Neighbors tell Eyewitness News reporter Phil Lipof that the suspect did not have mental issues and was a normal kid. They said Nelson Matos was divorced, and his ex-wife lived in Florida.
In the 2004 Randolph High School yearbook, Nelson Matos purchased a yearbook ad that included a picture of his Brendon as a young boy. The ad, taken out the year Brendon graduated, said, "Congratulations. You have always been the center of my life and as you grew, I was very proud of your accomplishments. Cherish your high school memories. Your journey continues; keep up the momentum and continue to make the wisest choices because success will chase you."
