For his parents, Jesse and Mollie, it’s a silent memorial. Fletcher was one of two students killed by a gunman who opened fire at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School…
The video shows what appears to be a roll of cash so thick it would impress Tony Soprano. White-gloved hands place the wad in an empty Doritos bag, and toss it casually under a tree. The camera pans to show people hanging out in the park, completely unaware of the treasure left in their midst….
