Josh Olzak's ex-wife testifies at Tanner Cox sentencing hearing
Olzak's second ex-wife, Gabrielle Olzak, who shares a daughter with Josh, told Pickett she and Josh were still in a relationship at the time of his death. “We were a family still," Gabrielle said. "We watched TV shows together, we ate family meals together, and our bills were still together." She went on to describe seeing Josh in the hospital the day after he was attacked. “He did not know who I was,” Gabrielle said. “He kept asking about his babies and wanted to know that they were okay.” “On Mother’s Day I got a call that the doctors had to sedate him,” Gabrielle said. “When I got there, he was tied to a bed and when I saw him on a ventilator, I knew he was gone.” She said she told her daughter that “your daddy got very, very hurt and he can’t live in his body anymore.” The young child then collapsed to the ground in tears. Gabrielle said their daughter still sends Josh text messages and videos - wishing he would respond. “She told me one day she wishes she was dead so she can be with daddy,” Gabrielle said crying. “Tanner hunted him down and hurt him and killed him. This, for us, is a life sentence."
