I would hate to think this is even remotely the case. I have to believe the mom and dad would do just about anything to have their boy found, preferably alive and well. I do, however, think there are some mental instabilities playing a factor in how the case is proceeding, or not proceeding.
As with most people, I too think the lake needs to be searched once again and this has been my opinion from the beginning. As one poster stated, I think the family has given too much weight in law enforcement's opinion that Bryce left the area and could not be anywhere near or in the lake. As a parent I would search that area until I was told by the authorities that I'm no longer allowed to search. Bryce being in that area is, in my opinion, the only scenario that makes sense. I just don't see an over-indulged 20 year old kid wandering the streets eating out of trash cans. It's not him. If it had only been a month or two I might buy in to that theory, but it's been over a year with absolutely no sign of Bryce. Please, please Mr. and Mrs. Laspisa - HAVE THE LAKE (AND SURROUNDING AREA) SEARCHED!
