Dunston claimed Vernon met his mother, Dilcy, in Tennessee, and got her pregnant when he was just 16. Dilcy raised him in Florida and died 10 years ago. "My mother told me just before she died who my daddy was, and where he worked," Dunston — a divorced dad who lives in a church-run shelter — told The ENQUIRER.
