Bivens, who is a piece of the Tampa Bay Rays association, had gone to the air terminal that August multi day subsequent to discovering that specialists were searching for his brother by marriage, he reviewed Sunday during a discussion at the River Church in Danville, Va.
He at first couldn’t discover more data about the circumstance, inciting him to take a gander at Facebook while he sat tight for a flight home to Keeling, Va.
“First feature I see is two females and a little youngster were gone,” Bivens said during the administration. “I promptly realized that was them. I discovered my family was gone over a Facebook feature. I just promptly started to shout in the air terminal.”
Bivens’ brother by marriage, Matthew Bernard, was captured on three charges of first-degree murder regarding the passings of his mom, Joan Bernard, who was 62; his sister, Emily Bivens, who was 25; and his nephew, Cullen Bivens, who was 14 months.
During Sunday’s administration, Bivens said Morgan Ensberg — the supervisor of his Double-A group, the Montgomery Biscuits — called him soon after he saw that Facebook post and revealed to him he would be heading off to his home, as well, to help him. The group was in Chattanooga, Tenn., at that point.
Bivens, 24, had been hitched to Emily for almost four years.
The right-gave pitcher attempted to grasp what had occurred during the flights home.
“It’s practically sort of like, ‘This isn’t generally occurring.’ I was more in a condition of stun, Bivens said. “I would experience times of shaking. At that point I would begin to lose it a smidgen and separate and cry. It was somewhat similar to a circle. The plane rides just appeared as though they took for eternity.”
