A neighbor helped translate Sandy Gramajo’s Spanish, and she said that it was horrible. “The sound of the feeling, it even shook the apartment,” Gramajo said.

“She thought that if her son really had, happened something to him that she would prefer to die as well if something ever happened to her son,” the neighbor translated.
