The group of five teens had ventured out on Christmas night to console a friend, Abraham Alonzo, a friend of the twins’ mother, told the Bay Area’s FOX 2.
“They said, ‘Hey Mom, one of our friends is having a hard time with Christmas with their family,' so she let them go so they could go and console her and be with her and … you know. They didn’t come back.”
