It's possible. A few people said early on it could have easily been a girl. The style of hair, glasses and clothing is popular with either gender. CB might go with a girl for a ride home and feel safe, and be off guard to any danger. It's not fair to the guys to say this but girls do feel safer with other girls, even ones they do not know very well, or at all.
I managed to go through all the tumblr .... not sure what to make of this side of her. It certainly makes her seem to be quite a drinker and an "easy date" ... ?? I could not figure out dates for the postings, but I think all were in late high-school, maybe up to about 20 yrs. old. Kind of a disappointing and sad feeling I have, wondering if she was looking for a guy to hold her tight and it really backfired. Still, it does not matter in the grand scheme of things ... she did not spdeserve to die this way.
Well, I didn't figure it out and could not leave that page opened any longer!
Guess I will have to rely on you guys to have the right girl .... is this something that should be reported to LE? Maybe they don't know about these posts by her (if that is her .... ?) Squirrel, I don't know how you find this stuff!!!
ETA: I did see a twitter with Chelsea (Bruck) with her picture and @ horatiowack, but no FB. Her FB is under Chelsea Bruck .... does she have another, perhaps from earlier, that is still around and is that awful?
It always surprises me a little that when the topic of sex comes up with an adult that it is viewed as taboo. This girl was extremely open about her views. They are on the internet attached to her actual photo, so she clearly didn't feel shame about it, and I don't see anything wrong with her choices, either. I don't know many adults who do not have sex, no matter what their preferences are, so it never seems like an issue to me to discuss it. I have no judgments about her choices and I always forget maybe some people do. It is just a fact of her being and the preferences she has. It certainly has 0% bearing on if she "deserved" to be murdered! She was an adult in seemingly consensual situations, so no wrong was done by her! That is certain!
Where it does have bearing is that more places and people need to be explored! A history of where or how she maybe met people in the past is important. A review of females needs to be considered, whereas before the information, maybe males were being focused on. Any around town chatter of after "parties" needs to be explored. I actually viewed this information as a possible open door to finally getting her killer brought to justice, rather than any judgment on what she chose to do with her adult self.
I am sure the police know a lot more than we do, but to me, it is like a fresh batch of suspects that can be found! I sincerely hope so. As I said above, I hope her killer is caught very soon so that she may sleep in peace.
I must admit that this is the first time I have heard of thisThere was a video on youtube very early on, possibly from someone's phone that showed CB walking into the pole in the dark. It was bad quality but I remember knowing it was her. She was still in her custome. She ran into the pole and then grabbed her nose with her hands, seems like the right hand, then the left over top, then looked down at her hand (I'm assuming to see blood). It was on just after she first went missing. I didn't think about it at the time as being weird because people take videos at parties all the time. I just thought early on that CB would turn up at a friend's house or something. After a few days, when CB was still missing I checked youtube again and the video was gone. I thought maybe LE removed it. Does anyone else remember the video? I wish I would've made a note of the name who posted it. I hope LE has it.
From her tumblr postings it seems that Chelsea had some (perhaps short-lived) relationships with men. In particular,
in the beginning of her tumblr she addresses a person that has broken her heart (who broke the relationship with changing his status on FB). From other postings it seems that this person also had a (different) girlfriend and there may have been some love triangle. Anyway, I was wondering if the person who killed Chelsea may have been someone that she had a relationship with in the past.
I've been reading here since the beginning and have never heard about a video of her getting hurt. There was talk of her calling a friend and saying she walked into a pole. We were never sure of the extent of her injuries.
I agree. I've watched every article, especially locally, including comments and never saw an actual video of this incident. But it's possible someone posted it in the comments (before or after I visited the article) and then it was deleted before I saw it. I checked some of the other video sites that scrape videos from YouTube and couldn't find anything matching these titles.
If anyone has the original link, I might be able to find a cached version of the video or more information.
Just a quick note: I discovered Chelsea's Tumblr and many other social media pages and emailed them to police not long after she went missing so I do know they are aware of it.
The posts did suggest to me that Chelsea was interested in activities beyond her nice girl image, whether she considered it edgy or humorous. It has made me wonder if she could've interacted flirtatiously (online even?) with an acquaintance or stranger. And that perhaps she even got in over her head.
Did you discover any other social media of Chelsea, besides tumblr, myspace, facebook, and twitter (which is nearly empty)?
I think some of the interchanges on tumblr are flirtateous. For example, she asked one guy to be her valentine on Feb 14. Many people she interacted with on tumblr she does not know in person and live far away. But some of them she also interacts with in real live. For example, one person "shiva" (not full ID) who describes herself as pansexual says that Chelsea is her best woman-friend. She had a boyfriend at the time, but currently (according to FB) is in a relationship with a woman.
BTW, before I believe I said that the person in the sketch most likely is male because of the facial hair in the sketch. But I think the person could be androgynous. The female friend I just mentioned has an androgynous friend who looks like a woman in some pictures, and like a man in others (including a fuzzy face). In fact, this friend of Chelsea's friend even looks like the sketch in a picture of 2014, but seems to live in Florida (so it is unlikely to be the "guy").
