Lauren S.'s "friends" including her longtime BF won't even talk to police about what happened to her, more than two years later. People are mostly out for themselves, IMO. Better chance of getting info from strangers sometimes, IMO.
Who is Lauren S., Clu?
I think the first 30 days that was a critical stance but not so sure now. Volunteers are very minimal at this point. I couldn't find 2 other people to go to BW, a month ago I could have filled buses. Something needs to change IMO.

All I can think of is what I have already suggested:
1. Take weekend road trips up and down the 5 and 101 and paper very truck stop and rest stop possible, with flyers.
2. Take weekend trips to towns where there have been sightings. Visit homeless shelters and encampments in those areas and hand out flyers. I will add, track down the people who reported sightings and try to determine if those were viable sightings. I will also add, maybe visit bars, hospitals and colleges in the areas where there have been sightings, talk to people and hand out flyers.
3. Use social media. They are using Facebook to good effect. I suggest using twitter and making a YouTube video. I said I'd be happy to make a video, with permission. The more the public knows about who Bryce is, the more relatable he becomes, the more real and public interest grows.
4. Publicity. Annie Le's case didn't lack for volunteers or interest even months later. That's because her siblings kept pushing and pushing and keeping her case in the media. I think the family have done a good job with the vigil and the thank you lunch. I would like to see more interviews by the parents and friends. Videos showing how those who love Bryce feel.
Publicity is imperative, IMO, to keep volunteers from fading and to keep the news about Bryce spreading.
OK so you guys are not going to make fun of me for this!
I recently lost my cat and did tons of research on how to find him. Apparently they go into survival mode and forget everything until they go under 10% of there original body weight.
Anyway a lot of people said that they return to last place they were before they went into survival mode at night to look for food.
So I rigged up cameras all over my balcony and what do you know? Every night he was lurking onto the balcony looking for food without anyone knowing.
I know they say humans can go into survival mode, I wonder if it would be worth looking into if castaic will either daily check cameras or allow us to rig a similar system (mine has night vision) and see if after the injury he went into a similar survival mode. He's by so much fresh water that he certainly could survive out there off water and scraps from the picnic areas.
I know this sounds completely bizarre but I figured I'd put it out there and face the side eyes.

Poor baby! Did you get him to come back in?
I'm a lurker coming out of hiding ...
I've been reading for several days, although I didn't read the early threads so forgive me if this has been stated already.
There's been some discussion about his keys being taken away, by whom and that his mother told them to give them back. There's been a LOT of discussion about his mental status at that point.
I find it very odd that a girlfriend and/or roommate would take away someones keys unless they were threatening to harm themselves or someone else or if they were under the influence. I think the fact that he called his mother (I assume that's how she found out about them having his keys???) and she told them to give them back, tells a lot about his mental status. As a mother, albeit to an 18 month old son, I can see how your instincts to protect your child would kick in. If she knew something wasn't right and the fact that they took his keys was causing more stress to him (therefor possibly making him more "unstable" for lack of a better description), it's possible that she told them to give the keys back to reduce his "panic" (again for lack of a better word). She may have felt he would go back to his apartment and settle down and they could have a conversation. She offered to fly up there ... to me that's a mom that's worried about her child.
What's disturbing to me is the timeline ... if he had called and was freaking out about his keys being taken away, why was there no conversation between mom and son in the time he was driving (and yes, I know she was attempting to contact him, but from what I've gathered that wasn't until Thursday when she received the survey from AAA and realized he wasn't at school). If you were worried enough that you were offering to fly up there, why weren't they in contact on Wednesday? Or were they and I've just missed all that.
As to what happened to him ... I go back and forth on a lot of theories and a lot of that depends on the days leading up to it.
I fully respect the families privacy and a lot of this is none of our business. The fact is he's still out there, somewhere. However, knowing his "state of mind" might help determine where he's at.
I hope they find him soon. That family needs to know where their son is.
Great first post. If I wasnt on my phone I would give you a more colorful WELCOME!!!!!
Yes that's true. I just thought I would throw it out here anyway.
It's a good thought, White, from a good heart. I will take the hope.
