A lot of people think the Laundries are lying when they say that Brian drove his Mustang to the Carlton Reserve on the 14th. These folks think the Laundries have helped Brian to escape, and they believe this process began on September 11, when the family went camping somewhere. My problem with this theory is this: why would the Laundries tell a lie that could so easily be exposed and land them in federal prison? If even one neighbor saw one of them (and not Brian) driving the Mustang to the Reserve, they are toast. If even one person on the road saw one of them (and not Brian) driving the Mustang to the Reserve, they are toast. If even one camera somewhere captured one of them (and not Brian) driving the Mustang to the Reserve, they are toast. Why would they tell such a lie? I don't think they would. Brian may not be in the Reserve, but I think the parents are telling the truth when they say he drove to the Reserve in his Mustang on the 14th.
