I am just going to throw out a Clint theory here. This also assumes that Meredith left the bar through transportation of her own.
Since we have no physical evidence of what happened to Brian. Let's suppose that Clint and Brian got into an argument that night over whatever. If they fought, what they fought about, we can only speculate. We do know that no one can account for Brian's whereabouts after 2:10 or thereabouts. We know Clint's credibility is not credible at all/ They leave the bar, head back to Brian's apartment, and they argue. Their drunken state escalates into a physical fight and Clint accidentally hurts Brian. The injury is far more severe than realized. Say for example a punch to the face. Let's say that a drunken Brian falls down the stairs. (Assume they were there.) Clint in a panic screams profanity and doesn't know what to do. Knowing that something like this could destroy his reputation and Brian really badly injured, Brian is barely conscious. Putting him out of his misery, he suffocates him with a pillow. Brian is dead.
Clint lures Brian's body to a closet, takes Brian's keys, locks the apartment, gets whatever he needs to dispose of Brian's body. Goes back to Brian's apartment and gets rid of the body by using the tools to throw it into one of Ohio's lakes or rivers about 30 minutes away. He locks the apartment again so no one can enter.
Than he goes back and spends about six hours at Brian's apartment getting rid of all of the evidence that could incriminate him. He doesn't get involved in the search. Speaks about Brian only in a very cold narrative and only when forced. Gets a lawyer, stops talking, and a few months later moves away.
Could this scenario have really happened? If so, how do you think Clint got rid of Brian's body undetected? Is there any way that Clint could be incriminated through physical evidence if this actually occurred? What if Clint wore gloves to dispose of Brian's body?
