Baseball player, Blake Bivens has said he was at the airport when he logged on to Facebook and found out his family had been murdered.
Bivens, who is a minor league pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays’ farm team said this during a service at The River Church in Danville, Virginia on Sunday.
Naratting how he discovered his wife, baby son and mother-in-law were shot to death last August, Bivens, 24, said: “First headline I see is two females and a small child were gone.”
He added in the confessional, which was broadcast over Facebook: “I immediately knew that was them. I found out my family was gone over a Facebook headline. I just immediately began to scream in the middle of the airport.”
Bivens’ wife Emily, 25, their 14-month-old son Cullen, Emily’s mother, Joan Bernard, 64, and a pet dog were found slain in their Keeling, VA home while Bivens was out on a road trip with the Montgomery Biscuits.
