"The Ambroses are grief stricken by the tragic loss of their precious daughters but deeply appreciative to the public for its support," said Mr. Mongeluzzi.

Mr. Mongeluzzi and his team of attorneys and forensic experts look forward to reviewing all relevant records and physical evidence as part of their representation. "We have handled similar catastrophes over the past several decades," he explained, "and we will use every investigative and litigation tool at our disposal to get to the truth on behalf of the Ambrose family, friends, and people of New York.

Mr. Boonswang said, "Everyone that knows Danielle and Peter, who came to New York from Maine in search of a better life for their family, knows them as gentle, loving, creative individuals whose whole universe revolved around their beautiful little girls."

"We are touched by the outpouring of love and support from literally Maine to New York and around the country. And we are stronger knowing people join us in mourning the loss of our daughters and share our desire to do whatever is possible to ensure that no other family can ever experience this kind of unimaginable pain," they said. The parents also expressed their appreciation to all those who continue to respect their requests for privacy as they grieve and prepare for the funeral later in the week in their native Maine.
