I've never heard of that channel. Most people I know gave up expensive cable and just stream. Too bad this never made it to dateline or 20/20 I think most people tune-in to those on NBC and ABC. They are both OTA free HD channels.
If anyone has a link that would be great.
As IIRC his ex girlfriend KS is not on the episode. I wonder if his last roommate is on. I always believe he knew more than he was saying to protect Bryce. I can't remember his name. JMO
This case is so odd. After watching her Disappeared interview, part of me thinks the mother is in denial about Bryce's issues. I mean she had a couple people telling her he was acting strangely!
I have followed Bryce's disappearance since day one on here. After seeing the Disappeared episode I definitely have an opinion on what I think happened. I am very interested in hearing what others think who have followed this case all along. I definitely have some new insights from seeing the episode.

whiteorchids - this was really a very good show and it is pretty clear LE and the parents have differing opinions on what happened to Bryce and why. I think Bryce did walk away- at least at first. Whether he is still alive out there at this point - I am not sure. But people have walked away before. he sat in Buttonwillow for a long long time contemplating something. And he was obviously avoiding going home. I agree with the post above in that Bryce has skeletons in his closet.
I'm curious about the show.
Did they happen to mention Mike Laspisa adopted Bryce when he was 2? So not his biological Dad.
Did they also mention the Vyvanse bender Bryce was coming down from, he hadn't slept for days prior to taking of to his folks?
When you do a show like that you have to be upfront and honest. It's about finding your son. No one cares that he wasn't a perfect child no one is.
BBM Sean Dixon. And I think you are correct. I hope the details they (and anyone else close to Bryce) may have left out of the media reports this far, if there are any, have been included in this episode. Set to record in 25 minutes and I will be watching it later tonight.
Sean was not on the show. There was a couple of references to him calling mom about Bryces behavior. And I believe they said he gave away a few of his prized possessions to his roommate prior to leaving.
Thanks Voice. I could not think of his name for the life of me.
Was Sean Dixon on the show? He was his roommate before he left and I believe he knows more. He had a note or something Bryce had written as IIRC. He read it on the media. I remember it kinda sounded like a suicide note without actually saying it.
Just finished watching. The only people on the show were Karen, Mike, Denise Savastano (their Private Investigator...the 2nd one, right?) and Robert Martingale (sp?) - Lead detective on the case. To answer the drug question, they did go into much more detail about the Vyvance then I thought they would...and also more than I think the family has ever admitted to previously. They didn't bring up anything about his prior arrest or "probation" (or whatever it is called in ILL.) They down played his behavior at Kim's which resulted in her taking the keys away from him. Something I had never heard of was that prior to his departure from his apartment he gave away (to Sean) his gaming system and diamond earrings that belonged to his mom(?) Also, they did touch on his erratic behavior before he left but said nothing specific about him mentioning suicide to Kim and Sean the night prior. His parents were very dismissive of his drug use and drinking two large bottles of hard alcohol a weekend the 2 weeks up at college leading up to his disappearance (something else mentioned in the show)....making it out to be normal college behavior and less of him having an issue that had anything to do with his disappearance. It was also mentioned in the show that he was definitely accelerating intentionally when he was going down the grassy hill to the 25 foot embankment he went over, to the point that his under carriage was unearthing large rocks due to the speed of the car. Also, the water, from where his car went off the road, looked a lot closer than it actually was....leading the investigators to believe that his intent was to put the car into the water. Investigators believe he is no longer in the Castaic area, possibly walked (so that he wasn't seen) up by the dam and to the truck stop where he hitched a ride somewhere and continues to hide out. Parents believe the only possibility, if he is alive, is that he has amnesia from the car crash and doesn't know who he is, or he has sudden onset schizophrenia or something similar that is preventing him from knowing who he is or how to get home to them. (I took notes and will add more if I missed something of importance.)
