Tyler McMillan was tied to the tree by Brice and Sandra and left over night. He was let go the next day. And again tied a second night. His stepmother Sandra found him unconscious the following afternoon at 4:30. The temps were 100 degrees. Tyler McMillan, bound and tied to a tree had no food and water while tied. The injuries must have caused him severe pain. The insects that bit him relentlessly must have driven him crazy. Remember, he couldn't swat a mosquito, Tyler was bound and tied. Torture? Torture? You bet.
