Well I've finally read through all 5 threads on here and would just like to add my 2 pence thoughts if that's ok
Firstly the 911 call. I believe that the editing is done at the beginning before Brandon says "yes, I'm in a field"
I think he may have given identifying information and a better location or at least the beginning of a location and that information has been redacted by the police.
My take on what he says during the call is below
Yes, I'm in the middle of a field
A skyper just cruised some guys over
We're out here going toward Abilene on both sides
My truck ran outta gas
There's one car/guy here, he got chased into the woods
Please hurry
We're not talking to 'em (or) went out talking to 'em
And I totally ran into 'em
Just the first guy
Yeah (different person)
No, I need the cops!
I believe it's possible that between the second & third 'hello' there could be a very faint whisper saying 'help me'
Further from the 911 call I am struggling to understand how Brandon can be in such deadly trouble once minute that he's begging the police to hurry, yet 20 mins approx later he's hiding from the LE officer who attends! It just makes no sense whichever way I try to look at it unless LE were involved in whatever trouble Brandon had stumbled across and the LE officer present was involved. Since there's been no theories of that being possible I have to say that is highly unlikely. I do also believe if that WAS the case that Brandon would have texted or said something to KL or A while he was supposedly watching that he couldn't come out due to the fact that the officer present was involved...he didn't say that, ergo that cannot be the reason he stayed hidden.
The hiding thing again. Even if we say he had a reason to call the police, beg them to hurry, then hide from them when they did arrive, why did he not come out after? Why if KL knew Brandon was hiding, did he not hang around until the officer had left the scene so Brandon could come out? It would seem simple enough for K & A to tell the officer they'd hang around a while and wait for Brandon so they could go and get gas.
If they did hang around after the officer left the scene then why, if Brandon was supposedly only feet away from them and could see the officer, did he not come out? That whole part of the story makes NO SENSE whatsoever. No matter how you try to twist it. I would say that since we have proof the 911 call exists, but we don't have proof of ANYTHING KL or A said about Brandon watching etc, that we have to dismiss all of that as false.
I'd like to think that the texts could be produced as proof or were taken by the police as proof if indeed Brandon did say these things to Kyle or Audrey after the 911 call.
Secondly, most of us believe there are two voices on the 911 call, I believe that too, but what if the second voice that says yeah is not someone Brandon is running from, or has pinned down. What if it's someone he's hiding with? Someone who is hurt and Brandon had come across a situation where a couple of guys were being hurt and he stopped to try to help, realising too late he was out of his depth. Maybe the 'yeah' voice was someone Brandon was helping, who was injured and that's why he said 'yeah' to the ambulance? Brandon could have thought the ambulance could wait until the cops showed up and either arrested the perpetrators or they fled the scene and Brandon & the hurt guy were safe?
Has KL ever spoken publicly about this? If not, do we know why not? If my brother was missing. And had supposedly sent these texts & calls prior to just vanishing, I know I'd be in front of reporters, msm & whoever would listen to me at every opportunity I got! Yet I've not heard of a single recorded interview with Kyle & that makes me think hmmmm...
I can't get my head around the phone charging in the van thing. Surely unless the van is running the phone won't charge?
The whole garage sale site & LL asking people if they'd seen Brandon. My understanding of that is that Brandon had been off work that day and had gone out, and it was during the day or the early evening that LL was asking people "have y'all seen Brandon". If at this point he was supposed to be home and was out and not answering LL's calls I can imagine that she would have been furious when he did finally arrive home! That could well have been the catalyst for their argument.
I read that they argued at least in part because Brandon accused LL of seeing someone else and that the argument was very loud and Brandon hit something?
Could LL be trying to hold back information because she was seeing someone (if she was, I know where my suspicions would lie at this point)? I can totally understand why she would try for that to not become public knowledge if that was possibly the case, certainly in the beginning anyway.
This could explain the whole answering Kyle's calls but not Brandon's as well. If you're that angry with someone & they keep trying to ring you, you ignore them, busy them whatever, but answer other calls at least until you calm down. It's also possible that maybe LL accused Brandon of seeing someone else rather than the other way round...again, not exactly something she'd want to be common knowledge & understandable if she tried to hide it initially.
I apologise for the long post, but everything's just been going round in my head for the last few days it's taken me to read though all 5 threads.
I think that either Brandon is sadly dead and his remains will eventually be found and if that's the case, then it was someone Brandon knew well. Or that Brandon decided to just cut his losses and start again.
I believe the LE know exactly what happened, but they just don't have enough evidence to prove it. Kind of like when someone is acquitted of a crime & the police make a statement after saying that they're not looking for anyone else in connection with the crime and it is not an open investigation - they tried hard in the beginning with searches etc, but I believe they became party to information fairly early on that made them decide not to pursue the disappearance but that they are currently unable to prove and that led them to halt their enquiries. (It would be great if Ranch Wife could give me a yea or nay on that point as I'm sure she probably still reads the thread)
Obviously this is all just my opinion
