Lauren Vickers, a neighbor of the Grays in Jefferson, Georgia, described the situation as &#8220;constant abuse,&#8221; adding that it was &#8220;very, very sad.&#8221; She noted that the family moved into her neighborhood in 2022 and faced issues right away. Vickers recounted instances where Colt and his sister were locked out of their home by their mother at night, leading them to bang on the door and cry for her help. She also mentioned that Colt has two siblings and sometimes the youngest would come asking for food, stating there were &#8220;no clean clothes&#8221; available for them. <\/p>\n<p>Charles Polhamus, whose daughter Marcee is Colt&#8217;s mother, remarked that while Colt was a good kid, he grew up in a hostile environment where his father verbally abused him and his daughter. Marcee Gray separated from her husband Colin in 2022 after nearly 14 years of marriage due to abuse. In social media posts from December 2022 and May 2023, she shared about relocating with her children to her hometown in South Georgia and claimed they were doing well.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2023, Barrow County Sheriff\u2019s deputies checked on the family after Marcee reported not hearing from them for two weeks. During this visit, Colin presented a state document indicating he had custody arrangements involving supervision for Marcee&#8217;s visits with the children. A month later Colin accused Marcee of vandalizing his truck with derogatory words.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2023, Marcee was arrested on an active warrant; police found methamphetamine and other drugs in her vehicle during this incident. She later admitted to damaging Colin&#8217;s truck and pleaded guilty to several charges related to property damage and family violence; she served one month in jail followed by five months probation during which she could not contact Colin directly.<\/p>\n<p>Polhamus stated that his daughter lost custody of her children after failing a drug test.
