Dana Hunter was a court reporter and friend of Lilly Rush. Lilly's co-worker Nick Vera was less enamored with her because Dana had covered the Gail Chimayo murder case and kept writing that Vera had no new leads. In 2004, she wrote a story on a 60th anniversary reunion of women who had worked in factories in World War II. Dana was especially interested since her great-aunt Alice Miller was one of the workers before her death in a fall in 1943. Dana was present when it was discovered that Alice had in fact been killed by her husband Nelson, who confessed to the crime.
