On Sunday evening, Collins' parents, Michael and Leslie, who live in Falling Water, declined to make a statement about the arrest but released a statement to local media.
"First, they would like to thank their family and friends in the Falling Water community and those from around the Chattanooga area for the outpouring of love and support they have received since the news of their son Jordan's passing became known. In addition, they want to thank the men and women of the Red Bank Police Department for their tireless efforts as they continue to work this case and bring the individual or individuals responsible for this heinous act to justice.
"This has been and will continue to be a very difficult time for everyone who cared about Jordan, especially his parents and grandparents. Jordan was a loving son and grandson and he will be missed by all those who knew him. It is difficult to try and understand why something so senseless like this has to happen but the family will continue to place their faith in God and to lean on Him for peace and comfort.
"The family respectfully requests that their right to privacy be honored as they continue to mourn the loss of their son but to also celebrate his life over the coming days."

i second that ernest, i would also like to know if there is random burglaries/homocides happening in red bank or if this was an isolated incident!!
Red Bank Detective Sgt. Dan Knight should release a statement to either put the citizens of red bank on alert or ease their fears!!
I think Red Bank detective Sgt. Dan Knight should arrest both of you idiots for passing along unsubstantiated and fabricated LIES to infer something other than gutless thugs have broken into a home and killed someone for his credit card. And when he gets done arresting you two, he should arrest your parents for not raising their children any better than you two. For gosh sakes, please stay off message boards if you can't do any better than this kind of trash.
