She says Dylan was diagnosed with a hyperactive disorder and that throughout his education, he attended special ed classes for kids with learning disabilities. He eventually also got involved in drugs, like his older brother, Zach. When Cindy watched the video of Dylan being interviewed by agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, she didn't see a criminal.

We reached out to the two investigators, Brent Booth and Jeff Jackson, to ask them about Dylan's mother's allegation. We didn't hear back from Booth, and TBI declined to comment on Agent Jackson's behalf. As we said earlier, prosecutors would later point out that Dylan's intellectual disabilities didn't extend to things like driving and that he was able to function throughout the day.

But Cindy says she believes even before the TBI interview, there was something bigger going on with Dylan. Remember, throughout the spring of 2014, Dylan had been in jail on that gun charge not related to the Holly Bobo case.

In August of 2014, he was released, but rather than going back home to live with his mom, prosecutors arranged to have him released into the custody of a private citizen and former Memphis police officer named Dennis Benjamin. Dylan's mother, Cindy, says she had no idea who this Dennis Benjamin was. And she says she had no way to get in touch with her son because of the conditions of his release.

This arrangement is something that has struck me as unusual since the beginning. We interviewed a former U.S. Marshal for this story, and I asked him, is it normal for someone to be released into the custody of someone who they don't know and who is a former law enforcement agent? He agreed that it was, quote, real strange.

The circumstances of why Dylan went to live with Dennis Benjamin are unclear. The records concerning his release are still under seal. But after Holly's remains are found in September 2014, Dennis Benjamin is the one who calls TBI to let them know Dylan has more to tell them about the Holly Bobo case. It is this call that kicks off the hours-long interview you heard earlier.
