stepbrother

Their stepbrother, Joel, had helped them get hired; he had worked there for about two years, family members said.

Ruiz told the paper her boyfriend’s brother and stepbrother were among the missing.

Josh Peck and Bell, the show's titular characters who portrayed two teenage stepbrothers, worked together across the span of four seasons from 2004 to 2007.

“My dad pretty much wrote him off at that point,” said Verzi’s stepbrother, Melvin, who refers to himself as a gun collector and a onetime professional gambler.

The post notes that Teixeira's stepbrother and stepfather were both in the military as well.
