FAMILY OF SUSPECTS OFFERS SYMPATHIES, APOLOGIES TO HOFFMAN FAMILY

Family members of two men arrested in connection with the death of a
Tallahassee woman are offering condolences to her parents.

"My heart goes out to (Rachel Hoffman's mother), and I apologize for
whatever part my son has played in this event," Judianna Freeman, the
mother of Deneilo Bradshaw, said.

Officials with the Tallahassee Police Department say murder charges
are pending against Bradshaw, 22, and his brother-in-law, Andrea J.
Green, 25. Police say Bradshaw and Green helped lead them Friday to
the body of Rachel Hoffman, 23. She was last seen Wednesday while
working as a TPD informant.

Freeman, and her husband, Karey, say they think it's possible the two
men were mixed up in the situation, but they do not believe the men
are responsible for Hoffman's death.

"I am in disbelief that our child would commit such a crime as to take
someone's life," said Karey Freeman, Bradshaw's stepfather and Green's
father-in-law.

Green and Bradshaw were arrested Thursday in Orlando. The Freemans,
who live in Tallahassee and own two landscaping and nursery companies,
contacted the Tallahassee Democrat to speak about the situation.

"This is not the child we raised," Judianna Freeman said. "If someone
had told me he would do this, I would have said no."

Bradshaw grew up in the Virgin Islands. Judianna Freeman, his mother,
said she took him to church every Sunday when he was a child. The
family moved to Tallahassee in 2004. The Freemans have 10 other
children between them.

Green married Karey Freeman's 26-year-old daughter less than a year
ago.

Bradshaw and Green had been working at a car detailing shop on West
Tennessee Street next to the Greyhound Bus Station for the last few
months.
