Glenn’s mother and stepfather, Shawnetta and Barkee Faust, were arrested and charged with murder in June.

Investigators told FOX Carolina that the Fausts had recently moved from Texas to a new subdivision in Fountain Inn. They had only lived there at their new home for a couple of weeks, according to authorities.
