For those who may need a reminder ...

According to the detectives, Trails Carolina protocols dictated that the boy would have to sleep on the floor of the bunkhouse the first night. The records indicate the base layer of it is a heavy plastic that is cut approximately six feet and tied on each end with a string. On top is a sleeping bivy, which is a small tent. One side is collapsed, and the other side is held up with a flex pole. A sleeping bag is inside the bivy. On the zipper of the bivy is a small alarm that goes off when you exit. That device was seized along with other items.

Around midnight, the boy began to experience a panic attack. According to the detectives' warrants, the two counselors stood along the wall. They told detectives the boy experienced panic and high anxiety but according to the warrants, “didn’t mention if they attempted to assist him.” The counselor did mention to detectives that the boy could exit the bivy at any time, but when he described it to detectives they kept stating, "'we' would open or close the bivy." They claim the boy was checked at midnight, 3 a.m., and 6 a.m. and found dead at 7:45 a.m., and he was cold to the touch and stiff.
