The bereaved parents told the story of that tragic day on Monday’s Good Morning America — and revealed the final words Scott imparted on Caleb and his 12-year-old brother, Nathan, before they ran off to the Verr├â┬╝ckt:
“Before they took off, I said, ‘Brothers stick together,’ and he said, ‘I know, Dad.’ I said, ‘Look at me. Brothers stick together.’ ‘I know, Dad.'”
How heartbreaking.
