This is so sad.
I'm not seeing that PS has a brother named Steven. I believe MAS's dad's name begins with a 'J' and is one of the musician's brothers. :waitasec:
It's a very common Spanish surame, and Spanish surnames are very common in Louisiana.
Also, failure to register as a sex offender is a federal offense under the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act of 2006. TS is charged in the Middle District Court of North Carolina whch has three sites, Greensboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem.
