Read the comments on the “youth crowd” post. The person that he tagged in that post responded in the comments section and showed a screenshot of the message BC sent him.
Oh yikes about the post/comments now but thanks for helping explain what that was all about.

I have another FB photo question. The third one currently on his page dated April 18 with the two dogs on the floor. Facebook

What is that hairy looking thing on the chair?
Is that a vent/crawl space with the top off behind the welding box/next to the chair?
Brown furry throw pillow? moo

It's his right hand on his pant leg. I hadn't read all the comments yet just thought it was weird for a child to have a knife in the picture.

I can't see it. I don't have Facebook, so it puts a big log in banner on the bottom half of every picture. Wish people could just post the picture they are talking about. Not everyone has Facebook, and like me, never will.

Which little boy?

Facebook

According to the comments, the boy in the red hat is JC and the other kids are his siblings. I don't see a knife--can you describe where it is?

@LostOldUserName you’re right. He’s chosen a photo of him and his siblings where, as a little kid, he’s holding a knife. So many clues. Scary.

Just some quick quips I was thinking about. My apologies if already discussed I've been trying to read the thread as much as I can but y'all are fast!!

Tattoos: JBC's was considering tattooing and had tattooed people before. (Via a quote on his FB page.)

He mentions "Irish Pride" on FB via memes and has a version of the Iron cross as a Celtic on his chest and has lightning bolts on his hands. All possible vague references to white supremacist groups and possibly Irish gangs. Sometimes the Irish gangs are a cover name for basically neo-nazis and similar groups.

I noticed it seems like he has an affinity for Sally from Nightmare before Christmas because of his drawing video on FB and a few quotes on FB about women and scars. Maybe the joker and Harley Quinn as well or just clowns as it's a motif that shows up a few times on his FB and maybe his tattoos? I don't know some of those tats are so bad I can't tell what they are.

There's a post he talks about what he wants from women (the usual sad relationship crap he posts a lot) but he uses the word woman and referred to himself as a boy. Just thought I mention it as a mental note for us all.

Also random thought his FB link is BrianChadwell313 So I wonder if he used just the name Brian as an alias.

Lastly, if you do a search on his FB for the "youth crowd" post. What does that even mean?! He was wanting a what? I'd appreciate it if someone could help me understand that post.
His Tik Tok and Twitter acct have the number 313 in them too. I noticed all the 313’s the other day and looked up the symbology for the number. I don’t know if he thinks he’s the love Angel or what. I was researching the Outlaw motorcycle and hot rod gangs in Lafayette yesterday and thought it might be related but don’t find he has a motorcycle or hot rod. Anyone see a familiar sign of his posted here:

probably more than people realize. Sometimes a sad way of life for the homeless. They usually make base camps near a bridge with some type of dollar store and a liquor store nearby.

That's his birthday Gram. We pretty much ruled out him being a "real" biker. No colors or anything like that. Heck not even ink of a bike on him.

Plus I figured if a biker is crying on SM the world has ended.

Then again I can't see this guy taking a bus.but he did at some point.

Since he was into trains, think he coulda been a freight hopper? It’s an easy free way to travel. I’d sure like to se any of his vehicles searched. He probably slept in them half the time.

@margarita25 thanks for all your hard work. The hands in pocket photo really helpful.

Apologies to anyone if I offended. Not judging alcoholics. Y'all are right.

Sooo there's four covered bridges in Indiana.

Gotta run, but we can compare. If I recall there's not a ton of covered bridges left in the US. Learned that in Lancaster.

There are many more than 4. Indiana has a Covered Bridge festival about preserving their history.
