According to TV5 reporter Andrew Keller, Carnel's mother, Jaimee, had allowed her boyfriend, Anthony Bennett, to move into her home about seven months ago. A week ago, Jaimee said she saw bruises on Carnel's buttocks. She asked Anthony about it and she said he admitted to doing it because the boy didn't clean his room. Jaimee then said Carnel complained about Anthony "being mean."
Jaimee said she went next door to the neighbors to see if they had seen Carnel. When they said no, she called police. Police told her to stay in her house. Jaime said she went into the bathroom and saw that the carpet was wet. She said Anthony claimed he was setting up a bath for her and it overflowed. Jaimee told TV5 she also found two brown spots on the carpet in the bathroom where it was wet and said it smelled like cleaning solution.
Jaimee also said she was looking through the laundry and found wet shorts that Carnel had been wearing that day.
