Video Shows Alleged Dallas Killer Returned For Cash Gernon's Twin

DALLAS, TX — As investigators try to make sense of why 18-year-old Darriynn Brown would allegedly abduct a sleeping child from his crib, a new layer to the mystery is now unfolding.

According to reports, the same surveillance camera that captured Brown lifting Cash from his crib shows the alleged kidnapper returning some four hours later, touching his twin brother as he slept, then pacing the room before it seems he was startled and left the little boy unharmed.

The revelation adds another baffling incident to the killing of four-year old Cash Gernon, whose bloodied body was found in the middle of a suburban Dallas street over the weekend. At the moment, Brown remains the only suspect, although he has so far only been charged with burglary and kidnapping.

Still unanswered:

• Why did it take the boy's caretaker, Monica Sherrod, hours to call the police? The boy was abducted around 5 a.m. and discovered dead close to 7 in the morning. Sherrod reported Cash missing around 11 a.m. Does anyone have a four-year old who sleeps past 9 a.m.? What was happening in Sherrod's house in those intervening hours?

• Where is Cash's father, 31-year old Trevor Gernon? He left his twins with Sherrod in March, apparently without telling their biological mother their whereabouts. Why did he leave, and where is he now? In a case that's made national headlines, how has he not heard that his child has been slain?

Adding to the already chilling circumstances of the case, Dallas police have issued a warning to the public that fake GoFundMe accounts have been established pretending to benefit the family of the dead little boy. "Please," said a statement, "verify the source before donating."
