That pond was right behind William McCloud’s grandmother’s house.

“He had been at Lowe’s Motel in Wilkesboro and there had been a pipe burst and it got his feet wet and somebody stole his money and he needed money to get back to Bristol,” said Mary McCloud, William’s grandmother.

She says her grandson showed up to her house wet on Friday before he was arrested with Angela Boswell- who Evelyn’s mom Megan says was the last person to see the toddler. They were arrested after a BOLO was sent for a gray BMW.
 
“He’s devious enough. His record from youth up, he’s been devious enough to be involved in something,” said Mary.
