"Family friends soon called investigators to provide them with an outside look at the couple's relationship when they learned the 65-year-old died after being stabbed in the shoulder.

At Thursday’s hearing, the state listed factors that led police to doubt that claim: Witnesses said Michael Redlick had showed signs of abuse by his wife. An autopsy ruled his death a homicide. Evidence suggested Danielle Redlick used bleach to clean her husband's blood and was on a dating app prior to calling police.

Prosecutors argued she should be held without bail due to the strength of the case against her and as a danger to the community."

"At first, Danielle called 911 on Jan. 12 and said that her husband was “stiff and he might have had a heart attack.” She made the call around 9:30 a.m., which The Winter Park Police Department says is about 11 hours after she stabbed Michael, according to WFTV9.

Two hours before making that call, she checked a dating application called Meet Mindful, according to WFTV9.

The company describes itself as “the relationship app for mindful people who want to live their happiest, healthiest lives through personal growth, mindfulness practices, healthy living, and conscious communication.”

During her call, Danielle recalled defending herself with a knife as she and Michael fought, police told WFTV9. She said her husband, who she claimed tried to strangle her, took a knife out of her hand and then proceeded to jab himself with it, according to police

"We had an altercation, and he stabbed himself, and I ran and hid in the bathroom,” Danielle allegedly told the 911 operator, according to WKMG. “When I came out I was trying to help him and saw he was lying in blood and then I tried to help him and I couldn’t.”

She told the 911 operator that “the stabbing triggered (her husband’s heart attack). I guess. I don’t know. It’s a shoulder wound,” according to WFTV9.

The fight started after Michael spit a piece of burger in her face, Danielle told officers, according to WESH2.

"We had an altercation and he stabbed himself and I ran and hid in the bathroom," she said in the 911 call." When I came out I was trying to help him and saw he was lying in blood and then I tried to help him and I couldn't."

The suspect later told detectives her husband kept saying "Sam Katie" in reference to the movie 1991 "Cape Fear" before she emerged from the bathroom and followed a bloody trail to his body. The characters in the movie are Max Cady and Sam Bowden, according to the movie's IMBD page.

Danielle Redlick said she had been trying to "figure out what to do" since the stabbing, according to the arrest report. She also said her husband had a heart attack, but "the stabbing triggered it." Medical examiners found no sign of a heart attack, according to the report.

In the 911, Daniell Redlick said she had waited so long to call because she was scared, exhausted and on probation, according to the arrest report. She told detectives she eventually fell asleep next to his body after attempting CPR."

"She later told police she was in the kitchen eating a McDonald’s burger on the night of January 11, when Michael Redlick got angry, took a bite out of the meal, and spit it at her face, according to the affidavit. He allegedly grabbed her arms, pushed her down on the ground, then later shoved her head to the stove, while rubbing his fist against her face. Danielle Redlick allegedly claimed she grabbed a knife and held it as if she was going to stab him, but he grabbed the weapon, and began making “stabbing motions” at himself. According to the affidavit, she claimed to hide in the bathroom, while Michael Redlick was at the door apparently referencing the movie Cape Fear by repeatedly saying the name “Sam Katie.” [There’s no character in the film named Sam Katie in the 1962 film and its 1991 remark, but there is a Max Cady, and a Sam Bowden.]"

"Then, she allegedly said, it was quiet, she he looked outside, and followed a trail of blood to the living room, where the victim was badly hurt. The suspect allegedly claimed she tried to clean up the blood with a towel, and perform CPR on the victim, but he started vomiting. She recalled lying down next to him, wondering what she was going to do, and that she couldn’t immediately call cops because she couldn’t find her phone. She also allegedly added that she was afraid because she was on probation. Redlick claimed to wake up the next morning, continued to clean up, then slit her wrists when she didn’t know what to do, according to the affidavit. Then she called 911.

Police claim that story is full of lies. Investigators found no signs of vomiting. Medical examiners determined that bruising on Michael Redlick’s left arm was consistent with defensive wounds. Fingernail impressions were on his left forearm, according to the affidavit. Another bruise was found on the inside upper lip of his mouth, authorities said. There were no signs of a heart attack. There were no signs of the bruising consistent with CPR, and on that note, the ribs were intact.

The victim sustained a stab wound to the shoulder, and examiner determined that he would’ve bled out in five or six minutes, experiencing “light headedness, unsteadiness, and fatigue.”

Handling anger better can use the Boring Baroque Response coined by Suzette Elgin


"You know, I think it's because of something that happened to me when I was just a little kid. We were living in Detroit at the time, and... No, wait a minute! It couldn't have been Detroit, it must have been when we were living in Indianapolis, because that was the summer my Aunt Grace came to visit us and brought her dog. You know those funny little dogs with the big ears that stick out? Well, this dog...." [And so on, for as long as it takes.]


A response like this delivers the following message: "I notice that you're here to pick a fight. Do that if you like, but it's not going to be much fun for you, because I won't play that game." Listening to a BBR is excruciatingly boring. The most usual result is that by the time you've gotten to the part about your aunt's dog the attacker is already saying, "Oh, never MIND!" and leaving in a hurry -- while making a mental note that you're no fun as a victim and shouldn't be chosen for that role in future."


Use The Boring Baroque Response - How Verbal Self-Defense Works | HowStuffWorks

Responding with the Boring Baroque response can be done b starting a discussion of attitude, ideas, or compliment related to the angry person.

Letting an angry person continue to express anger, without arguing back, allows the anger to diminish.

Perhaps probation officers could receive training. Danielle Redlick was on probation.

"Danielle Redlick, 45, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her husband Michael Redlick, who worked for the University of Central Florida’s DeVos Sport Business Management Program as director of external affairs and partnership relations.

Michael Redlick was found dead in the couple’s home on Temple Drive Jan. 12. Their children were 11 and 13 at the time, records show.

Danielle Redlick was arrested 3 ½ weeks later and has been in the Orange County Jail since. She was in court Tuesday but did not speak except quietly to her lawyers."


"Circuit Judge Dan Traver also ruled that the Orange-Osceola Public Defender’s Office can keep representing Danielle Redlick. Prosecutors had argued she had enough money to hire a private attorney.

Keith Durkin, a lawyer for the representative of Michael Redlick’s estate, said the couple did not have much in cash assets. They had two cars, both leased, and a home valued more than $1 million that they owed about $800,000 on in a mortgage and a line of credit, Durkin said."

"Danielle Redlick would not have access to money from fundraisers for her children, Durkin said. Michael Redlick’s former co-workers have helped raise almost $60,000 through a GoFundMe account to help pay for college for his two children."

Why did Michael Redlick continue to argue with Danielle, following her to the bathroom, as she retreated, after she stabbed him?

Michael did not die of stab wounds, he died some 10 minutes later, from loss of blood.

Where were the children that night?

Where was Michael's cell phone? Why didn't he use his wife's phone to call 911?

Did Michael realize he was going to pass out from loss of blood?

Is the blood alcohol reading from Michael's body, 11 hours later, representative of his actual blood alcohol level at the time of the stabbing?

Was the Cape Fear movie reference, after the stabbing, where the main characters died in the end, an acknowledgement that by continuing to argue with Danielle, Michael was sealing his own death, by continued loss of blood. Close to suicide?

Is this a lesson, that if you get stabbed in an argument, that you better stop arguing, and get some help to stop the bleeding, before you pass out?

"Winter Park Police say Danielle Justine Redlick, 45, was arrested on Wednesday on a probation violation charge from an arrest in Seminole County last year and booked into the Orange County Jail.

Redlick is accused of disorderly intoxication and attacking a paramedic after getting into a fight with two other people at an Oviedo gas station in January 2018.

Winter Park Police say that on January 12 — the same day her husband, Michael Redlick, was found dead at the couple's home — Danielle Redlick's blood sample tested positive for alcohol, which was a violation of her probation.

Redlick has not been charged in connection with her husband’s death."

"“The state, at this point in time, anticipates that one or both of those children will be called as witnesses,” Vescio said.The two children, ages 15 and 11, were appointed a guardian ad litem by Circuit Judge Dan Traver in April.

The assigned guardian for the children is J. Cheney Mason, who said both prosecutors and the defense have a right to call on the children to testify in the case.

Vescio also said prosecutors plan to file a motion for a protective order so the children cannot be filmed during their testimony in court.

"At Thursday’s hearing, Traver told Danielle Redlick he would like her to have an in-depth discussion with her attorneys, Orange-Osceola Public Defender Bob Wesley and Assistant Public Defender Catherine Chien Conlon, on whether she should waive her right to a speedy trial.

“I’m not suggesting that you make one decision one way or another,” Traver said. “I’m suggesting that you take advantage of experienced trial counsel and make an informed decision. Does that make sense, ma’am?”

“Yes, it does,” Danielle Redlick responded …"
