If the family was not in the apartment, then where were they? The GF's daughter had an apartment in the same complex so they could have gone there I suppose. Then they would go back to the apartment on Sunday just long enough to call the ambulance and see Duncan off to the hospital. Then left again and come back just for the Dallas officials to come and take them away to their new home.
All possible, but none of it is likely.
None of us saw any of this first hand.
We tend to believe what we are told by news readers.
The reporters didn’t witness the family or these events first hand, either.
Someone feeds them the information, all the news we need to know.
