The boy said that as the vehicle sank in the Hudson's murky waters, his mother began to have second thoughts, according to Police Lt. Pat Arnold.

He apparently said the same thing to Meave Ryan, the woman who first found him.

Ryan, who was driving by when she spotted the wet and shivering boy, said he told her that his mom was frantic and very upset because her boyfriend was cheating on her.

Armstrong said the mother climbed into the back seat of the minivan, embraced her four children and repeated several times, "If I am going to die, we're all going to die together."
