Thursday 9:am Bryce ran out of gas and called roadside assistance from the Buttonwillow Rest Area west of Bakersfield, a fact confirmed by the credit card company.
Thursday 12pm a roadside assistance serviceman named Christian delivers three gallons of gasoline to Bryce, according to a $20 credit card purchase for the fuel. Hes not answering his phone (at this time), his mother said.
Thursday 12:30pm Karen Laspisa calls serviceman Christian and asks about her son. He tells her he appears OK but adds: His eyes look a little red. Bryce does not answer his cell phone.
Thursday 9pm responding to a call from the mother, CHP officers stop and search Bryces car spotted on Lagoon Drive in Buttonwillow. Something happened in the whole 10 hours he was around there, she said. This may be the time at which he was considered missing with police first but then taken off that list.
Thursday 10pm Karen speaks to her son on the phone and asks: What are you doing? His response, she said, is: Im going to hang with friends later. Thirty minutes later, he bought a $1.71 beverage from a Shell gas station near Buttonwillow exit on the corner of Tracey Ave and Lagoon Dr. According to Uncle dragracerz he also bought $39 worth of gas at a Valero Gas station.
*Poster Note: My post should have stated that the gas station he got gas at was near the rest stop, not the truck stop. His mom said it was the Oasis Valero (not the Shell, which is where he got the drink and is also by the truck stop) that he put gas in his car at 12:30pm on Thursday and it was 5 miles away from where the police found him by the truck stop. She stated that several hours after he got the 3 gallons of gas the man who brought him the gas went back to check on him and he was in the same location, which means that he got gas and then went back to the same spot at the rest stop.
