Who murders, or covers up the death of the favorite son of a small Texas town?
The only person in that town that seemed to have an issue TB was Nathan Lewis: he insisted TB was still alive, and ran away with his gay older lover. Because that makes complete sense.. TB won’t need a car, clothes, and doesn’t care to say bye to his family or even send them am I’m ok text, and never talked about liking men to anyone.
And then, he puts the diaper bit on blast. Ok, well, let’s assume for a moment that someone killed TB because they found the diaper thing weird.. Lewis basically just destroyed that piece of evidence: a little known detail that someone could incriminate themselves with by admitting to knowing about it. Nothing is accomplished by Lewis revealing this; it only serves to publicly humiliate a dead teenage.
I’m willing to excuse small town law enforcement being baffled by who kills a small towns favorite son and indulges in some theories.. but his entire behavior is not just unprofessional, it’s malicious.
My intuition on this makes me thing that the AG investigators found something that pointed to the sheriffs office. Because I think it was not just Nathan Lewis that was fired but a few others as well. And he was fired for what, falsified continuing training or whatever it was? It just feels like a very bureaucratic way to get rid of someone.. like you went looking for a reason. Maybe you don’t know who did it, but you have to get these people out of the loop to start and build a case against them.
Good points and I also agree.
The one point that niggles at me is the echoes from the beginning of the case that students alluded to Tom Brown being found at Lake Marvin which was ultimately found to be true. There were almost no whispers from the school claiming suicide or running away... that confounds me. Could it have been that a couple people were involved? Or there were witnesses as kids hang out at Lake Marvin? If I saw a kid at odds with the Sheriff, I’d probably keep my mouth shut.
NL does appear to me as malicious not just incompetent and on so many occasions his indifference is palpable.
The body was found not far from a car path, as was the bag and the phone, and someone took the car almost all the way back to Toms home at 5am (as seen on Alexander Delis cameras) and then finally parked it just outside (but within easy walking distance ) of town, then urinates just next to the car. This smacks to me of someone brazen, arrogant, and not panicked at all.
The phone being tossed is odd, anyone could have easily hidden it like the gun, wallet, keys but instead wanted it to be found. Why? Cuz it had the google search that Tom called the Suicide Hotline. Hmmmm. I find it funny how all the “coincidences” are just “off” - like Pyne Gregory finding his remains, like Fronks gas stations cameras not working that night, and press saying they were dummy cameras, then not dummy cameras, then not working ? The picture of Tom pumping gas that went missing and the author of the article was “wrong”.... even tho Penny saw it. All the outlandish excuses! So many things that just make you go hmmmm.
The fact that out of all the teens in Canadian, the one that went missing is the one with whom the Sheriff had a bone to pick... Interesting that NL had just recently become Sheriff to boot.
The previous sheriff has been very articulate about his dislike for NL’s dismissal of the law and process and his outrage at the way this case was handled.
At the end of the day, it’s pretty damming that NL had illegally detained Tom a and berated him while off duty and working in another jurisdiction. It showed extreme disregard for the police process and he certainly wasn’t apologetic about it, but rather insisted on his actions being virtuous. That’s a narcissistic way to view the law. So his disregard for the law has been proven.
His disregard for the victim is apparent in so many ways.
Theres a video on YouTube from Unfound showing where the Durango was finally parked and how easy it was to walk back into town. We all know the car wasn’t processed but what about that area? Obviously, any suspect would have climbed over the fence. Funny how processing that area became a point of zero discussion and the car, well, that was “too dirty.”
