As ABC News prepared to air the first interview with the father of the UC Santa Barbara mass killer, a post on his wife’s Facebook account was promoting his photography.

Elliot Rodger, son of Peter Rodger, killed six and injured 13 more before committing suicide. Peter Rodger, a 2nd Unit Director on “Hunger Games,” will break his silence in an interview Friday on “20/20” with Barbara Walters — who is coming out of her brief retirement to do the interview, at his request.

The post appeared Friday on Peter Rodger’s wife Soumaya Akaaboune’s Facebook page to let her friends know about her husband’s night in the spotlight — and to tell them his “fine art photography” is for sale.
