I started a timeline from several MSM pages awhile back. Maybe this will help to make things a little clearer. I just took anything that related to times and who said/did what when. I have always wondered about the text communication between KL's gf and BL AFTER the 911 call. Did anyone SPEAK to BL personally after the 911 call or was it just texting? If texting we cannot be positive it was BL texting. Remember, KL thought BL was hiding. (at least that is what he states in public).
I travel that area frequently and cell reception is sporadic at times. The sheriff's wife is also the one who wrote the article for the Observer. She used to post some on this thread. I don't think she was covering anything up, but I do feel she was somewhat biased in favor of LE in regards to her reporting. I probably would be too if my husband was spending days looking for a family member and I find out they didn't tell all they knew because of their distrust of LE. If LE had known some things earlier, they might have taken a different view instead of BL's family not telling them the whole truth just because they thought he was hiding out!
Remember, LE was pretty sure he was running from his warrant, so that was how they were reporting it. (Just like LE thinks some young girls later found murdered are really runaways). There are exceptions to the rule and I really feel like BL was harmed that night. I also think KL and his gf know more than what they are letting on to the public.....which is their right. I don't judge them at all.
BTW, glad to see some new faces stirring this thread up some more. Thank you!
From The Observer FB Page:
1. Just before 1 am Saturday morning, a call came into 911 about a stranded motorist near Bronte on Highway 277. (Truckers call? Not Brandons?)
2. The original call from 911 came to Coke County Sheriffs Office at 12:58 am Friday, August 9, 2013, reporting a stranded motorist. Just after 1 am, Chief Deputy Brandon Neal arrived at disabled vehicle south of Bronte on Highway 277.
3. Phone records revealed the missing man, Brandon Lawson, was speaking to his brother, Kyle Lawson, just after 1 am.
4. The last contact with Brandon Lawsons phone was a text message at 1:19 am warning him about police sent from a phone belonging to Kyle Lawsons girlfriend.
5. At approximately 8:30 am Friday morning, Best Connection arrived at the abandoned vehicle on Highway 277 and towed it to their facility.
6. Sometime after 7 am Friday morning, Kyle Lawson purchased gas in a gas can from Stripes. The empty gas can was found in the back of the abandoned vehicle.
From The Help Find Brandon Lawson Facebook Page:
1. Ladessa called Brandons parents concerned. (unknown time, assuming after the fight)
2. Brandon called his dad and left the house at 11:54 PM.
3 08/09/2013 Approx 12:10 AM Kyle, Brandons brother, came over to check on Ladessa then he left.
4. Approx 12:30 AM Kyle called Ladessa and said that Brandon ran out of gas and Ladessa asked Kyle to take the gas can, get it filled, and bring it to Brandon. Kyle took the gas can and left.
5. 08/09/2013 Approx 12:34 AM, 12:36 AM, and 12:48 AM Ladessas phone was charging and she missed 3 phone calls from Brandon; he did not leave a message.
6. 08/09/2013 Approx 12:53 AM Brandon Lawson called 911 and Coke County Sheriffs Office responded to a stranded motorist.
7. 08/09/2013 1:18 AM Kyle and Audrey (Kyles girlfriend) went to Brandons truck and called Brandon on the way to find his exact location. Kyle spoke with Brandon and states it sounded like Brandon was running through brush, and scuffling around out in the brush. He told Kyle to just hurry up and get here then he hung up. Audrey called Brandon and he stated, Audg (her nickname) Im ****ing bleeding. Kyle and Audrey found Brandons truck on the road and saw that law enforcement was arriving at the truck at the same time, Coke Co Sheriffs Officer. They had bad signal but called Brandon again and Kyle asked Brandon where he was and Brandon told Kyle he was 10 minutes up the road. Kyle and Audrey were at the truck south of 277 with Coke County Chief Deputy Brandon Neal as Deputy Chris Fox was checking north on 277. Kyle and Audrey had a bad connection with Brandon and tried to text him. Kyle and Audrey went up the road, parked, and waited. After no response, they had text him and said, The police are at your truck. My opinion: This is where I believe information is misunderstood as a warning to Brandon to not go to his truck when in fact, the message was sent to Brandon to question him as to where he was and inform him that they were all there to help and waiting for him.
8. 08/09/2013 Approx 4:30 AM Ladessa spoke with Kyle and was told he had found the truck but no sight of Brandon. Kyle said in panic, I cant find my brother. I cant find my brother. He called me, and I cant find him. Kyle told Ladessa the doors were unlocked. Kyle added the gas in hopes Brandon would return. Kyle and Audrey returned home after. Coke County locked the truck doors and turned on the flashers.
9. 08/09/2013 Approx 5:00 AM Ladessa called police station to report the truck had been found in Bronte, TX 4 ½ miles N of Bronte, ¼ of a block from the rest stop (not a truck stop, no fuel stations, no restrooms, just picnic tables.) Ladessa told dispatch that a family member ran out of gas and gave location. She was calling to see if there was an update.
10. 08/10/2013 Ladessa was told by Misty, sheriffs dispatcher, that there were two 911 calls made the night before by Brandon. She indicated that the call was in-and-out due to bad reception.
11. 08/12/2013 Texas Rangers got involved but never interviewed Ladessa
12. 08/13/2013 Misty, Coke Co dispatch, told Ladessa information regarding the 911 call and stated Brandon said, I ran out of gas. I hit somebody. It was told to be a bad connection due to lack of reception. Dispatch asked if Brandon needed an ambulance and he declined and said, No, I need a cop then he hung up.
From sanangelolive.com news article:
1. Lawson was last seen leaving his residence following a fight with Lofton between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on August 9. Family members assume he was heading to Fort Worth, citing a lack of family and friends in the San Angelo area. (But his brother Kyle was in San Angelo)
2. Nearing Bronte on highway 277, Brandon reportedly dialed 911 at 12:50 a.m. because he had had an apparent accident and had run out of gas, however the phone call was hardly intelligible.
3. At 12:58 the Coke County Sherriffs 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.
4. Deputies responded to the call and arrived on the scene where Lawsons truck stood abandoned. At the same time, Kyle Lawson, Brandons brother, appeared with a gas can and filled his brothers truck.
5. According to Lori Norris, Brandon Lawson and Ladessa Loftons neighbor, the Sherriffs Deputies asked Kyle Lawson if he was the one who had made the call, and Kyle stated that the vehicle was his brothers and that he must have stepped away. Kyle Lawson would gas it up and his brother would return to retrieve it.
