Found Deceased CA - Blaze Bernstein, 19, Lake Forest, 2 Jan 2018 #3

Do we have any confirmation that BB actually asked the friend to take him to the park? Or are we just making that assumption?

Here's why I'm asking ... it doesn't make sense to me that he would ask a friend who lives 20-30 minutes away to come all the way to take him to a park 5 minutes from his house. So did the friend come to pick him up and they just ended up at the park???

Depop is an online used clothing app. Like an online thrift store.

Quick question: Did CBS mention the drain or has LE mentioned the drain?

The reporter on CBS Los Angeles FB live did mention the drain but did not confirm whether is was where the body was found. Just ( solid IMO) speculation at this point.

I think a lot of us speculate the friend is the one who initiated contact. -- You see how we all assumed Blaze was the one who said, "Come on by...." Blaze may have been pressured and talked into allowing the friend to come get him.

I know very little about Tumblr, but I hopped on the wayback machine and found archives of his site.


You can see everything posted to his account by changing the page number in this URL :

I was able to get to 1449 I think. Not much interesting, mostly reposting memes...

That was always the million dollar question. It just never added up for me.

Someone said online at a news site, he had an account on gindr. Could he have been meeting up with someone? Why did they not use dogs to find him instead of drones?

 

[KaliChick]

If the friend lived in the immediate area, I can see it. Not coming from Newport though.

 

[Staceydisem]

wow, that's deep! It seems to fit the profile of his life: coming out, medication, college, etc....

400 more than the number on your profile photo!:shame:

It's street slang for weed (derived from the section marijuana is found in the criminal code)

Always a lot of confusion on the use of the number 420.

420 is the penal code section for marijuana use in California. Nope.
Section 420 of the California penal code refers to obstructing entry on public land. The penal codes of other states list different entries for 420, but none of them matches anything having to do with marijuana.

The did use dogs. S&R dogs as well as cadaver dogs.

I don’t have much to add. I’m so devastated. My son came home from school and just as I was about to tell him what we learned today ... he told me first , as he told me Blaze’s Sister is in one of his classes 😞. We will be going to the vigil tonight with heavy hearts.

Just got back from some shopping for our oldest grandson's b-day. (He is turning 6 ! )

And then logged on and saw the sad news....

Well I'm guessing the driver/friend is a poi by now ??

So disgusted at some people. Horrible.
My thoughts are with Blaze's family.

Does anyone know suppose there had been DNA on the drain grate or the drain itself would it had been washed off or does it stick due to skin oils assuming perp wasn't wearing gloves. Also I'm curious if Blaze will have defensive wounds.

News has been warning about this huge storm coming all last week telling people to sand bag to prepare for flooding this week. I wonder if perp was counting on the rain to get rid of any DNA, clothing hair fiber evidence. etc

Thanks. I shouldn't read what others say online who did not know this.

They used dogs and drones.

Initial reports said the dogs didn't find his scent.

Saw this and thought it may be relevant, even though it was two years old :

My 18 year old college freshman will be getting a lot of unconditional love this evening before she returns to school. I have already learned so much from you Blaze. Your life was important and beautiful. Tears.

420 is a commonly used term signifying cannabis friendly. It's nothing to do with penal codes for marijuana use.

There is an article here explaining why 420 is used http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/420-meaning-the-true-stor_n_543854

Note how easy it is to get from that corner of the park to the small parking lot below. Perhaps the person who did this discovered the drain pipe earlier, prepped it by removing the lid, and basically orchestrated the whole thing. Parking in the small lot, arranging (somehow) for BB to meet him in that dark corner of Borego Park, and finally escaping down the ramp to his car.

What parking lot are you referring to?
It appears there is a fence near the drain.
