I haven't read all the posts here yet, so please forgive me if this idea can not be applicable in this situation, but just a thought, as I am reminded of the Tanya Rider case. Tanya was missing for 8 or 9 days after leaving work in her vehicle. Her husband was frantic. LE was of no help, and would not take the husband's missing person report for various reasons (she didn't have any disabilities, the circumstances of her disappearance weren't suspicious, etc.). The husband called 911 on several occasions begging for help, went to various police stations, and nobody would help. Finally, LE started interrogating the husband, and he was in the middle of taking a polygraph when it was announced they had found Tanya...She had been in an awful car accident. Her car had rolled off the freeway and out of sight from main view...she was pinned under the car the whole time...and she was ALIVE (barely, a few more hours and she would have been dead).
The point of this story is that Cluciano, could Bryce have been injured in this accident, and has wandered off somewhere with a fairly serious injury, and is lying out there somewhere, perhaps unconscious, and he just hasn't been found yet? He could still be alive, like Tanya was, so time is of essence, and hopefully every nook and cranny in the area is being searched with thermal detection, dogs, ground searchers, etc. Maybe under a tree out of the sun, or by a creek with water?
Tanya Rider's case was featured on ID's "Disappeared", Season 2, Episode 4, "No Exit". Her case is a great example of how its not always as easy as one might think to file a missing persons report. (And no MSM could feature his story without a police report!)
Again, sorry if this theory doesn't work due to information I've missed by not having yet read every post, MSM here. Trying to get caught up today!
Dragracerz, hoping for your nephew's safe return.
Also, nice to see all the new members here, and input from around the globe!
