Liese Dodd’s Parents, Family And Tribute
Liese Dodd had a mother who unfortunately had to witness her daughter’s dead body. There is not much information about Liese’s family on the internet,
Because she hadn’t heard from her since Thursday, her mother went to Dodd’s house in the 3400 block of Bolivar Street to check on her and “found her in a situation you can’t image.”
Authorities have been in “continuous touch” with Dodd’s family, according to Pulido, and he has asked that the public refrain from approaching them.
The chief requested the public to pray and think about all domestic violence victims, all homicide victims, and Dodd and her family.
