TX TX - Brandon Lawson, 26, San Angelo, 8 Aug 2013 - #3

[Bigmomma29]

I understand that his girlfriend has moved away, but she has been back on a few occasions to hang flyers and News interviews. Pictures were taken then. I agree with you about not many places for Brandon to hide out there it is not a heavily wooded area. I also agree that Brandon that Brandon is gone and not voluntarily or coming back alive. Which is very sad, no matter what his past was, he does not deserve what ever happened to him that night. I agree that there should have been a search that night and there probably would have been, if some people would have been up front and told the truth about the phone calls and text messages they received. Just my opinion and my opinion only. But I personally do not believe Brandon was in the area of his truck, I believe the truck was planted in that area.
This is just my opinion and my opinion only.

On the Charley Project page it only lists multiple Tattoo's on his arms. No descriptions, and he also has other tattoo's . One on his neck that is visible on his neck, and chest. Descriptions would be a good thing to add, as well as how many and what they are of. Every little detail matters and helps . JMO

This case has me baffled...i don't know what to think. Part of me thinks it was a setup and he was killed and then a part of me thinks what if he did run? People do it everyday. Surely he wouldn't have left those kids behind though.. I have read and read and read some more. The comments by people on different pages that knew this family really make you think. I hope one day he will be found. I really don't understand how nothing of what he had on his clothes,keys,cell hasn't been found. That really confuses me. I also wonder if it's still an active investigation and wonder if any of the police are actually trying to do anything with this case or is Brandon on a shelf as a file..

In my opinion it's hard for the LE to do their job because they are constantly being lied to and led in different directions. There really is no REAL evidence he is missing except the truck and his family's word. I agree after reading some of the comments made by some people they ran with probably aren't the most outstanding citizens who's word you can believe. Sorry I know that sounds harsh

JMO, AT this point, unless LE makes a public statement, there is nothing much any of us can do. There have been numerous search's that have turned up nothing. No information has come in, that the public is aware of any way. Are there any idea's on where to go from here? I think there are two working theories ; 1. B met with foul play at possibly the hands of someone he knew and trusted., 2. He is in hiding. There is no definitive proof either way. What LE knows, they are keep under-wraps/quiet about, which there is nothing wrong with that. It just makes it frustrating in terms of finding Brandon.

Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone?

Where is Brandon?

Where is Brandon?

Someone was searching for Hailey Dunn almost every week for 2 years or so and she was found by a man looking for arrowheads. I think the same will happen for Brandon one of these days. A hunter or someone just out among the pastureland will come across something curious and B will be found. I am of the view he was in the area for some reason, he made the 911 call and someone did him harm and hid his body somewhere else. These are just my views based on the odd 911 call. Since I am from the area, I understand most of the words he said on the 911 call. I just don't understand the chain of events on the call. I really do think some other car/s was involved and headed in the opposite direction of LE. (e.g. back towards San Angelo).

I certainly don't have all the pieces to this puzzle. And yes it is quite puzzling, I am of the opinion family originally lied to protect Brandon, not to cover-up. I also wonder why we have heard conflicting stories. One story that bothers me is the conflicting reports about his brother. One story from the Observer FB page says sometime after 7AM Friday morning KL purchased gasoline at Stripes. The empty can was found in the back of the abandoned vehicle.

Then from the Help Find Brandon Lawson FB page Ladessa says around 4:30am she spoke to KL who stated he had found the truck, put gas in it but couldn't find his brother. Kyle and Audrey then returned back to San Angeloso did he put gas in at 7:30 or 4:30 AM? Did he stay in Bronte or did he return to San Angelo?

Why did BL not tell KL or his girlfriend he had called 911 and was being chased.

Just a few things I find troubling.

Also, why didn't he tell them he was bleeding? He told 911 he was bleeding, but not KL or his girlfriend? That has always seemed troubling and odd too me. And remember, KL supposedly went and searched the area with co-workers of his and BL's till 7:30 am. That has been stated publicly by LL many times and many places. So the timeline is very off and has never really been fixed? Not sure of the right word to use here.

I do hope hunters come across something. I can not imagine what it will be like for his children growing up and having no answers or closure.

Where are, and who are these coworkers? Where are Brandon's personal friends? We've heard nothing from any of them. Please come forward if you know something! Please!

Unless I missed something, I though it was just the opposite. I think he told KL's girlfriend he was bleeding but didn't say anything on the 911 call about bleeding. He said he didn't need an ambulance. He needed the cops.

BUT OBVIOUSLY HE DIDNT SAY ANYTHING TO KL about needing the cops or KL is not telling that part of the story.

I just wish we could hear more. I stopped at the Stripes yesterday on my way to San Angelo and there is nothing in the window or store I could find about Brandon. Why?

I probably got it backward. So much about this case is confusing it little wonder I haven't lost my mind :gaah: :facepalm:

Were there ever posters posted around the town? What about San Angelo, has there been posters put up all around there? Since that is where it has been said he lived, you would think at least there would be posters all over the place there. I wonder if he had friends there? In all of this, I haven't seen any of his friends involved with the case. They have been very quiet that is for sure. I don't know what to think. The PI has made several trips to Bronte, how come she hasn't posted any missing posters there around town? Ugggg so frustrating not to see any movement on this case. Brandon needs to be found.

Where is Brandon?

 

[Balor51]

A couple of questions if anyone can answer or help with..TIA

1. What time did the trucker's call come in at, and was it via 911 or the LE office line or...?

2. Was the trucker driving a 18-wheeler? Or just stated he was a trucker?

3. Did the trucker state there was a truck out of gas on 277? If so, how could he tell it was out of gas without stopping, and if he did stop , how would he know it was out of gas and not just parked or disabled?

4. Did the trucker ever state he did see BL?


Just trying to go over things from the beginning and see if we missed anything. Trying to get some kind of movement on this. Those babies need answers!!

She said he disappeared, but well before her common-law husband Brandon Lawson went missing, in 2012, she applied for food stamps indicating on the official forms for the federal assistance program that she was a single mother. The missing common-law husband of Ladessa Lofton made headlines statewide last year, when the 26-year-old reportedly disappeared on a formidable stretch of highway 277 just outside of Bronte.


I was doing a search for news information on BL and came across this. I added it here because it does talk about Brandon and the reporter has reported on Brandon being missing several times.

IMO this makes it very hard to believe anything she has previously stated was fact. It's also very sad that people feel the need to lie, even about the most minuet things that really won't make a difference one way or the other, like this wouldn't have made a difference if there hadn't been so many previous inconsistencies & changes in timelines & events leading up to & after the disappearance of BL.

From sanangelolive.com
1. Nearing Bronte on highway 277, Brandon reportedly dialed 911 at 12:50am because he had an apparent accident and had run out of gas........At 12:58 the Coke County Sheriff's office received a call that a vehicle was parked haphazard on the side of the road out on highway 277, thus posing a risk to oncoming traffic....No mention of a pedestrian
2. It is assumed he was driving an 18 wheeler since they reporter a trucker called in. One of the articles said LE had spoken to the trucker.....
3. answered above
4. If the trucker saw BL, LE is keeping that close to their vest. No mention of seeing anyone.

I am so saddened to hear about this. Unfortunately this type of thing happens all too often. I am going to have to not comment any further on this incident for fear of getting in trouble. It sure doesn't give the other stories LL has told any significant weight in my eyes. I'm still on the fence about what happened to BL.

Where are you Brandon?

 

[Spiritecho]

OMG, you know you're tired and fed up when you think and sit and wonder:thinking:

From sanangelolive.com if <--- that says SAN ANGEL OLIVE :blushing:

 

[ChuckieD]

This is why I stopped commenting about it though I'm not really sat on the fence. I'm just hoping those who have been lying trip up on their lies very badly and very soon.

[Balor51]

I am going back to the beginning and sorting and trying to break through the timelines and MSM information as well as the LE information. So, there is one news source that I looked at that quoted LE that I found interesting.

http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/law-officials-seek-information-of-missing-man

Officials established Lawson had recently spent time with friends and acquaintances, the release states.

Below is snipped from the Blogtalk interview that LL did. :


LL: Yeah. Brandon went missing August 9, 2013. We got in an argument, he left our house, and he ran out of gas. And he called his brother and said he ran out of gas and, when he went there, Brandon wasn't at the truck and the cop, Deputy N, pulled up at the same time. We didn't know at the time that Brandon called 911, but Brandon did call 911 at 12:53, then he called his brother at 12:38, and then they arrived at 1:10, the cop and his brother did, and Brandon wasn't there. It's been, on Friday it'll be six months. We still don't have one clue of where Brandon is or what happened, but we do have his 911 call saying that someone was after him, chasing him. And that's about it. That's all of the clues we have, and that Brandon was in the middle of a field. But, besides that, we don't have any clue or any suspicions where Brandon's at. That's all I have.

H: All right. And just so our listeners know, we did spend quite an amount of time on the phone last night, discussing everything, trying to come up with as many ideas as we could, and basically going over everything that we were going to talk about tonight. To lead off everything so everyone will know the sequence of events, I'm going to give a little timeline. <snip/utter confusion> But at 11:53, Brandon left his house in San Angelo, Texas. And at 12:38, he called his brother K, saying that he had run out of gas, and (unintelligible) some gas, whatever. And that was at 12:38. And at 12:54, that there was a 911 call placed by Brandon saying that somebody was running after him and, on the 911 call, you said it did sound like he was running?

LL: Yeah, you could tell he was running. He was just out of, the way he was talking on the phone and you could hear it. In the Texas weather in August, there wasn't really any wind, so you could kind of hear Brandon running and he was a little bit out of breath

H: Oh, okay. And my producer did just ask me to clarify that he left the house at 11:53pm, at night. And at 12:38, 38 minutes past midnight is when he called his brother K, and six minutes till 1am is when he call 911. And you said that they both arrived at 1:10am or 1:19am?

LL: 1:10. 1:10.

H: <snip> They both arrived at the truck at 1:10am and Brandon was nowhere to be found.

LL states Brandon left her residence at 11:53pm, and he called his brother at 12:38 am saying he ran out of gas, then Brandon called 911 at 12:54, then both K & LE arrived at the same time , 1:10am. So, if he was with friends prior to running out of gas, where were the friends at ? It seems like such a short time to go from LL's in SA, then to see friends?... And not know he had enough gas and was headed to Bronte? Just seems very odd. Opinions or theories anyone? TIA
