Holmes recalled that Bowman was a good father until Holmes' younger half-brother David was born, at which point Bowman reportedly lost interest in his stepchildren and began neglecting them.
Holmes se prisjećao da je Bowman bio dobar otac sve do trenutka kad se rodio njegov polu-brat David nakon čega je Bowman izgubio interes za ostalu djecu koja i nisu bila ustvari njegova i počeo ih u potpunosti zanemarivati.
