[dreamweaver]

From Brian Wehrle's partners FB page:
... AMW has shown an interest in having a segment on Brian, but does not know when as AMW is backed up..
.....Also, that City of Carollton is planning to donate money for a reward.
.....This info dated 4/24/2010.

I cannot find an update on Georgia's missing person list and no info on City of Carrolton about any reward for Brian W.

The Carrollton Police Dept is planning to donate money for a reward?

This is the same police dept that sat on fiber samples and a fingerprint?

I don't know or don't remember if the family seriously considered a private investigator. Seems to me the minute the car was found in Chattanooga, the Carrollton PD felt it had nothing more to do as if to say "if a crime was committed, it was not here in town, so let someone else worry about it."

I misspoke.. mis wrote... I am used to writing PD, the FB page says
the city of Carrollton....

The sense I get from the partner's FB page is that he is satisfied with
Carrollton PD at this moment in time.

I had thought that holding a vigil in Carrollton would be helpful, bring more awareness to Brian W's missing status.
Hiring a private investigator is a good idea as well.

I do remember on FB it was noted that Carrollton PD feels the person who caused Brian's disappearance is in located in Carrollton.

How would Carrolton know where person was located unless they know who may have caused his abduction? I don't get that statement at all...especially with his car turning up elsewhere...

I really want to know what happened with the finger print. I keep coming back to find out and there is nothing new...poor Brian and family...

The comment came from FB so it is not necessarily a reflection of what the police really believe. I do find it bizarre that the Carrollton police would think something happened to him in Carrollton when they originally thought this was a lover's quarrel until the car was found in Chattanooga.

It looks like only a couple of us on here try to keep Brian's thread active. I checked FB again and still no update there on whether the police ran the print or analyzed the fibers they found. Last item posted on FB was March 4, 2010.

I would HOPE that LE got back to the family already and that the info just did not make it onto FB.

I do not know the reason why Brian's missing FB page has not been updated.
I did receive a message on FB from Brian's partner.
He stated that there is a $5000.00 reward from the City of Carrollton.
He plans to raise more money to add to the reward amount.
Discussed by email the better ways to handle the bank account for this action... donations and all.

I sent an email to State of Georgia missing persons asking them to add Brian Wehrle to their missing persons page.
No response received at this time.

I just sent an email to the police in Carrollton, GA, asking for Brian to be featured on their web page.

Thanks Dream.

If you did not post the bit about the reward then it looks like no one would know about it. I found a website for Carrollton, GA and it is almost impossible to search. I could not find anything there and you would think if the municipality was going to spend public money for a reward, then at least there would have been some official acts required and some publicity.

I received an email from the Carrollton PD and they gave me the link
the CrimeStoppers.

They just posted the information.

But, Brian's pic is not on there and the way the page is arranged, it looks like
Brian is the next person on the list.
Think I will share that feedback with the email person.

When I googled "Brian Wehrle" and "reward", there were a number of hits.

This one caught my eye. The author of the blog knows one of Brian's sisters and she described her initial impression:

At the time, I was pretty well convinced that he had taken off on his own. Brian has always been known as the moody type and I could just see him deciding that he needed to go chill out on a beach somewhere and if he was in his "Diva Mood", he would have even been amused that people would be worried about him.

She no longer feels that way but does mention that several psychics have been consulted. The entire blog piece can be found here:

Still no update on the "Find Brian Wehrle" facebook page. Last entry of substance was March 4 and that was about the fingerprint.

Is anything happening on the ground down there with his missing person case?

 

[watcher9]

Just saw this and thought it's a stretch, but I guess depending on how the river/creeks flow????

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/23612281/detail.html

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office officials hope an autopsy Thursday will identify a body fishermen discovered....
Investigators said they are checking into a case of a man who disappeared before the September floods ravaged the creek. Police said the man found is in his 40’s or 50’s and he was wearing khaki pants and a belt.

thanks for the news item watcher.

not sure it is Brian but anything is possible. My question would be if it is Brian, then how did he get separated from his vehicle which apparently had no water damage.

 

[watcher9]

I don't know the answer to how he got separated from his car which had no water damage that we know of.
I don't know how the car ended up in Chattanooga either.
I can't figure this case out.

 

[cluciano63]

Could he have been carjacked for his vehicle by someone who needed it only long enough to get to Tennessee? Someone running from law or even a prison escapee? Just thinking out loud...that would be one way he could end up in the water I guess...

 

[carbuff]

I initially wondered whether he drove off the road (accident or medical emergency) and then stumbled into the water because of being disoriented, then later somebody took the apparently abandoned car.

The problem with that is that the car itself vanished for more than a month before it surfaced in Chattanooga and if I'm not mistaken, it was in that neighborhood a full month before police checked it out. We have no idea where the car was before it was first seen in Chattanooga.

I don't think that happened as the family has stated that when he was last seen awake at 2 a.m., he would only have gone to one of a handful of possible destinations in downtown Carrollton which was no more than a 5 min drive.

I never recall any discussion of any rivers between his house and those few stores/eateries that he might have gone to. So unless there is a river running through Carrollton, it is doubtful he could stumble into the water.

Found this article -

We located the individual's vehicle but our efforts to locate him were hampered due to the floods," said Chief Deputy Stan Copeland.

Looking at Yahoo map, Carrollton is a little over 28 miles to Douglasville which is right off I-20 on the way back to Atlanta.

I think Brian's neighbor saw him around 2am to 2;30am in his parents garage.
When the neighbor left for work around 8;30am, Brian's car was not in the garage.

Car discovered in Chattanooga, TN early Dec., with false license plates.
The car had been sitting in that neighborhood about a month.
The license plates were taken off a car in early Oct.
So, whoever had the car waited about a month before leaving it in Chattanooga.

I do not know about rivers in Carrollton, GA. But there was a very severe rain storm when Brian drove from Atlanta to Carrollton. It caused a long delay in arriving in Carrollton.
