Moran remembers the moment she met Rodgers.
“He seemed too, how do I say this? Too good,” she said. “You know how somebody puts on that real, real front.”
Moran, whose granddaughter stayed with Rodgers at one point, described him as violent.
“She did say…he wasn’t nice,” she said. “I was glad she got away from him.”
Rodgers’ girlfriend, Taylor Shomaker, described him as a perfect, non-violent person who worked 16-hour days to provide for her and her children.
“I thought I completely knew him, was about to marry him,” she said.
As for Rodgers’ nickname, “The Hammer,” Shomaker said his father gave him that name as a child.
