Morrissey’s mother-in-law, Wylma Cook, said Morrissey had been giving investigators information on other methamphetamine makers in recent months to shave time off his own possible sentence.
“Dan ‘narc-ed’ on a bunch of people,” Cook said, using a slang term for telling police about other drug users and dealers. “Everybody knows that.”
Cook said Morrissey had been expected to accept a plea agreement July 12, the day before the girls vanished, but decided not to do so because he was not ready to go jail. She said prosecutors had shaved his sentence from more than 45 years to 30 years and then to 10 years, with a mandatory five years behind bars, because of his cooperation.
Prosecutor Brad Walz, who did not object to the delay in Morrissey’s trials, has declined to comment on Morrissey’s plea negotiations.
Cook said “it’s possible” her son-in-law made an enemy through his cooperation with police, and she said investigators are scrutinizing Morrissey’s associates as they search for the girls. He recently allowed them to go through all the contacts in his phone, Cook said.
Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson said Friday that investigators were casting a wide net as they chase leads in the case. His agency is working with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the FBI.
“We’re not ruling anything out with regard to the investigation, to include Daniel Morrissey’s criminal history, his known associates, any prior or future criminal activities,” he said.
