Norman said his daughter had recently moved back to Texas from New York where she worked as a music executive for a record company. Now living in Dallas, Norman was working for her family business.
"I want them to know she was a loving person. She loved to have fun with people, laugh with people. She had a big laugh," he said.
Dallas police detectives are working with the Conway Police Deparment in the ongoing investgations into both deaths.
