The suspect then took off on foot and contacted his mother. The mother tried to take the suspect back to his father's house, but the suspect jumped out of a moving vehicle. Timothy Kildee and the mother connected and went out to look for their son. 

Another son was sleeping in the basement, according to Swanson. That son later heard a screaming match where the suspect shouted 'give me your wallet and keys.'
