Seagroves revealed that her sister and mother had been looking for the little boy and his twin since their father took them in March. According to her, the twins were kept with a woman known as Monica Sherrod.

Cash's aunt noted that none of their family members were notified. She said Sherrod falsely claimed to be the mother of the 4-year-old and has tried to gain financially from his death.

The GoFundMe was set up to help raise money for transportation of the Cash's body to their hometown and support the bills for the funeral arrangements.

In the final segment of her note, Seagroves assured the donors that every dime would be put into everything she had mentioned. She pleaded to be put into prayers alongside her family member while hoping for justice to be served.

Cash's dad's girlfriend, Sherrod, seemingly had vital information about her lover's son. She explained that while she slept, the little boy was kidnapped by Darriynn Brown, who broke into the house.
