent harsh messages to Danny and Avis, accusing them of persecuting Dennis and lying about Susan’s death. Avis Winters said that Dennis was a master manipulator who turned the girls against their own family. She said, “Those girls are never going to have a chance at a regular life because of what he has done to them, and he doesn’t care.”
Daughters’ Current Status Unknown
As of December 2023, the current status of Susan Winters’ daughters is unknown. They have not spoken publicly about the case or their father’s conviction. It is unclear whether they still support him or have changed their minds. It is also unknown where they live, what they do, or how they cope with the trauma of losing their mother and having their father in prison. According to The Cinemaholic, Danny and Avis Winters were disappointed with not being able to talk to their granddaughters. They said that they loved them and hoped that they would someday understand the truth. They also said that they hoped that Dennis would confess and apologize for what he did. They said, “We want him to tell the truth. We want him to say he’s sorry. We want him to say he’s sorry to the girls. We want him to say he’s sorry to us. We want him to say he’s sorry to Susan.”
