Criminal Charges Filed
After reviewing the available evidence and Waterman’s statements, authorities moved forward with charges against Mumby.
In July 2025, court records show she was charged with reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Following Waterman’s death later that year, prosecutors updated the case. The charges were upgraded to vehicular homicide, reflecting the change in circumstances.
The legal process is ongoing as investigators and the courts continue reviewing the case.
A Family Looking Toward the Future
Despite the tragedy, Waterman’s family is now focused on another important matter: the future of the child they believe is his.
His mother has said the family hopes to gain custody so the baby can grow up surrounded by relatives in New York.
According to family statements, they believe this would honor Daniel’s wishes and keep his memory alive within the family.
A Story Still Unfolding
The crash and its aftermath highlight how quickly moments of conflict on the road can lead to life-changing consequences. As the legal case continues, investigators and the courts will determine the next steps.
For Waterman’s family, the focus remains on remembering his life and ensuring a future for the child they believe carries his legacy.
