GUILTY MI - Chelsea Bruck, 22, Frenchtown Twp, 26 Oct 2014 #1

[SmartSassyBBW]

Thank you so much Braggi, words can not express my gratitude towards you enough.

We've been very busy today after People magazine featured Chelsea on their website.

@ARealist- The way it was explained to me was that LE wanted to focus all their energy on investigating any and all leads. I can't really say more than that.

As for the other questions, I will try to say this succinctly as possible. There is no secret boyfriend, I don't think there has ever been a boyfriend let alone a secret one the cops checked into her computer/phone/social media first thing no evidence of boyfriend. The family is extraordinarily close-knit, there is no way Chelsea has gone this long without talking to anyone from the family of her own freewill. The four sisters were pretty close in age, they talked constantly there were no real secrets between them, they would know if something was happening on the sly. We would not be putting this much time and effort into finding her if we thought she bolted of her own freewill.

Chelsea was not a wild party girl (not that there is anything wrong with that). The wine bottle she was pictured at the party was a prop it was filled with food coloring and it had a big label on it that said poison because she was haha poison ivy. I'm not saying she didn't drink at all but not to excess. There was no drug use. It absolutely would not have been tolerated at my mother-in-law's house. She really wasn't the super rebellious type, she was kind of shy and socially awkward. My in-laws/her parents made her get a job if she wished to continue living at home, she seemed to like her job working at Olga's. Chelsea never got her license, it was my understanding that she was an appallingly bad driver (I know she tried to back her mom's van into the garage but failed to open the garage door first once when the in-laws were visiting) as she could be a bit ditzy/clumsy at times.

This is quote 778 for reference.

My grandson lost so many cell phones and maybe that is why she left hers in her friends car. And I agree like others here that she knew him and trusted him to leave with him and something awful
happen during that ride back home or to her friends house. I also read witnesses saw her at the bonfire my question is was she still in her costume? Look at the comments in this article-

http://www.examiner.com/article/what-happened-to-chelsea-bruck?cid=rss

I wish we could get a confirmation on whether she was still wearing only her costume when she was seen leaving the party?

 

[Kilen]

The last person that saw her said she was still wearing the costume when he saw her with the POI. I know they were very specifically looking for plastic leaves from the costume when they were searching for her.

I know at least one of the video companies turned over all their footage pretty much immediately, I don't recall which one unfortunately. It is my understanding that videographers were mostly there to film the bands for the music video(s). I can't comment on the music as I have not heard it, I keep my laptop on mute ^^;

Thanks for the info...have you heard if she was ever seen wearing a shirt (like a sweatshirt) covering her costume at some point in the night?

 

[Kilen]

That's all the information I have confirmation on, there are mixed reports about possibly acquiring a hoody at some point.

^ Here's the band's FB. I don't see the "missing poster" on the page, but there's a link to info about Chelsea Bruck that includes the poster.

I think if you look way down through the pictures on the site, well, I won't post it, but is that Chelsea Bruck? It was posted on May 3rd of this year from their CD release party. There's a group of Big Mike's (tongue out) and his crew, huddling for the picture outdoors and she is at the front 3rd from left. I think it is okay to post the link, but I'll remove it if it isn't. So she wasn't just another party goer at the concerts, they must have known her, before the June concert with all the attention from the security guard, before the Halloween concert. She felt safe with them, with Big Mike's crew.

This picture. It haunts me.

This picture. It haunts me.

I had the opposite reaction to it. She appears sober/at most lightly buzzed considering there is a beer in her hand, alert, comfortable and happy. This photo IMO reinforces some of what Kilen had to say about Chelsea not being one to drink to excess etc.

Agreed. It just surprises me that instead of Big Mike and his band reacting with the sense of one of their own, somebody fond of his band, friendly with his crew, rallying to help, like with a benefit concert to generate funds and leads, where people could bring their pictures, or participate in the search. His tendency has been to minimize any association with her and ride the wave of publicity, minimize association now that she is lost from his concert. That tells me something about him that isn't at all flattering, but I don't want to judge him, just observing. Probably why Mrs. L Bruck, Big Mike was quoted as saying in an MSM broadcast interview, isn't very happy with him. I'm not judging his taste in music, just trying to understand how things stand.

Has this picture been passed onto law enforcement? The guy in the middle looks... vaguely familiar...

I have been told that it has.

I have what I think are screen shots of him already forwarded to Kilen, from the Halloween concert in the crowd. White collared shirt, strap across his chest from a bag he's carrying, a commie cap, a grin on his face, in most of the shots, and especially as he's walking away at one point from the stage area, IIRC, and if it is him.

I wonder if he sometimes wears glasses

Thank you, findHG, for all your hard work. Every poster on this thread is just amazing. Really.

I, also, contacted Kilen about this picture a while back. I can't seem to get past it.

Yes, it's honorable company and honored to part-take. Sorry, it is old news. Here's the picture and an MSM link where it was previously posted, taken from the May 3rd CD promo party off their facebook site.

Interview with Big Mike, just to review
http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/2...ere-chelsea-bruck-disappeared-from-speaks-out

Just a note, when somebody prefaces what they say with "honestly" it is sometimes a tell, as they don't mean to be saying that everything else they say isn't honest, but what they are saying now is hard for them to say. Not saying he wasn't being honest necessarily, just that it may have been hard for him to say maybe that 'yeah, the sketch seems like a dead ringer for this one guy.' If I were LE, I'd revisit this issue with the crew about how well they knew Chelsea or guys around her who looked like the sketch, with whom she may have had the comfort of accepting a ride home. My overwhelming impression is that Big Mike and his crew knew her better then the impression he tries to give. And why was that security guy in the June concert so interested in her phone? Why did Chelsea Bruck not want to hang onto to her phone? Is that related in any way?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUfvg2TP6N4#t=74 as of this video, according to Big Mike police may have not even been aware of the videos, so not something he shared right off, and used MSM to make it public. Same as above, better quality on slow speed, interesting body language.

100% Agree with you about how Big Mike, and the band in general have handled the situation. The wave of publicity would be better ridden by supporting efforts to find her rather than minimizing it. Everything you mentioned, benefit concerts etc, would all generate positive publicity for the band. ( Note: It shouldn't be ABOUT the band, I'm just trying to look at it from a selfish publicity/fame hungry perspective since that is the vibe I get from them) All completely IMO of course.

Yep. Adults get to choose their actions, how they respond, it would seem to me too. I agree with you on Big Mike's choices. There's a difference between covering your *** and helping as much as you can, I do believe.

Have there been any searches this weekend?

 

[Klynn3]

While at my in laws for Thanksgiving...I met someone who knows one of Chelsea's best friends very well. This person has also met Chelsea many times. Regardless, this individual said that Chelsea and some of her friends often followed Big Mikes band. Apparently, on more then one occasion, they traveled outside of the surrounding counties to support and hear the band perform. This information (based on the conversation)leads me to believe that Chelsea was not only an acquaintance but friends w/ the group. I am bothered that there hasn't been more involvement/support to find Chelsea by this group! I would just think if you know someone who followed & supported your hobby is missing...that you would provide the same support and interest in making sure this person is found safely!
