SUMMARY: The family of Dale Mobile and their attorneys are yet to agree on a suitable doctor to perform an independent autopsy. The initial autopsy by the state concluded drowning after Mobile's disappearance in March but did not determine the manner of death. Mobile's brother-in-law, Spence B., stated that attorney Lisa Ross has reversed her previous approvals of pathologists for the procedure. Despite the setback, both parties are continuing negotiations to reach an agreement. Updates on this case will be monitored and reported by 12 News.
