GA - Twin brothers miss flight to Boston, found dead 24 hours later in Georgia mountains, 14 Mar 2025

Some private individuals/dealers may be reluctant to sell to a 19 year old, especially if it appears he has no knowledge of a gun. Even hate to mention her name in regards to the twins, but Jodie A. stole her grandmother’s. Not exactly sure when the general public knew that information.

Here is the reality. Long time ago, I was very anxious that my son's friend brought a BB gun into our house. Next morning i complained to my Texas-born colleague. Him, "well, in Texas all my cousins were hunting from 12 years of age." So I don't assume that them having a gun meant anything nefarious or illegal.
 
This statement left me wondering:

“How did they end up out in the mountains? They don’t hike out there, they’ve never been out there,” Brawner said. “They don’t know anything about Hiawassee, Georgia. They never even heard of Bell Mountain, so how did they end up right there?”

When she said "They don’t hike out there, they’ve never been out there,”.. It left me wondering do they Hike at all? Are they the type to go hiking? I could buy the "Murder-suicide" thing in this place easier if they were known to be hikers in other areas... If they weren't hikers at all, it would be hard for 1 twin to lure the other twin to going there out of no where. But of course if you are making a suicide pact I could see how you might go into the woods even if not a hiker by nature.

If they were going to honor a suicide pact, I would think they wouldn't have bothered to get flight tickets they weren't going to board.

If they were not hikers, & foul play happened, perhaps they staged the scene to look like a "Murder suicide" and in that case I would think they were picked up somewhere and brought here to be executed.

This also leaves me wondering if police have evidence of them arriving here alone then, to discount someone else bringing them there. I would think they need to know how they arrived to make that call of "Murder-Suicide" otherwise it could be staged.

I think you've pinpointed part of what has felt off to me about this whole thing. While I feel like we still don't know much about these two young men, never (that I have seen) has it been mentioned that they were hikers or campers or outdoorsy types. Maybe they were & we just haven't seen it reported. But it just doesn't feel like a place they would choose to go. Just my gut feeling. MOO.

I agree there’s not been a lot of information about their personal interests.
 
I think we all feel the same way about it. We are missing a lot of info here. I want the police to prove why they think they went there alone before believing it was suicide situation at all.
How did they get there? They would have had to get a ride somehow or did they have a car there in a parking lot they left behind?
Whoever gave them the ride is who I would question if they went out there.
 
I think the details about this would be interesting because if it was a recent purchase, might relate to a plan to do this- or not. Also there are two of them and only one gun, so that is interesting- who obtained it, where, why, etc.

What the family said was: " "How did they end up out in the mountains? They don’t hike out there; they’ve never been out there," Brawner said. "They don’t know anything about Hiawassee, Georgia. They never even heard of Bell Mountain, so how did they end up right there?"Family rejects police 'murder-suicide' theory about twin brothers found dead at mountain summit

So, the family does not know everything these boys/young men do, or they really were not outdoor types and they really would not have ventured out and about. Pretty sure there are some people who really never go to parks or go hiking- just do not, not their thing.
bringing forward from the quoted: Pretty sure there are some people who really never go to parks or go hiking- just do not, not their thing.
That their parents don't know that they knew about Bell Mountain that they did not. It doesn't mean that somewhere across the years, maybe only one time, they didn't hang out with friends and went there as a group. As our children and their friends get drivers licenses and are out and about, we truly don't know everything they do nor everywhere they go. Not long ago, my son casually mentioned waterskiing with a group of friends and it was the first time I'd ever heard of it.

We the public and the family (per thier own words), have zero idea what evidence the GBI uncovered. Nor do we know who they have interviewed.

I would guess their cell phones and another key piece of evidence discovered right away, contain evidence of something that lead them to the possibility of M/S. The toxicology testing is probably SOP in a case like this? But it has crossed my mind, because they came out with the theory pretty quickly - that the twin who was suspected to have been murdered may have been drugged.

The family has not mentioned cell phones at all, other than to say they were found in their car. I would guess that means the twins were not on a family plan. Otherwise they would have been able to look at cell phone activity in the time surrounding their deaths.

No direct reason thats for sure, just what was said in that interview, which was personal opinion not a fact.
I don't know what happened to those boys, Im not 100% on m/s either,
not enough info out there to even guess what happened. I think more about how their car got into that parking lot and the luggage being in the car.

Was their luggage in the car? I thought family stated their cell phones and wallets.

UPDATE | Mystery on Bell Mountain

A mystery is unfolding on Bell Mountain in Towns County Georgia after the bodies of twin brothers from Lawrenceville were discovered nearly 90 miles from home.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is initially treating the case as a murder-suicide, but the victims’ family is pushing back, saying that explanation doesn’t add up.

Qaadir and Naazir Lewis, both 19, were found shot to death Saturday morning by a hiker at the summit of Bell Mountain, near the North Carolina border.

The family said the brothers had booked a flight to Boston for 7 a.m. last Friday but never made their flight. Just 24 hours later, they were found dead in an area the family said they had never visited before.
The family said the brothers' plane tickets were found in their wallets on the mountain.

TODAY I got a couple more questions answered from the family |

1) Was their car found at Bell Mountain? Yes
2) Last time they were actually seen? Stepmom originally said Saturday at 3 a.m. Investigator said 3 a.m. as well, then investigator changed it to Friday 11 p.m; he stated that he converted the time wrong.
3) Did they have their luggage with them? No
4) Phones on them? Found in car
5) Did they check into their flight? Unsure.


Beinging this post forward. Luggage not with them. Which matches a comment by family in the most recent article, stating the luggage was sitting by the door in their home, after he missed the Friday flight.

It must have changed.
it was reported earlier that the step mom said this: GA - Twin brothers miss flight to Boston, found dead 24 hours later in Georgia mountains, 14 Mar 2025
Cody Alcorn is a good source, I wonder who he got his info from.?
its also confusing about who was flying, it goes from both to one and back to both.
How do you know what to believe?
Still. need to know how they got past the gates into the park. If they were last seen at 11pm at home? is it a fact that their car was parked in a lot that has gated entry that closes at 10 or 11 , its approx a 2 hr drive to the mountain from their house

Pretty sure a family member recently stated that the luggage was at the door of the home. Obviously we now have conflicting info based on what was said earlier. One thing is for sure, GBI knows what they know. We're not privy at this time and the family spokes people have been all over the place.

2 pretty significant clues, the luggage location and the boarding pass(es) . It has not been very clear, better to wait for LE to confirm.

The post I brought forward, states Cody received that information from the family. This was back at the beginning. But of course now we know a little more. Just didn’t want the luggage being in the car to go unchecked.

I disagree. The recent reference to the luggage being at the door was the location of the bags when their mom said goodnight to the twins on Saturday. This is the same custodial parent who would be the party receiving info directly from LE, and who provided to the extended family talking to media that the luggage was found inside their vehicle but she would not comment on the contents of their bags when recovered.

 
Backing up to provide source information on luggage.

FCN: He missed the flight on Friday?

Tiger Harris:
On Friday morning, yeah. So, he had to rebook for Saturday.

His bags and everything were at the door to put back in the car to go to the airport on Saturday.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaarini Lewis: We last saw them on Friday night because they were at home, and we said goodnight that night.

FCN: And after that, they left that early morning and you didn’t see them again?

Kaarini Lewis:
Correct. We didn’t see them again after we said our goodnight.

FCN: Are you aware of the time they would have left the house that morning?

Kaarini Lewis:
No.
