These are the sentiments of Terry's father (pictured). He spoke to KCAL9 by phone from his home in West Virginia.

Terry Dewayne Smith, Sr.
“The last words he told me was that he wanted to come home and be with his brother and sister here because they treated him like their little brother and not the way he was being treated out there.”
The distraught Smith told Branson his son’s half-brother had violent tendencies and that his ex-wife, Shawna, was always covering up for him.
“Shawna created the mess that [name withheld] is in. Definitely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt. She said Terry and [name withheld] got into it, so I knew there was more to this story than what Shawna and them were putting out there.”
He also accuses his ex-wife of trying to get more money from the state with a false diagnosis of autism.
“I think she was trying to up the ante. I’m not trying to be hateful or mean or nasty to Shawna,” he told Branson, “but that is my true belief and I don’t care who knows it.”
Smith says he will come to California to retrieve his son’s remains and then take him back to West Virginia for cremation.
