“Dylan was walking down the aisle toward the bus,” she explained. The bus driver said he did not see anyone.

Days later, when Shawna, 50, visited the site with her sister Leslie Landon, she decided the bus driver’s story was not credible.

“There is no way this bus driver saw my son walking towards the bus. My son was on the bike path. My sister said to me, ‘Shawna, this is impossible.’
