Possibly - it seemed a bit strange at the time, and it was part of the reason I stared at him.Or just happy about getting money.
I still believe I saw him about 3 years ago. I still have the posters I made. I used an age progression software app to give a more accurate picture of how he looked then (very sunburnt, grooves in his face). The smile was just like the one on the family pictures on the family website.
Other people have thought they saw him in the same river bed area where I saw him - according to the response I got when I sent the tip to the official search page.
Did they search Castaic Lake initially? I can't recall now. It isn't very deep. It's a reservoir to provide water to L.A. County and I'd think they'd have searched it. Brian isn't the only missing person out that way.

About Castaic Lake
Castaic Lake is a deep body of water with the average depth ranging from 40-150 (out in the middle of the channel). It has a maximum depth of approximately 310 feet when the lake is completely full. Castaic lake is approx 5 miles long, however being shaped like a “V” each arm of the lake is just over 2 miles in length and ⅓ of a mile wide. Castaic Lake has 29 miles of shoreline; the lake spans over 2,235 acres.
Just posting this to refresh my memory. I doubt Bryce could have made it out to the middle of Castaic so I would think he would be closer to shore. That being said, unless he somehow weighted himself (which I know if far fetched) he would have surfaced at some point.
I also believe as some others that he is among the many homeless. In what city or town? I don't know.
I'm live close enough to Castaic that I keep an eye out for that beautiful red hair.
Interesting. I think it's great that only park service boats are allowed now. When I was quite young, my then husband and I would go to Castaic to take our boat out. It was the closest lake for us. Starting when my son was about three years old we went to the beach at Castaic about twice a monthRight. We have been to the Beach Park at the lake - it's ankle deep at the section right next to the parking lot (it's not a very accessible lake). They have buoys and ropes to mark the 10 feet depth spot (about 20 yards out, I'd say) and the buoy marks "deep water" (where in theory, boats could go - but I think it's only park service boats who go in there).
The lake is as deep as it gets right now (it's full - for the first time in my life). In 1918-2021 they actually drained a lot of the water out to fix the dam:

Castaic Dam Modernization Program
Department of Water Resources is modernizing its SWP facilities across the state, including Castaic Dam.water.ca.gov
They started keeping it at lower levels due to fear that the dam would fail - but I don't know if that had started in 2013.
Please do keep your eyes out for him! The Santa Clara River is the river that one can take from Castaic to the Pacific Ocean. Many homeless encampments along that stretch. However, one rarely sees them at the Castaic end (except as hitchhikers). Fillmore, Santa Paula, Saticoy, Oxnard and Ventura have LE who try to pry the camps out a few times a year. During that period, many of the homeless transfer themselves to other tributories (a couple of creek beds - almost always with a little water - or even rivers - the Ventura River drainage has lots of homeless).
It's my impression that many of these people are constantly on the move, for many reasons. There have been entire tent cities down in the river bed.

Just a question for those who think that Bryce is still alive. I don't but admit either way is possible until we know for certain. If Bryce has been part of a homeless or transient community all this time as some suspect, what makes you think, if he wanted and got a new life, he needs or wants to be found?
No snark, I'm seriously interested in your thoughts about this. I admit my curiosity and want to know as badly as most anybody else what became of Bryce for certain but if he's not dead and has been laying low all these years, should finding him be a priority if he voluntarily checked out from his family?
I don't recall if Bryce had a sister...or brother (?) I can't remember anything mentioned about siblings.Is Bryce’s sister named Jennifer?
