Ok, let's ask this...
What information that we don't have would help to bring Bryce home? Is this information that the family has? If they do, then why haven't they been able to use it to find him?
I am truly not trying to pick on anyone, but looking at this from a SAR management standpoint, and I believe, that if they had the answers to the questions I need/want to know, that they would have found him by now. Make sense? The rest of the information, while true, does paint a picture of who he was/what he may have been going through/ while juicy, does not actually help me to find him. Make sense?
It does make sense.
I think that more detailed information regarding the day before Bryce disappeared and the way he was acting leading up to when he disappeared could possibly help people to get a better idea of where Bryce was coming from, and therefore help people to get a better idea of what actions he took after the crash. Why did someone take away his keys? He was acting odd. Okay, but odd in what way? That could mean so many things. Acting agitated or rather acting high? A big difference between the two, and acting "odd" could really mean a numerous amount of things. The way he was acting in more detail could shed light on what was happening with him.
Obviously the fact that the family has this information has not helped them bring Bryce home. However, it could help someone else bring Bryce home. 100 heads are better than one.
At the same time, the above information (how exactly he was acting before the crash) could possibly lead people to the conclusion that he left on his own which could discourage people from searching more. It's a double edged sword in my opinion.
All JMO and all.
This family has expert assistance from people who really know what they're doing. So I think they also realize the possible double-edged sword.
But here's what I keep seeing: the information that I and many others on here want may help us determine more closely what happened to Bryce, or what is more likely: Suicide, homicide, mental issue and wandering or voluntary disappearance.
But what does that info do to actually FIND him. Since LE, the family and Klaaskids has the info and still do not seem to be able to pick one option definitively, what makes us any better? Why do we think we are so wise that we will be able to make a specific determination when they haven't?
Ultimately, all it can do is increase probabilities, possibly, in our minds and I bet even if we had every last question answered, we would still have 50 opinions. So IMO, it's kind of irrelevant at this point to actually finding him.
In the end, the same techniques will be used, because no one possibility can be totally ruled out. So no matter what, there will be ground searches, lake searches, pleas for him to come home, review of computer and phone records, interviewing the people who know him and pleas for info.
I think at this stage our jObs as sleuthers are to come up with more ways to get the word out to others, to Bryce and to join searches when we can, hand out flyers, think up good locations to flyer or search, etc.
