Franco Romani

In his mid to late 40's.
As a police officer, he worked under Daniel Collins. After investigating an accident shortly before Tony and Jennifer wedding, he became a close friend of the family. Shortly after the shooting, he was told the truth about Jennifer's death. Daniel Collins did not go into details, but Jennifer had been put in a witness protection program to prevent the real killer from making another attempt on her life. He was approached by Jason regarding the suspicions Jennifer confided in him. Despite the potential risk to his career, Franco began a covert investigation with the help of Jason and Louise Baxter, whom he refers to as Sam. When Michelle receives blackmail calls surrounding Jennifer's death and Dylan's confession, he is asked by Tony to reinvestigate Jennifer's murder. Concerned about what Glenda uncovered about Michelle, Tony also ask that he looks into Michelle's past - a task complicated by the fact that Daniel Collins is Michelle's brother. Tony and Jason's growing suspicions about Jennifer's death were making it difficult for Franco to maintain the secrecy surrounding Jennifer's death. Treading carefully not to reveal the truth, his investigation did turn up evidence that Dylan did not shoot Jennifer, but instead was covering up for someone. He convinced Dylan to at least tell everyone what really happened the night Jennifer was shot. On their way to Tony's, they're involved in a car accident. Franco only suffered minor injuries. After reading a copy of Jason's novel, he started to put the pieces of Jennifer's murder together.
