Quoting the Facebook update:
"To all the members of the Help Find Brandon Lawson page:
First and foremost, I want to tell each one of you that I appreciate all of your support, kind words, prayers, assistance, concern, and love that has been given to me and my family over the course of the last 8 ½ years. Being Brandon’s partner in life and knowing him, I know that he would feel hallowed knowing that so many people took the time to share his story. It is deeply appreciated and has helped our family in so many ways find comfort. Answers are something that we have searched for, and today I’m sharing with you that we now have some of those answers.
It is with a heavy heart and great difficulty that we have an important update regarding Brandon’s case. Our family’s long-awaited journey to find answers draw near. For years, we have gone to great lengths to search the area of Brandon’s last known whereabouts. Many searches have been conducted in various ways to locate any potential clues. We have had a circle of supporters assisting us in locating Brandon throughout this process.
Recently, one of those advocates led a small search party in the vicinity of Brandon’s last known location. The search team came upon some clothing that were consistent with Brandon’s clothing. Authorities in local law enforcement were contacted and were able to take the evidence in for testing. The Texas Rangers conducted a search that ultimately led them to discover human remains in this same area. Although DNA tests are needed to confirm identification, it in our hearts that we know that it is Brandon.
Our main focus throughout this entire ordeal has been to bring Brandon home so that he can finally rest in peace and our family can have the answers we have prayed for. I know that many of you will have questions, but at this time we do not have those answers. We will keep everyone notified of all new developments. I ask that you please, respect our family’s privacy at this time while we wait for results. Brandon’s parents, his children, his siblings, his family, and I thank you for your unwavering support over the years in helping to find Brandon. I, on behalf of our family want to also express to Jason Watts, Dylan, Ryan, Paul, Chris, Melissa, Whitney, Josh, Amber, John-John, the private investigators, and all supporters that we appreciate all your dedication and tenacity throughout this entire journey.
Lastly, Brandon will forever remain in the hearts of all who loved him. We are extremely grateful that we can lay him to rest, and our family can have peace knowing he is home. Our love for Brandon will get us through what is yet to come.
All our love,
Ladessa & Family"
