According to father Colin Gray in recently released police interrogation transcripts, “[Colt’s] gone through a lot.”

“[Colt] just wants us to have a simple life. All that like, he should be excited about getting into 8th grade. It just was very difficult for him to go to school and not get picked on by, you know, it went from one thing to another to, you know, he was talking to the couple friends he has,” said Gray.
