– He has written D’Sean’s name. She has written Devin’s name. And then I think there was an L. I don’t know what he wrote down there, but he took a marker and tapped it because he wanted to know, Hollins told CBS in a TV interview.
Supplier Catherine Herridge asked this, Does the boy know they are dead.
– No no. I can’t, Hollins shook his head.
