Mackensie Alexander remains in custody and no arrest report has been released. My understanding is he allegedly confronted the man who left behind his father, Jean Odney Alexandre, on a berry-picking trip. Background on a sad and troubling story: https://t.co/cvEiTaptJe

It sounds like Alexander isn't buying the berry-picking trip.  There certainly appears to be more to the story than what is known at the moment.  Hopefully Alexander's father is found alive and well.
