Girl orphaned by Super Bowl reporter’s drugging and a deadly Kansas crash is ‘extreme victim’, granddad says

Parents of Eleanor, 3, both died within a year. Her dad's killer was just convicted. Now a man faces trial in her mother's car crash death

Brian Hinck followed from a distance the suburban New Orleans trial resulting in the convictions on Thursday of three people charged in the drugging death of his son-in-law, Telemundo sports reporter Adan Manzano.

That was because he and his family had simultaneously been girding themselves for another trial scheduled to start four days later: that of the motorist charged in the car crash that killed his daughter, Ashleigh Boyd, in Topeka, Kansas.
