Shooting victim Diane McIver loved godson Austin Schwall so much that she told his mother that when she died, that she wanted the boy to have the 75-acre ranch near Lake Oconee she owned with her husband, Claud “Tex” McIver.

After Tex McIver, an Atlanta attorney who was then a partner at Fisher & Phillips, fatally shot his wife, McIver told Anne Schwall that Austin, who was 10 when Diane McIver died, was not a beneficiary of her will.
