Found Deceased CA - Blaze Bernstein, 19, Lake Forest, 2 Jan 2018 #1

[tarabull]

He took his phone with him. Everything else was left behind.

ETC - i saw that afterwards and removed my post...maybe you can do the same where you quoted me. TIA :wave:

One specific detail of the driver's story that strikes me as odd is that the driver allegedly went to the bathroom at Borrego Park before he tried to find Blaze. This is a suburban park; shouldn't the bathrooms be closed at night once the park closed? Or are these port-a-potties or something?

So the answer's no FWIW. Thanks for the link.

Mention made starting here FWIW

Speaking of, have any such accounts been tied to BB? Even PoF, OKCupid, etc., in addition to any gay dating apps? Not saying we should sleuth him AT ALL. I'm wondering if I've missed something. I've seen nothing.

Bernstein’s cellphone, which had been lent to him by a relative a week earlier, was not receiving calls, according to investigators and friends of the family.

Neither was Scott Peterson at this point in that investigation...

Yes but the cops never publicly ruled him out like they are here wth BB's friend.

 

[tarabull]

He turned off the phones GPS. Let's engage in easy multiplication shall we?

Careful what we think we know....

Did Blaze not have his license and/or access to a car? Why would a friend drive him to a park to meet another friend, but have no idea why or what they were doing if he wasn't involved? Why wouldn't Blaze just drive himself to the park to meet the third person if the driver was truly completely in the dark about what was going on? Makes no sense.

5 minutes away, why not walk.

Correct-a-mundo!

Ed Zachery....so not to involve your 'friend' in the mystery.

It's a common misconception that his phone was left at home; nothing personal.

"5 minutes away" via car or do we know this is the walking time?

Ca living is something that gets into your blood and never leaves.

Eh, I'm a SoCal native (Orange County like Blaze) and can't wait to move out of this state. The sooner the better. The weather is nice, but that's about it at this point IMO.

Having said that, I can certainly see how he could have missed CA and been homesick, especially being all the way out at Penn State. How long has he been in college there?

Walking distance, but I've read up to 10 minutes in other reports.

I'm not sure how this detail comes into play regarding the phone discussions-

Same, WideOpen. It's interesting.

Some think BB had no phone with him at all, which wasn't the case.

Annee Della Donna, an attorney and friend of the Bernstein family made similar remarks to CBS Los Angeles.

“He was on the Internet that night buying things,” Della Donna said. “It all points to a kid who was not depressed, who was happy and wanted to go back to school.”

Della Donna also added that some witnesses say they saw someone matching Bernstein’s height and weight walking along the southbound lanes of the 241 toll road in the disabled car lane at about 5:40 a.m. on Jan. 3.

Probably took his friend longer to drive.

Could Blaze have "escaped" back to the University of Pennsylvania?
Did he miss someone there and got back on the down low?
I'm sure this has been checked out, but you never know.

If he was bipolar, buying things on the internet (depending on the buying pattern) could indicate a manic episode...

Unless he was driven or walked, it's highly unlikely.
