Following his murder, his widow Christine, bitter and angry that he had given his whole life to the organization, was determined to expose the Immortals and Watchers. Methos told Dawson no one would believe her , but her discovery of the database would lend credence to an otherwise outrageous story. in an attempt to convince her to stay quiet, Joe Dawson insisted: "[Don] thought our work was important...."

She, too, was killed by Kalas, as was the newspaper editor she went to, before her husband's data disk was seen by the world.
