In his 2020 interview with CBS News, Long said he wanted to spend time with his family, including his wife, AshLeigh, whom he married in 2014, and visit the graves of his parents.

"I know my mother and father died with a broken heart," he said. "I'm gonna tell them now, when I visit the gravesite, 'Your son is clear.'"

Wow.
It is not enough, everybody involved in his case should get convicted, but we know thats not going to happen....
