Reply #198: UPDATE, MORE INFO....passenger/cousin talks to media...

I found another article, seems to have some odd bits still. Mom says she didn't know the kids were walking, cousin says she was supposed to met them halfway. I am sure there will be more bits coming out, more confusion, etc. Cousin says "he dropped the kids off at 9 am", father says they started walking at noon. This is a tragic story, and I am skeptical of the report, from the little bit I've read.

Aragon's cousin, Kenneth Quintana, who was with the family talked about what happened that day and requested not to show his face. According to Quintana, the car they were in got stuck on the road around 9am Christmas morning shortly after turning off Highway 75.

He says it was their understanding that the kid's mother would meet them halfway on Magic Road. Quintana says Robert Aragon originally didn't let the kids leave when the car got stuck.

According to Quintana the two kids started walking around noon toward their mother's home. Quintana says that's when he started walking back to Highway 75 to get the car unstuck while Aragon stayed with the car.

Court documents show Aragon told police he dropped the kids off at 9am. Around 4pm, Quintana says he and Aragon went looking for the kids by following their footprints. Quintana says they had to turn back toward the car when the weather got bad. The criminal complaint filed in court shows the boy was found at around 11pm Christmas night and the girl a few hours later around 2am....(little bit more)
