"The last text Alan had from Keiron was the one he sent back saying 'love you too'," his stepmum Hannah Gill told the Shropshire Star."The police asked if this was where Keiron lived. I kept saying 'he's not here' because he'd gone out. They said 'but is this where he lives? We need to come in'. They said Alan needed to come in as well and told us we'd better sit down. You know when they say that you're getting something not expected.
