The boys, ages 15 and 17, are accused of killing seventh-grader Autumn Pasquale who disappeared Saturday and stuffing her body into a recycling bin. The body was found Monday night.
Beverly Davis, who says she went to school with Autumn’s father and the suspects’ mother, said the boys stole one of her children’s bikes. It was the type of theft others also say the brothers were known for committing.
