The boy was at the wrong place, being left with his grandparents for overnight stay till his mother went to pick him up and found all three gone, with bloody crime scene. The bodies or remains have never been found. I remember during those days I briefly joined the websleuths (got banned before long for being less dumb than permitted lol). The speculations were very bone chilling.

It seems the trial still hasn't started.

Wrong memory. Garland is the brother of the common-law wife of a son (Allen) of Alvin Liknes.
