Daniel Marsh smirking in court

Daniel was born on May 14, 1997, in a city in Northern California called Davis. He was born just 17 months after his older sister, Sarah. For a while, Daniel's mother, Sheri Hosking, was a stay-at-home parent. Taking care of her two young children, as well as the household. This presented a normal amount of stress in her marriage.

Sheri later recounted that it was when she decided to go back to work that her marriage began to crumble. Not only was she working full time, but she still was the one taking care of the children and the household.

Sheri said that her husband, Bill Marsh, had an unbearable temper, and she spent most of her energy trying to keep him calm, especially because his outbursts had become increasingly frequent and usually occurred in front of Daniel and Sarah.

But it wasn't just Bill's temper that was the problem in their marriage. Sheri began having an affair with a woman who was Daniel's former kindergarten teacher. After 12 years of marriage, in 2008, Bill and Sheri divorced.

Sheri was given full custody of the children. She moved out of the house and into a duplex around the corner from the home she had shared with Bill. Daniel and Sarah went back and forth between the two.
