Dorsey said in a separate interview with Fox:

“She is a basketball master; she can accomplish anything you ask of her. What do you want from me. I simply cannot believe that my only daughter is no longer with us. I do not think so. It was as if she had just said to me, “I’ll see you when I get back.”
