💨 Abstract

The mother of murdered teen Mason Rist revealed that his killer, Anthony Snook, was found with a machete days before the attack but was released after claiming it was for fishing. Mason, 15, and his friend Max Dixon, 16, were stabbed in a revenge attack in Bristol. Nikki Knight, Mason's mother, criticized authorities for not detaining Snook despite the machete discovery, stating it was a missed opportunity to prevent the killings.
