How sad! He sounded like a nice, young man.

Search for man who fell into Yellowstone River near Reed Point 'scaled back'
An update on the search for Brandon. A 'specialized search' on the river this past Sunday did not find anything of interest and the search is being 'scaled back.' Interestingly, the Sheriff is calling for sighting reports (I don't remember reading that language before) and LE is considering Brandon 'missing.'
This is mysterious. I really had thought Brandon would have been found by now with the intensive search effort. Many of our Montana rivers -- including the Yellowstone --are still surprisingly high right now. I am thinking searchers may not be looking far enough downstream.
Hi loreet! Thank you for the updates. His poor mom and dad. They need the truth. Is Brandon from Reed-Point proper? The acquaintances and gf are from what area? What exactly is the attraction to there? Was it a party situation? Do we know if he actually went into the water?This post is all IMHO, based on nothing more than my years of watching all manner of criminal and non-criminal cases; in the news, on these boards, and sadly from within my own family.
I do not personally believe Brandon’s disappearance is related to the disappearance of Paul Batson, who apparently went missing in late April from the same bridge over the Yellowstone River in Reed Point. Unless someone got the idea from Paul’s story — either of that bridge as an unlikely place to commit suicide, or a convenient place to use in a story about someone committing suicide.
The inconsistent stories that have been told to LE and BF’s family are huge red flags to me. Inconsistent stories are almost ALWAYS red flags. IMHO
Brandon’s parents, family, friends, and community deserve answers and Brandon himself needs to be returned to his family. If local LE doesn’t have adequate resources, then another agency or group or department should be called in to help, with the permission and blessing of local LE.
Brandon’s disappearance and the lack of answers is not the norm. It really will start to feel hinky if answers aren’t forthcoming.
