When the masked men were leaving, they took her brother Joseph with them on their motorcycle, after he insisted on going back inside to their father.She went to the funeral parlor to handle the processing of her father’s remains. She ended up haggling with the funeral management, as they were charging her a lot.But the funeral parlor, instead of giving her some legroom, told her that another body was found that could be her brother.
