What's your name?

So you're getting assumptions from 8th graders in school and using them to try and validate your argument?

I have no argument...other than why would a boy who cannot swim go into the water at 3 am in the morning? unless he was hit on the head or drugged, or something like that?

Its no secret who Cody was camping with, just ask his friends from school.

Debra,

I was not saying it was your boys. I only have first names of Josh and Brandon, and evidently, Josh is really guilty!

Johnston Morello 08/22/2011 22:29:26

How would you have the names when the only name mentioned in the newspaper was Cody Riddle's?

Debra McCorkle 08/21/2011 15:32:16

Well, gg ,let me answer for you. Brandon won't say anthing because he was not there and has never been there and as for Josh, instead of commenting, why don't you ask him? Do not associate my sons as to having anything to do with this tragic accident. We have never heard nor met Cody Riddle.
