Dr. Robert Bux, who previously served as deputy chief medical examiner, recalled the lessons he learned from Di Maio, including the importance of carefully explaining to family members how a loved one died. His daughter, Samantha Di Maio, was one of the Bexar County prosecutors who tried and convicted Jones on new murder charges in early 2020. She recalled tagging along with her father at the courthouse when she was a child, which got her interested in a career in law.
Di Maio wrote the first edition of the Forensic Pathology textbook with his father Dominick Di Maio, who was the Chief Medical Examiner in New York.
