Well, my opinion hinges on the fact that it was after most of the people left the bar. And it was done by workers or maybe the band. Maybe this was answered somewhere else, but "everyone being accounted for entering/leaving the bar" includes the band and workers I assume? If not, then I think it's basically a 100% chance one of them knows something. I think that's when this gets messy because then people start talking about the "construction/emergency exit" and other things where there is no way to validate.
But to your point, I agree with that theory as well. Like we both said, look at it from a probability standpoint. The likelihood of a drunk guy somehow evading cameras inside the building, along with surrounding business cameras outside the building, and said guy just so happens to be missing? Yeah, not really buying he did all that. It's just so unreasonable and unlikely to think he cleverly did all of this. I am not saying my theory is rock solid, there could be some unknown component we are all missing, but I think he died that night and his body is either buried somewhere around the building or will never be found because it was burned/in a dump somewhere.
Then again, there's this:
Unidentified Person Case
I remember doing a search/query and finding that there were only 2 missing men that matched the height, weight, race, age, date, and hair. Brian was one of them. I really wish I got an answer to this. It drives me nuts.
I just dont buy the 100% in/out stuff.
We have to remember this was 11 years ago, we are all used to widespread CCTV that record in ultravision panascope megacolor!
It certainly seems the reality is far from that - the only tape they have is a piece of garbage. Even when we look at CCTV from later cases (Labute ,Paddock falling down in a multimillion dollar casino) the quality is garbage,
Govt agencies because it is taxpayer money has a lot of really good cameras - I am not sure private small entities are buying the good stuff.
If we take the above in account and take the conclusion that other cameras in the area did not pick him up imo really means zero.
The CCTV of the nurse that vanished is garbage Dakota James was only spotted on what one cam. Zachary Marr was lost for blocks and blocks .
Cell phones spy movies etc - result in us thinking that not seeing somone or something really means it was not there seems supper far fetched.
Add to that in this particular case it sure does not look like ugly tuna was in an area with fine jewelers that would have great cameras -- the area looked like a run down area -- the notion that back then small business owners are investing in hi res equipment seems pretty far fetched.
Construction sites generally are not like hiking in caves where someone could fall in somewhere and not be seen seems not real either . If something happened it the construction area ( which would basically be a fall) his body would have been found atop of whatever he fell on)
Tripping or passing out typically does not result in someone going hidden - they tend to land atop of something.
The notion of him being buried has some oddities as well. I don't think at 3 in the morning staff are digging a grave in the middle of a construction site.
If we go with that we would have to also conclude that the crew when they returned to the scene the next time would remain oblivious to a fresh dug grave stretches some imagination as well
HOwever lets ponder this --- if we did not have a cop saying over and over 100% of everyone on a busy night was accounted for then what we have is a young male in collage partying with the friends and never being seen again
that takes us back to 100's of identical cases wherein people are not playing the movie Catch Me If You Can and sneaking off to play jimmy buffet life (kind a stretch IMO) -- a new total identity.
Grad school is time consuming - 11 years ago creating a new identity , I would imagine might take some work -- cant be kinda of a whim thing.
He was working toward a future was an adult when his mother tragically passed seemed to have quite a support system surrounding her passing.
There are typically quite a bit of precursors to suicide. Zachary Marr had many - he was in love on spring break had an appetite to dine that night and engage in social interactions with others that night.
Reports of his loss related to his mothers passing seemed normative and understandable.
The notions posted earlier wherein we are doing circumstance after circumstance after circumstance all disappear if we back up and start with junky cameras , back then, were totally unable to prove with any meaning that he did not leave the bar with 100's of others at closing time..............
