Hawkins originally said the girls collapsed while smelling flowers at Flat Rock Lake last June. The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office later revealed the girls were intentionally left in a car overnight, while Hawkins allegedly hung out with friends, one of whom was Franke.

Franke is charged with two counts of abandoning or endangering a child, two counts of injury to a child and two counts of manslaughter.
