I watched this yesterday and thought it was compelling, but the more I have thought about it, the more I am convinced the husband is lying. Had he submitted to a polygraph, he'd have had more credibility. Yes, he could have been unaware of his wife's drinking since they worked different shifts, as an astute reviewer has noted. However, it is completely implausible that he and his wife had a pleasant morning and only consumed coffee before she got behind the wheel with 5 kids under 9 years old. They either smoked weed together, or he saw her do it, or they had a fight, or SOMETHING.
Otherwise what was the point of all the interviews saying how great she was? Something happened to change that on that day. The immature (worthless, actually, once you learn he resents having a child left alive to care for) Daniel knows some things. I truly believe that he is lying about any number of things that would shed considerable light on the events of that terrible day.
For instance, the private investigator they hired -- did Daniel really pay the guy? That would explain the man's reluctance to return his calls. It also explains why Jay, Daniel's sister-in-law, was "told not to answer the phone" when the investigator called her. Daniel didn't want Jay to know he hadn't actually sent all the money to the investigator.
I did some research and learned that Danny later sued his wife's brother, Warren Hance -- the father of Emma, Alyson, and Katie, who all died in the car with Diane at the wheel. The ridiculous reason? Diane was driving their van, which she borrowed to transport all the children and Daniel claimed that Warren was "vicariously liable" as the owner of the minivan.
Conclusion: Daniel Shuler is a piece of crap, his wife was a complete mess, and their dysfunctional life has ruined a lot of other lives.
