Yasmine Brauner, shared a news clip on Facebook that captured

the siblings entering a shell gas station in Lawrenceville, Georgia,
just hours before a hiker stumbled upon their remains. The
family has uncovered that the twins had initially booked an
uber to the airport on Friday morning for a trip
to Boston, but their plans changed when the car arrived late,
causing them to miss their flight. This revelation has prompted

unreliable car to Bell Mountain and gain access to the facility,
which is locked up at nine PM while they were
still nearby, shared Samir Brauner, the twins aunt, she spoke
to eleven alive.

Nothing makes sense, you know, all even more clueless now.
They pretty much walked in insat the gas station, walked out,
drinking water, eating snacks, and dress how they would normally dressed.

But twelve hours later, the gas station footage shows the
twins around ten thirty PM, casually drinking water and eating
snacks at the gas station, dressed in their usual clothes.

made an official determination on the cause and manner of
death for the twins, citing the new need for further
forensic test As announced by the GBI, the town's County

(05:05):
Sheriff's office was the first to respond on March eighth,
and discovered that both young men had died from gunshod wounds.
Following a preliminary investigation, both the Sheriff's office and the
GBI indicated they believed the deaths might have been linked
to a murder suicide, although the medical examiner will provide
the final ruling. Family members are contesting the authority's murder

a thing that came from a loving family. They had
big dreams for their future, including they had just started
their own clothing line. The family has started a GoFundMe
campaign for funeral expenses. Yasmin, the boy's aunt, emphasized that
the twins had no known ties to the Bell Mountain area,

(05:48):
which is about ninety miles from their home, and noted
the gas station was just a short drive from their house.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
We will not let the case be swept under the rug.
We demand to know the truth to what happened up
and to our twins. The brother's oldest sister, Carrie Powe,
is also disputing the initial claims of suicide, saying they
were a shining light in my darkest moments. They were
my biggest supporters. They loved life. There's no way they
would have committed suicide. In an effort to promote awareness,
