“Never thought I would see this in my life,” she said. “We have a family history where unfortunately our aunt went missing and unfortunately she did not come back to us. So this happening with my mother’s grandson brings that all back and my mother is hurting hurting, hurting. She sent me out to represent. She said: ‘I can’t go through this again...I lost my sister now it’s my grandson?'…she’s back in Connecticut she couldn’t make the trip."
