Would his friends or his girlfriend keep his desperate parents in the dark, if they knew or suspected he was hiding out with a friend or friends, going to K-Mart, etc.? For a whole month? Because I think they would know if he had a close enough friend who would take him in for weeks on end, no money, no job, no vehicle. JMO

Your question may have been rhetorical but ...

In some of the cases I've followed here on WS where teenagers are involved, some WSers have asked their own teenagers if they would confide in a parent/adult if faced with a serious issue about a friend and surprisingly (or not), the teens more frequently stated they would not share the info with the adult.

So ... who knows if the g/f and/or roommate would be forthcoming with info about BL, even while watching BL's suffering parents. In the roommates televised interview, he certainly gave me the impression that he held confidences with BL. Did he share them all with BL's parents and/or LE? Even if it would put the roommate in a bad light or be admitting some potentially illegal behavior?

Well, these are technically supposed to be adults...
Though I know it does not work that way anymore.

If I wanted to disappear and fall off the grid, I have friends who would do that for me. If they thought it was wrong, they would tell me to start with, not help me to disappear, then rat me out. KWIM?

 

[Seajay]

Did the roommate catch a ride with BL from their apartment to Buttonwillow?

With maybe a/some of the roommate's friend/s from Antelope Valley, his ?hometown?, picking roommate up from Buttonwillow?

Good question. I think CHP said he was alone when he checked on him after his mother called though. I also think the dude who brought him gas thought he was by himself, too.

Didn't you follow the LLomax case?

Are you also seeing haunting parallels to the LLomax case? TIA

But then continue the silence as people did dangerous dives looking for the person, etc.?

 

[Jo in Calif]

There could be a friend that his parents, girlfriend, friends from school and his room mate are not aware of.
This friend could be helping him.

If I asked them for help and they agreed, they wouldn't tell anyone. They might start bugging me to come clean, but no, they would not tell anyone, they'd leave that decision up to me. And maybe whatever friend was helping me isn't local and isn't aware of all the media surrounding this case.

I think that Bryce should decide to come out of hiding and face the music. For whatever reason he might have had, it's gone way too far now and he needs to just come out of wherever he is, if he's anywhere hiding.

Is religion a factor in this case?

Did BL enter a super secret Scientologist or like camp?

I did, and I was one of the minority who thought Linnea had gone off the grid on her own.

O/T: I did too! I was absolutely stunned when, where and how she was found!

I think I'm dreading and feeling the same thing happening in this case.

It's not an ego thing, I swear it's not, but I hope you are both wrong!!!! I followed the Linnea Lomax case towards the end, when the searches were going on, so I had no opinion on what happened to her, I hadn't read ALL the threads. So I was not surprised when her mother found her body during the search. I figured because of her mental issues, it could go either way, she either ran off or she met with foul play or suicide.

I want you to be wrong because I don't want Bryce to be deceased. I guess I fight that in most cases. I thought Dylan Redwine was still alive. I was wrong.

However, I did believe that Adrienne Salinas was deceased as it proved to be.

I just have too much hope with what else went on during those first few days, that Bryce is still alive. Enough people have disappeared purposely and resurfaced years later for me to believe it's possible.

 

[Quester]

I hope I'm wrong too!

I'm just losing my last smidgen of hope in this case.

 

[Eileen730]

Why break up with the girlfriend? And what could he possibly want to talk to his mom about?? For some reason I think this has everything to do with
everything .....

Had he met someone new? Someone no one knew about? Maybe someone mom might it be so happy to hear about or. Something maybe mom wasn't expecting to hear .
Just my thoughts.

I don't really have a solid feeling one way or the other in Bryce's case. The timeline is all over the place. I did not feel that Linnea or Dylan or Adrienne would be found alive. Not sure about Bryce, but still concerned about that lake. JMO

I'm with you, there.

The thing is though, I had other reasons to believe Linnea had voluntarily disappeared. IMO her family gave off weird vibes- very judgmental, super strict, and I felt she didn't want to return home to her parents. I also had no reason to not believe Sac PD, who thought she was a runaway.
I don't get the same sense in this case, although I think something is going on with Bryce mentally to break from his old life, I just don't know if the accident caused it, or something that was going on beforehand like a lifestyle change, drugs, etc. I do find it weird that he would chose to spend 12 hours in Buttonwillow. The town stinks literally, it's very hot, and there isn't much to it. For me, it's a pitstop on the way to L.A. to get food, gas, or spend the night when traffic is really bad on I5, like traveling for Thanksgiving.:moo:

If he hadn't had the weird trip with the unaccounted for hours, and the breakup (or not) with his girlfriend, I'd say he was deceased, either by accident or intentionally. But the roommate's words (and what was NOT said), the breaking up with a girlfriend he purportedly loved, the odd road trip, all make me think he was at some kind of crossroads and trying to figure something out in his life. It is my belief that that car crash was unintentional (he got stuck in the soft sand and either accelerated out of the stuck position and ended up crashing, or decided to go down the hill not realizing it dropped off), and it left him dazed and he wandered off, or left him contemplating life (and how he could have died) and chose another direction for his life, wherever it led. JMO.

It's hard for me to imagine a child would decide to fall off the grid without at least saying "I'm disappearing for a while." My daughter would tell me that, but my son would not, and he would not because he wouldn't want to have to deal with any recriminations. He would imagine all the worst case scenarios, even if they weren't anything that would really happen. (he just said so)

Not even to leave a note or get word he was okay? He would not have to say where he was or return. I don't get allowing parents to worry in this way. I still feel awful about keeping my mom up a few hours, when I was late for curfew way back when. She could not spare the missed sleep. Nothing would have made me worry her even overnight, at any age.

Yes... Are you familiar with that crazy thing that young people do on Facebook, wherein someone starts a group called "Lost my phone, need numbers!" and then hundreds of other FB young people (total strangers) just type their phone number as a comment in the group? Talk about a phone telemarketer's boon! Anyway, Bryce joined a bunch of those, posted his 6304083355 number in a big one that had 325 members, posted back in April of 2012 (which is probably an old cell number from IL) and in July of 2011. So people from all over had his number, he has numbers from others... Just might connect him to a wider range of friends. To see how many times this "event" is created, simply type this into Google: new phone need numbers site:facebook.com Crazy what kids do!

I don't mean to post anything that is against rules, and hopefully Bryce's postings are okay? These seem to be potential clues to directions or connections he may have. TIA for guidance...
