I also wondered if someone moved the body thinking it would be in the best interests of TB’s mother.

If they thought a suicide or that there was something embarrassing about the way he was found that and that it would upset his mother, could they have moved his body thinking they were protecting her?

Welcome @Awakening. You have some good points.

Welcome @Awakening. You have some good points.

It’s an intriguing case. Thank you for the welcome.

I'm not sure Tom's friends would have been aware of the family suicides enough to decide they would be protecting Tom's mother by moving the body. Penny stated she never shared with her children about details of her father's suicide, but it's understandable in a small town that it wouldn't be a secret. Thanks for joining in and sharing your thoughts!

This was posted on Kleins FB page --- they are asking the public if they recognize this persons voice. While I am sure its the call is a nasty joke, it is somewhat related to Toms case so I am linking it here.

He is saying Caroline-

I heard Caroline....but at the 19 mark. Who? ______ Tom in the ____ and planted Tom's phone out on Lake Marvin road?
Klein or Pine. I am assuming he is saying Klein since he called it into Klein.

 

[jellybean96]

According to Klein's FB post today, they've identified the voice and Klein will have more to say about it later.

Whoever it was is disgusting. Tom deserves so much more than evil drunken commentary from this ignorant waste of oxygen.

Just checked Klein's FB page to see if there was an update on the caller to his office and see that the Hemphill County DA is saying that he think's Tom's death was a suicide. It's beyond frustrating and my heart goes out to Tom's family. It must be incredibly tiring to have things continue to pop up.

My heart goes out to the residents of Canadian, TX, Hemphill County and the surrounding areas. The wildfires and the strong winds are not a good combination. Hospital patients and assisted living homes are evacuated in Canadian, Texas

New month, new lawsuit.

Over the past week, we have received press inquiries into the rumors of this firm entering into a lawsuit under the Texas Open Records Act (552) with the City of Abernathy, Texas, in the Thomas Brown case. We can confirm the rumors to be true.

If you go to Kleins FB page, you can read the details. It involves Michael Cane (the guy who was throwing accusations on the radio), Pyne Gregory (the deputy who found Tom), and the police chief of Abernathy, Texas. It's quite the web that has been weaved, and IMHO, pretty interesting.

I had seen where they found a woman who appears to have died in unnatural circumstances. Thankfully, they called in other LE to investigate.

Wow...ORR's are just not something you fool around with! Can't believe they didn't even respond. There's always been something that didn't sit right with me about Pyne Gregory "just happening" upon Tom's remains while searching for deer shed during working hours. There's so much more to this story and maybe there will be some interesting information forced to come to light with the lawsuit.

I agree. It was a huge risk not to respond at all. I wonder what they are hiding -- it has to be something or why else ignore the request? They could have responded and redacted whatever they wanted to if they had responded earlier. Now, it's all got to be handed over. I know Abernathy is a small town, but come on. Surely the city management knew they couldn't ignore this.

And don't get me started with Pyne. I hadn't paid much attention to Michael Crane before now.....I honestly figured he was just playing investigator on his own. But now that there is a red thread to his boss....who is also Pynes boss....I don't know. Something is hinky IMHO.

Gee thanks @jellybean96. This case might just be solved one of these days. Small town LE is just not equipped to handle cases like this. I just watched a Dateline episode about a double murder in New York State that ended up involving a former Police Chief, his wife (an investigator) and 1 of the other 3 officers from a little town very close to Canadian called Sunray, TX. Let me make it clear the Sunray police department was not involved in cover-up. But it just goes to show the caliber of SOME LE in small town America. (I guess it can be in any LE agency, we just do not expect this from LE).

FULL EPISODE: The Plan

The brazen shooting of Josh Niles and Amber Washburn terrorizes the small town of Sodus, NY sending police on a manhunt for their killer.

It is going to be interesting to see what comes from the lawsuit.

I have been vested into this case quite a bit lately.

Sorry if this has been mentioned repeatedly, but has anyone jogged the idea that neither the Sheriff or his mother were involved in planting the phone?

I have the strong feeling a few of his friends know what happened to him. My impression after looking into this a bit is that his friends either found him after he took his own life, or was killed accidently/on purpose, and then moved his body afterwards. I think one of them held on to the phone and then planted it along the search route in the hopes that Tom's case could get closure and possibly rid themselves of some extremely guilty feelings.

 

[lonewanderer]

I also wondered if someone moved the body thinking it would be in the best interests of TB’s mother.

If they thought a suicide or that there was something embarrassing about the way he was found that and that it would upset his mother, could they have moved his body thinking they were protecting her?

Pretty much what I think, too.

I think a friend who knows what really happened planted the phone, not the sheriff or his mother.

I think they moved his body to cover up the suicide or accident/murder.

 

[lonewanderer]

I may be overthinking things, but the helicopter ride that lead to his truck seemed a little suspicious. We have seen things like this before with overly helpful friends that were involved, like the Skyler Neese case.

Did his friend know more? Like, where to look for the truck?
