So funny story that just happened to me. It’s KINDA off topic but kinda not.
I was in my old neighborhood with my old neighbors over there. (Mind you I live about an hour east of BL) We went out for a ride to try and get their baby to sleep and we get back and a vacant house (my old house ironically) across the street was lit up and a van was in the driveway with the hood up. So I call it in to dispatch and describe the dude (yep, bald with a beard, it was dark and I couldn’t see his hands) because as far as everyone knew nobody was supposed to be in that house. I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BL! So we’re standing outside and my neighbor starts whispering that the sheriffs were walking up the road to the house. I turn around and they have the K9 and running. They go up and announce themselves and the dog is going NUTS! Then about 6 more deputies come walking up. They come over and talk to me asking questions and when they finally figured out the people were allowed to be there, I told the deputy that talked to me that I was sorry. It seemed suspicious and there’s kids that live right around. So, he says it’s okay. I said please tell the k9 I’m sorry for wasting his time, I didn’t realize the whole dang department was gonna come out. He looked me dead in the face and says.. “it’s okay, all LE is on alert. We had so much back up because we thought it could have been Brian Laundrie.” I kinda giggled to myself because.. well, I’m on Websleuths! I was like “yeah that would be WEIRD!”
