Dayne had just celebrated his 26th birthday in jail two weeks earlier, and in a birthday post his sister said she was excited for him to have a “fresh start”.

“It’s been a long 20 months without you, I fact it’s been a long 9-10 years in and out of lock up but you’re home in just a few days now,” Brooke Lehmann wrote on November 11.

“I wish nothing more than for you to enjoy the rest of your life out here with us doing positive things that are going to make you truly genuinely happy!”
