14. Well, the local authorities don't know who did it at this point. Do you?

Authorities acknowledged they are investigating the possibility of a link between the slaying and the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, which the Kaufman County district attorney’s office, including Hasse, has been actively involved in prosecuting.

But they quickly added that to their knowledge, Hasse was not currently handling any cases involving the violent organization. They said labeling the organization as the focus of their investigation would be premature.

And despite the slaying bearing the earmarks of a “hit,” authorities stopped short of labeling the killing as that.

“We’re pursuing all possible cases that he’s been working, but we can’t be confident that’s where it came from,” Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh said. “We can’t say it was a hit. We’re pursuing all possibilities.”
