“We were at my mother’s house and we dumped on the bag with toys and she started picking them through,” says Brado. “Then I heard her say, ‘Dad, Dad.’ ”

As Brado explains, she often takes Salem to visit her grandfather in her workplace after taking her to visit Grandma. “So when I heard,” Dad “over and over again, I thought she just wanted to see him.”

But then Brado and her mother Salem noticed one of the toys tightly in the fist.
