Hi There,

If I am correct in this "timeline" thing- Bryce's vehicle was found around 5:30am last Friday 8 days ago. The burning body was found five days later this past Wednesday 4 days ago? What time about of the day was the body found by the bicyclist? Does anyone know? Thank you

dragracerz: Has there been anything released as far as footprints or tire tracks of another vehicle found around the area where car went off the road (possibly another party observing?), or around the site when the vehicle came to rest? A 2nd set of footprints besides Bryce's walking away?

I still hope they looked into any ER or urgent care patients with suspicious injuries. Not Bryce, but someone else that may have been driving.

dragracerz posted this earlier today

There was / is a discrepancy about the emergency tool. The sheriff first on the scene said it was used. Another said it wasn't

<modsnip> it would be quite difficult to accidently drive off the road where the car was crashed.
He said, you would have to maneuver around the gate then turn to miss the fence around the cell tower.
Now this could mean that Bryce thought he had driven too far down that road and used this to try and turn around and with it being so dark didn't see the edge and then rolled the car
OR
it could mean that someone, intentionally drove around to purposely dump the car.
One strange thing that was observed was that in the tire marks, there were mounds of dirt behind point of travel as to indicate acceleration NOT braking.
Now, again, this could be a last minute effort to "save" the vehicle from going over OR one to dump it

Just a friendly FYI....not supposed to post about PM'ing each other.....

If they have video of his vehicle traveling that road three times on Friday then perhaps they have video of another vehicle traveling that road just before the cyclist found the burning body on Wed? hhhmmm

I am now concerned that he was carjacked, possibly while sleeping in the Castaic area the first time. Then the perp drove the car around again to look for a place to dump it. Doesn't explain where he is though. Also doesn't explain why the car would be dumped at all, unless it was personal.

So concerning. Praying for the family.

I saw this, but was wondering about additional vehicles or any footprints. :)

If they have anything they are not releasing that info

@ dragracerz: When BL's SUV was seen the second time on video (Fri 4:20am) heading toward Casitas Lake ...
Was there a clear view of the back end of the SUV?

Was the rear window intact at that time? TIA

After the crash, was the rear window the only one that was smashed/broken?

Is that a California thing? Every recreational lake I've been to down there had floating restrooms: Pyramid Lake, Castaic and Lake Casitas. I certainly hope they don't empty to the lake though.

I wish they had one at PineCrest lake! It's a long way row when you gotta go :)

When the dogs followed "his" scent to the water's edge (of lake) how do we know it was Bryce's scent? Just thinking that if someone else was driving or in the car it could have been his/her scent if they just followed any scent from the car to the lake?

Did the re-do the dog scent with the dirty socks & shoes? And did that scent go straight to the water?

Dragracerz, so sorry your family is going through this.

Do you know why it was reported that Bryce was going to break up with his girlfriend, but she gives no indication that was the case?

IDK if it has anything to do with anything, but just something several of us here noticed.

I don't know... must be, I assumed it was everywhere. And no, doesn't empty into the lake. At least the one I know of is towed to the shore to be emptied.

I know this is pretty OT but I wonder if it is 100%. I hadn't thought about possible maintenance workers (or "floating portapotty emptiers") being there. I can see them coming pretty early. I wonder if anyone like that came the day Bryce went missing and if they might've seen anything at all?

I agree!! I am not so much wondering if they saw anything but if they are involved? Has anyone done any digging into park workers or the individuals who are in there early training/ whomever was there that found the crashed car.....Both events happened early AM. Car crash located and buying body.
