Found it....

Brandon, Fla.- Dorthea Leonard never knew Michael Hughes. The boy was only six when her brother snatched him at gunpoint from an Oklahoma elementary school and triggered a two month nationwide manhunt. But she claims to know Michael- whose whereabouts remain unknown- was murdered during the kidnapping three years ago.
Her brother Franklin Delano Floyd confessed to her in a telephone call from the Oklahoma County jail that he drowned the first grader in a motel bathtub, she said.
Leonard said the boy spent the last tragic moments of his life defying the man who claimed to be his father.
Floyd told his sister he dunked the 45 pound boy under the bath water, allowing him to surface three times to angrily ask the "brat" whether he loved him.
The brown haired boy initially shoved Floyd and said no. After Mochael repeatedly refused to say "yes", he was killed for it, she said.
The 62-year-old mother of four is making the story public for the first time....
"If Michael's dead, then he deserves to pay for Michael's death, and not with the comfort of sitting in prison til he dies," Leonard said in the living room of her home near Tampa "I want him put to death, I think he should die just like Michael did. A heinous crime. "
A formerly sealed court document obtained by The Oklahoman alleges Floyd confessed to three people including Leonard, that he killed Michael in Georgia........
