Bevers-McGivney refused to talk to cops about why he was covered in bl🌺ood, and only asked to speak to a lawyer, the court docs ♑said.

He was taken to Carroll Cou🅷nty Jail while the♈ search continued for the then-still-missing teen.

Jackson’s remains were found in a field shortly be🐬fore 9 a.m. Monday, the authorities said.
